FMU Question

I have a weapon-r FPR and i know that would have been fine for nitrous, but should i get a FMU for my turbo or can i still use the fpr? Or both?

Does it feature a boost referenced adjustable rising rate? If not, then you need a different unit.

No it doesnt. Thanks for the info. What do you recommend? Cartech or Vortech? Do i need a different one since it is a turbo or will the ones that come with superchargers work?

Now here is one last question. My fpr has a vacumn connection. Does that cause it to rise? Or do the ones your talking about have two connections?

I would look into the Cartech unit. One unit can adjust base FP, wot FP and the how fast the FP rises per lb boost. Otherwise when you upgrade to a Walbro etc.. you will need one fpr unit for base/wot and another for boost referenced rising rate FP.

Can you take some honest feedback? I've read some of your posts and I know you want to boost. Asking questions here on .org is fine. But .org is not really the BEST source of info. The net in general is. Based on your question here and others I've seen, take a step back and do a massive research run on the net first. I don't know if you are close to starting your project, but I would delay it if you are. It doesn't get any easier from here.

Hell it's not like I'm some pro either.

True but i the reason why i ask all these dumb questions is because i am second guessing everything just in case i learned something wrong.

I thought the cartech does not adjust base FP. Vortech super FMU does....but it is quite expensive.

sounds good...is weapon R FPR adjustable? if so, you can lower your base FP a little so you will have more room to raise your fuel pressure.

Yeah it is adjustable. Not very complex of a unit though. Just an input and an output with a threaded top that turns to raise or lower. It also has one vacumn connection that i guess we have determined is for raising the fp at WOT.
