Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

Do i really need a FMU or FPR? Is it safe to run without one for awhile, planning on runnning 6-7 psi on stock B18B1. I was a lil short on money so i didnt buy one of them.

get turboedit/uberdata

:nod:

cheap and works great, fmu's are pieces of ----. dont boost unless u have fuel management under control.

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

i ran with no fuel management for a week or two. what you do is retard your timing at the dizzy all the way, run 93 oct. gas, and get an extra coolant temp sensor to hang in your engine bay tricking the car in to thinking it's running cold, therefore making it run rich. i wouldn't try this if you're not running an intercooler. don't boost over 5 psi like this either, but it does work.

you didnt just say that for real did you? :o BAD KEVIN, BAD!!!

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

----, i was actually running really rich.

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

I did the exact same thing since I had to have a way to drive my car until I could get my ECU chipped. I didn't want to do it, but Jeff forced me to do it!!! :P

I ripped on it a few times. ;)

dude, Keven's setup was soo ghetto but it worked.. even tho he lost to a talon >:(

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

Yeah....just do the temp thing and ghetto the ---- out of it until u can chip yer ecu. but i wouldn't boost at all, just stay in vac until u get anything

that was b/c i didn't have a wg either, if i ripped on it too hard, i would boost 30+ psi, that wouldn't be good. i had to ease the gas as my wg ;)

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

30psi?

hahaaha...


not to jack the thread, but my buddy has this old like 88-89 civic with dpfi on it...im pretty sure it is a 1.5L well i'm goign to just slap the turbo kit on there, remove the wastegate and setup WOT as rich as the 450cc's will let it , and then run a quarter with it...

one time 10 second club member.

im pretty sure it'll blow after 0-60 or so but it'll be fun to watch. i'll bring a vidoe camera and ----

^^^ you'll never even get it started with 450's unless you have some sort of hack or chipped ecu, good idea though ;)

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

Ah, the children are learning ;)

Coolant temp sensor/retard timing trick cant get anymore HMTish than that :)

Re:Do i really need a FMU or FPR?
 

When I said i'd run it as rich as the 450's would go at WOT,i meant i'd change the maps for TE.

I'd use my chipped ecu with it turboedit
