134303, FMU brands
Posted by gallacmic, Jun-05-11 03:29 PM
Hey I'm about to buy a vortech 6:1 fixed ratio FMU. This FMU runs $173 which is not a huge deal since I've already dropped thousands into my engine build already with all the reputable name brand parts. However once in a while there are some less expensive parts that come through to be a good purchase for some people. For me and as unlikely as it would seem. My OBX intake mani has turned out to be ok after I ported it and drilled and tapped the appropriate holes in it. Now its great. I'm wondering if anyone has had a different brand FMU other than vortech that turned out to be a good purchase? The ones I'm running into the most are Vortech, JDM, and OBX and BLOX.:shrug

You can find FMUs for sale in our BST section much cheaper than that. I may actually have one in a box somewhere that I'm not using.

They would most likely be used, and/or require a recalibration kit. The recal kits cost maybe $30 from what I remember, and come with multiple rise rates, e.g. 12:1, 8:1, 6:1, etc.

The BST forum is near the bottom of the main forum listing.

I have a BEGI rising rate FPR with all the fittings and mounting hardware if you are interested. Probably only ran it for like 20K miles.
