#134303, "FMU brands"


          

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 emoji

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.
