I'm currently running 12 lbs. of boost on a stock D16z. The only problems Ive had so far are broken motor mounts and a blown head gasket. The mounts were replaced and the head gasket upgraded to a cometic unit. The only engine management is a vortech FMU. The fuel curve doesn't lean out at all, even under full boost. I've been running this set up daily for about 3 months, Should i upgrade the engine management, or fuel system if i havent had any problems with it? Or do I have a ticking timebomb on my hands?

 

From what I've read, you should most definately upgrade your engine management to avoid a nice big, blown up engine.

 

Naah dont upgrade. Just take pics afterwards.

 

why would u wait to blow ur motor to upgrade ur managemnt lol, management should always be a thought, upgrade asap. jus cuz you haven't blown up yet, dont mean it aint causin problems or aint gonna happen.....

 

If you do go to larger injectors etc dont expect a basemap to be some miracle. The car will need to go on a wideband with a skilled guy pressin the keys. Depending on your area there a few here on the baord that can help

 

 

my basemap was a miracle... ask kevin. over a year bein on it, 14psi daily. bomb gas milage, n felt ------ awesome in boost. of course it woulda been better if i got it tuned, but i jus wanted to say miracles happen.

 

Are you sick chris? I have noticed 16.8% of your posts have been helpfull, up from the .28% helpfull like normal.... What gives? :P
