Auto = 8 (
J body style = 8 (
FMU = 8 (

You liking it = 8 )
Ecotec = 8 )


Somebody else had a boosted Cavi on here.

The Ecotec is a potential monster, it just seems its lacking streetable support(wrather than high end drag racing), but that's changing.

Good work. Good write up. And I completely agree with the XS Power BOV. My friend has one on his MR2 and its equivilent to throwing a bucket of water at the ground every time he shifts. Even under 5 psi... sucks.

Its not an eco ;) The Eco is the 2.2L that wasn't available in the J's until late 2002, mine is a 2000 2.4L LD9 (read NOT a quad 4).

Not sure why nobody likes the FMU, I don't have any available ECU tuning like the honda guys, so I need something to increase fuel relative to boost. HP Tuners is supposed to come out with something relatively soon, so as soon as I get that, the FMU goes.

To each there own on the J-body or Honda. I don't personally like the Honda's style, but I do appreciate the amount of work that goes into setups like this, regardless of the car. You guys have a lot more aftermarket support than we do, so it takes a bit more customization to get some things meant for other applications to work.

NOT ECOTEC? BULLSHIT FUC YOU ---- THIS FUCLKASJLDSJGFlSDJGLJKSDG

Just kidding. Nice to see that you worked with what you had.

FMU's are looked down upon due to the detonation they cannot prevent at high RMP's and boost levels.

Re: Pics of my custom setup
 

Lucky enough then, my cavalier can only rev to 6500 RPM :) Its not a high revving honda ;)

Re: Pics of my custom setup
 

lol they can stop detonation at high rpm levels if they provide enough fuel...

don't be jelious of his madd tyte jdm skills

ditch the FMU and run either emanage, or stick with the AFC.

as others have said, they dont save your motor, they will kill it faster.

maybe look into a OBD1 conversion and run a older ecu with a custom eprom for your application.

there is also a chance if you are running low enough boost and a moderately sized injector, the ecu might be able to handle it.

Re: Pics of my custom setup
 

Problem with the SAFC is that you can't tune it in boost, it can't add any more fuel than 100% voltage on the MAP sensor, and the MAP sensor maxes out as soon as you hit boost. We can't use 2 bar map sensors, so that kinda screws me. I could get the GM reflash and the 2 bar map sensor, then tune with the SAFC, but I'm holding out for HPT to come out with thier software.

So far the ECU has been pretty happy with the 320cc injectors. The A/F's during cruising and idle are respectable, so I think I'm going to try putting in the 370's and see how it likes it. Either way the current FMU/SAFC setup isn't staying, they are both going to get replaced with the HPT software if they ever get off thier asses and get what they promise on the market.

Nice pics and setup.
I can only dream of actually making more than 100ft-lbs of TQ <6000rpm in my Honda.
