OK- here is the info on the FP reducer kit....

Fuel management System

This is probably a very stupid question, but can all these rich fuel problems be solved with the upcomming stand alone ECU management system?

If you get a stand alone that will work with our car- yes. If you wan tto go through the install, expense and tuning .. I am constantly looking for something that will work so I can use it on my car and the only things I have found were piggyback systems. A true standalone is near impossible to install correctly as our ECU sends the signal to the speedometer, tach, temp gauge, etc. and controls the voltage regulator in the alternator.. It would make for a very challenging install . Stand alone systems are not for beginners by any means.. A piggy back can be tuned at a shop and driven by anyone- a standalone is a totally different ballgame to get right and is not for everyone.

You will be fine. I wanted to get the kit to people who had proper gauges to monitor things first just in case the various climates give mixed results, but based on the three test cars (scattered acrross the country to test the climate thing), there will be no problem for anyone.. I'm sure if there is a weather change and something doesn't seem right, people with AF gauges (including myself) will sound an alert. I am very confident there will be no issues though as it is still pretty rich up top and has more room to be leaned out for optimum performance- I just wanted to keep it safe also.

Joe,

How ya doing? I'm a fellow DSM'er so I'm experienced with your work throughout the years.. keep it up big guy!

My question to you is: If this mod is done on a MSP and the owner decides to get a full 3" exhaust with no cats, better intake, etc all to improve hp (which will also make the car run a little leaner), and he decides to raise the boost, could the car run too lean with this mod? Would you recommend not doing this mod for this situation?

joes solution is for the overabundance of fuel. even with those mods you car will run on the rich side . it is safe and a well worth investment IMO.

very well put joe.
the module me and joe are working to get together will be a piggyback that interfaces with the stock ecu to control the boost cut, fuel injection and ignition characteristics.

Kinda like Greddy eManage?

nope much more effective.
greddy e manage cant control timing. they tried and that particular cable doesnt work. we can control both fuel and ignition along with another driver. either boost or boost cut etc

You pretty much described my car . This mod will still leave the car rich enough to be safe for any application. The fuel pressure regulator is a rising rate, so it will still increase fuel pressure as boost increases- just not at the same ratio. People who are serious tuners will be able to take this setup and still figure out a way to pull even more fuel for the most performance. I have to leave it well on the "safe" side since it is going in everyone else's car too under all sorts of conditions.

whats this piggyback module gonna run me? I think we all need it bad, thanks a lot for making it.

Joe,

I paypaled the 25 bones to ya any ETA on shipping for this item ?

you can PM me or hit me up at sportuningguru@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Craig

P.S. Lemme know where you are getting your 3 inch piping done, no shops around here will touch my dam car for exhaust. :mad:

Shipping out tomorrow. I'll keep you guys posted on the exhast stuff. We may just start with press bent stuff for now to keep it cost effective for those not gunning for 400 WHP .

Pimp as hell Joe, thanks for your help here. If you need test mules for anything, lemme know. Im more then willing to help out. I know my way around an engine bay quite well. (was mechanic 7 yrs in da army, everything from little 2 cycles to the turbo diesels in he Bradley IFV. )
