possibility of remote mount turbo

[TurboBeretta]

The FMU's seem to work well for up to 8 psi or so. After that, other tuning methods are necessary. I have used Split Second's FTC1 with 42.5 lb/hr injectors to replace my old FMU. It runs better off idle and worse at idle (no computer tuning). There are a bunch of piggybacks that can be used to trick the ECU into providing the right fueling. Some of the piggybacks will even drive the injectors themselves.

What ratio of FMU did you use with your old setup? 8:1, 10:1, 12:1? Thanks

loner666: I might of asked the same question as turboberetta before, but yeah what are you running for tuning? and what year is your corsica?

My beretta is a 94. ODB1.5 bastard untuneable ecm. :P

same as you..POS 94 ECM..its handling it pretty well..95% of my driving is still "stock" to the ECM..i have 21lbs accel injectors, 255lph pump, and a RRFPR..but that all changes in the next few weeks because im upgrading to OBD2 so i can tune the damn thing..

for who ever has this done already, do you have any issues with the air filter sucking up water?

i have seen NUMEROUS sts powered t/a s and cameros here in lubbock, and it floods alot, and they have no problem at all, if you are a bit squeamish about it, use the filter wrap, it helps

[loner666]

yes the wraps help..i have driven in many bad storms already and had no problem..believe it or not i had a issue in the car wash with it but wasnt bad enough to hurt anything..just ran alittle funny for a minute but just fine after that

[gectek]

well water isnt the big bad enemy that everyone thinks it is, esp in a setup like this, the heat from the turbo would prob vaporize any water, or at least atomize it enough to cool down the intake charge, just like a water injection system does. i hae seen a r!c3 car here that has his stuck through the hood and he drives just fine...very funny though

[loner666]

exactly the way i usually look at it when people ask how i drive it in the rain

Mine was a 12:1. It ran pretty rich under boost though. You could probably get away with a 10:1. You would want to dyno with a wideband to choose the correct one.
