Some fuel manage Q's
Alright im boosting a d16z6 with a t25, i plan on using a jackson racing fmu 12:1, im ordering a map sensor tricker thingy off ebay, also dont i need a fuel pump? i wanna go inline because it seems easier to install (correct me if im wrong) What type of fuel pump should i go with? Any other OEM pumps work? cuz they sell a whole bunch of em for other cars on ebay, any help would be great thanks.

Re:Some fuel manage Q's
How much boost do you plan on running? If your going the FMU route yes I'd highly recommend getting an upgraded fuel pump. And I wouldn't go with one out of another OEM vehichle, especially a used one. Invest some money into a 255 LPH pump. I personally think an Intank pump is easier to install, but thats just me. The inline pumps tend to be pretty loud when their running and I think you've still got to run the stock pump along with the inline...You will need some check valves or a missing link (or a MAP tricker thingy ;). But if you plan on going over about 8 psi, I'd just save your money and buy some 450's and an AFC. It's more reliable and you'll get better tuning out of it.

Re:Some fuel manage Q's
Pump installation really depends on car generation for the model.
Like 88-91 Civics and CRXs have to have thier tanks dropped, where as 92+ have an access panel under the seat. Very quick to install the 92, not so quick on the 91.. As far as the FMU + "MAP sensor Tricky Thing". If you don't know what it is, and how it works, why are you installing it on your car? :-\ That's just personal theory. Read the Engine Management FAQ. Get some basic information about what you're attempting to do. You may have your idea swayed in a direction that is cheaper, more reliable, and more flexible in the long run. |

I understand that a vafc/injectors would be the way to go, but for now i will use a FMU, and when i get more money i'll go vafc. And the map sensor thing tricks it into not seeing vacuum thus not throwing a CEL, correct? And i do have a 5th gen civic so i suppose an intank pump would not be hard to install, also i'd like to run 5 - 10 boost (not 10 daily of course just when those bastards at the HT meet are talkin ----) but yeah. I'm lovin the info keep it comin, opinions welcomed.
