Default My Fuel Sytem Setup - whatcha think?

Greddy blue box- for sure
FMU 12:1 - maybe
FPR - already on

Pretty simple for now. Im only gonna rock 6psi. What do you think about using the box and the fmu? Fmu prolly not needed but just trying to be safe w/ fuel supply. Do I need a new pump to run the FMU? Thanx for your comments and help. :P

Well, I'd definately upgrade to a higher flow pump. And I understand that your only looking at about 6 psi right now, but with the $$$ you'll spend on the bluebox and the FMU, why not just pick up some 450's and an AFC. Step up that level of reliability and you'll be happier you did. You'll also be able to raise the boost if you so choose to in the future withought changing your fuel management for a second time

Hondata costs quite a bit of $$$ that he probably doesn't want to spend.

---- you guy's mine isn't moving, but whitey pretty much stole the words from me. If your serious about ecu tuning also, save yourself the 1500 or whateve hondata goes for and look into Uberdata or Turboedit. I personally use Uberdata and wouldn't shell out $1500 for a Hondata when Uber is just as good and free

I already have the FMU and Box. Im getting a VAFC in april or may. I then plan on 9-10psi w/ 450ccs. For now I guess Ill just use the blue box.

Well it's up to you. I'm not saying that the FmU won't be reliable at 6 psi, but when you do plan on stepping up the boost, I'd look into stepping up the Fuel management also. FMU will be fine for now.

You don't need a higher flowing pump.
You *do need* a pump that can put high fuel pressure.
In other words, you need inline fuel pump for FMU.
