SOHC and know idea of the size of the compressor

Re:turbo setup
 

I just want to know how much boost can I run? I read some things on this site some say fmu okay some say it sucks.Im just starting so Im trying to play it safe and not blow my motor yet.

Re:turbo setup
 

Well running an FMU is an inexpensive way to increase the ammount of fuel your stock injectors will put out. It's certainly not the best way and can be difficult to get good AFR's out of. But, using one is kind of dependent on how much power your looking to get out of the engine.
Are you looking to keep it fairly mild (5-6 psi on stock internals) or are you going to be building the engine up to handle quite a bit of boost? I personally wouldn't run an FMU unless I absolutely needed to, but it's all up to how much you expect out of this setup and how much you want to put into it.

i dont plan on rebuilding the motor till she blows but i would like to run as much boost as i can safley.i also got the head shaved to 40 port and polished 3 angle valve job.how would this affect me.

Re:turbo setup
 

Yeah I would definately sell the FMU and look into running a better source of fuel management. At least look into running an Apexi AFC and a set of 450cc injectors. You'll get plenty of fuel with that system and it's alot more reliable and tuneable than an FMU.
More than likely having your head shaved like that is going to bump compression up. Porting will increase airflow which in turn means you'll need to supply more fuel. Your going to need something you can tune to run safely and effectively. I'd try and stay away from that FMU on this project.

damn.I just order the damn thing brand new. how much would this cost me what you are talking about

Re:turbo setup
 

Since your new, you should step back from buying parts and read everything. Read all the FAQ's then go to www.turboD16.com and read the FAQ's there. I have learned a ton from these guys and if you do the research you will be a lot safer and happier in the long run.

Re:turbo setup
 

CSaddict is right, there is alot of reading and learning involved before just going out and buying parts. But if you look around you can find a decent AFc for about $250-$300 and a set of DSM 450cc injectors for $60 or so.
