could a 12:1 vortech fmu be enough for the 14b at 8 psi? i just want to have the turbo installed for now and then upgrade the to uberdata. thanks.

Yes it should be fine if everything else is hooked up correctly.

Re:fmu question
 

well what do you mean by hooked up correctly?

Re:fmu question
 

yeah it should be fine...i have a vortech 12:1 on my prelude and it runs fine with 8psi...just T off the vacuum line that goes into the stock FPR and hook that up to the fmu...and then hook up the fuel hoses...i believe that the connection in the middle is the inlet and the one on the side of it goes to the return line...might want to research that though...

"should be fine, should be fine"

FMUs are for people who get a sexual stimulation out of blowing their engines to pieces.
Just my $0.02

Re:fmu question
 

get rid of the FMScrew on ebay and get yourself a vafc and some dsm 450s' saving an extra $50-$100. now will cost you
$800. in pistons and rods later

Re:fmu question
 

From what I see, you have a choice to make. You can either blow up your motor from a lean condition using a FMU, or from too much timing advance from a AFC, so what's it gonna be?

If it was up to me, I'd modifly the waste gate to run 6psi and use a FMU untill there's enough money saved to do it right.

Re:fmu question
 

i've been running a vafc at 11psi for 4 months now with only 3 degrees timming retarding at the distributor and 1 step colder plugs. dyno tunned, no detonation or problems.
it's all about how it's tunned.

Re:fmu question
 

How do you check for detonation trebor? ;)
