isnt the smt6 meant to run with larger injectors?

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

im using it to run the 240cc inj but stock fuel pump of the 1.5 engine and stock fuel rail and reg

usin the smt6 i can just make the injectors throw in more fuel but to a limit

any advise wether to get the fmu or a adj reg ??

dude it is not worth blowing your motor to find out ???

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

You have too many valves for a turbo to handle

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

Read the FAQ in engine management. An FMU is reccomended for less than 6psi. Anything over that is dangerous and if you want to be safe you should upgrade

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

ok so wat should i go for then a adju reg, or change the fuel pump

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

bro my ride is 1,5 SOHC 8valves its a 4cyl
how can i have too many valves ???

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

i really thought youcould use the smt6 with bigger injectors, look into that

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

i have bigger inj they are 240cc the stocks were 150cc

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

for 160whp u might be able to pull it off with 240s

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

so i would need then FMU or not ?? should i just stay w the stock fuel pump and 240cc inj or wat ?>?

get ngk's the plug of champions

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

FMUs do work.
Unless you have a Honda and have an IQ above normal. Then you have better options. Since you dont have either read on.

Why are you looking into this are you runing lean ?
If your runing lean look at something simplere like increasing the fuel pressure in your fuel rail. If that dont work an FMU can be setup to work.

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

i aint runnin lean at all im runnin rich , but i wanna knw if the fmu is any good for any other car besides a honda , so u didnt need to say that lame ---- ...

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

yes, fmus come in a lot of s/c kits and turbo kits for mustangs/camaros/honduhs/ext

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

A FMU will work with any fuel injectected motor with a return fuel line, so no it does'nt have to be a "Honda".

The main problem with a FMU is it does'nt take much to reach the safe limit. Fuel pressure can get very high and the fuel pump will not beable to supply enough pressure, plus the injectors could lock up. And it does'nt do any thing with ignition timing.

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

X2! I had one on my old Cutlass that shot the ceramic out of the metal from the pressure. And it was a stock Rocket 350 with 8.0-1 compression... >:(

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

also, there isnt much tuning to be had on most.

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

Is your car running, or not yet?

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

was running but ran in to a couple of probs, a couple of exhaust guys been tellin me my turbo mani is too restrictive and i need a new one, and now im tryin to make sure my fuel will be enough for the 7-10psi i will be running

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

so i should get a new pump and keep the fuel sys as this : 240cc with a bigger fuel pump my stock one is 65psi so i should get a bigger pump and call in the day ?

wtf is up w the attitude here !!!!!

heres old pics i got http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/269462

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

Oh SnaP!

But seriously, I would'nt just go about running 7-10psi with the tuning that you have. Start at 6 (or as low as the waste gate will let you) and slowly work your way up untill you here deto and watch the AFR. With stock compression and timing with pump gas and piggy back's for tuning, 10 pounds can ---- thing up in a hurry.

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

Is there anybody else running a similar setup like this on the same motor? 240's may be enough for the amount of power you will be making. What kind of power do these things put out stock? I'm guessing its not much.

Re: Is the FMU Bad for all cars
 

the 240's come from a 2.0 DOHC engine with 145bhp
