Super FMU 4 Supercharged Maximas

I was thinking of replacing the FMU that came with the Stillen Kit.
I was thinking of getting the Super FMU. Has anyone bought this?

If you running stock boost no reason to change it really. If you change it you could get that but you gotta go to a good dyno shop to get it adjusted right.

I agree. I ran stock boost and when I dynoed my car after a certain rpm my fuel got really lean. So im gonna run 2 pulley sizes smaller, custom intercooler and thinking of getting the superfmu and see the results. Well no one has any info then I guess I'll be the first!

Your fuel was lean? You shouldn't go lean on stock boost with the 6:1 disc.

No need for a Super FMU unless you want to fine tune your fuel. A 8:1 disc should suffice.

I can't answer your PM's becaues your box is full.

You dont think that fine tunning my fuelwith the SuperFMU would be a good thing since my friend is gonna tune it on a dynojet? Its just that my fuel chart was fine then it ran really lean. My torque was about 234lbs and about 245hp. My friend said that if we could keep the fuel graph even till the end of the run that I could gain about 10hp. Im gonna go with 3.33, ApexiSFC(even though people say that the computer will learn the settings, and the FMU upgrade. The only reason that I wanted the SuperFMU is cause it was adjustable. What would you do??? thanks for the info.

Can you post your dyno plot up? What is really lean? 14? 13?

I ran rich with 8:1 with 11 psi on my dyno. Jane ran rich on the 3.25 with 8:1. I don't know why you ran lean... when did this start happening? Near redline?

You can use the S-AFC to tune your a/f. I believe Keven97SE said to set the hi throttle at about 41% so the ECU won't readjust the a/f. I haven't found the need to get the SuperFMU yet...

I'm thinking of getting the 8:1 then since everyone says that the Super FMU is not worth it, but I ordered the Apexi SAFC. I didnt know that HKS made one for our cars. Do you think the Apexi one will work?
