With a fuel pump in place you should be able to hit up to 2-3psi w/o an FMU.. just becareful... Use an EGT + A/F guage at all times..


good luck !


410, 2-3psi without a fmu?

Just curious, hwo do you figure that?the MAP doesn't even see + pressure so it won't know what to do with that extra air. Granted Leon has a 95, but his fuel pump isn't going o raise fuel pressure, he stil has the stock reg on that will set it at around 47-50psi.
You need that extra 15+psi of fuel pressure to basically "push" more fuel through your injectors at eh higher feul pressure.
I think you might have it backwards. I wouldn't be afraid of boosting 3-4psi with a stock FUEL PUMP, and a 12:1 riser but not just a fuel pump. I'm not totally sure, but I know our pumps have top be good for at least 80-85psi of fuel pressure (otherwise you would see a lot more problems with the DRY NOS setup guys)
just my 2 cents, give me your thoughts.
Oh, LEon. dod you get your e-mail? FMU is on its way!

Oh hehe... The reason i know is because i tried it...
Well my FMU vacuum line got disconnected and i was leaning out running @ 5psi...
but when i backed down the boost it seemed ok @ just a couple of psi... Im sure it might just a little lean but it will be ok..


okay enuff rambling.. !!

So does that mean upgrading the fuel pump would make my car run rich now? Hmmm....

I don't think I wanna even try running boost yet...that thought of that scares me..

Wyatt: Yes I got the email..thanks so much! I hope I get my SuperFMU pretty soon!
