Selling my VORTECH FMU...
sup everyone, I'm selling the following:
VORTECH FMU
- with a 6:1 diaphram
- with the correct fittings already (you don't get this if you purchase separately)
- with fuel lines already for a 2.0 beta (you don't get this if you purchase separately)
They retail at $147.00 but you can find them for like $130.00 or so, I have been using it for no more than 2-3 months or so, I will let it go for $115.00 plus shipping, I would guess no more than $5.00 shipping... the fittings I'm told run for about 6-8 bux each... and not sure on the hoses, just so you see this is not a bad price...
email me for info... thanks guys
THIS IS FROM THE VORTECH SITE:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>[body]What is an FMU?
The letters FMU stand for "Fuel Management Unit". Basically, an FMU is a fuel pressure regulator. The FMU is used on fuel injected, supercharged engines using the factory electronic engine management system.
When an engine is supercharged the air delivered to it is greatly increased. For the engine to run properly and make max power a 11.5:1 air/fuel ratio must be maintained. Since the factory electronic controller can compensate for this increased air flow (it was not designed for supercharger use) another way has to be found to supply the necessary additional fuel. The FMU is the device that does this.
The FMU is installed just down stream of the stock fuel pressure regulator. It does not control fuel pressure until the engine manifold pressure comes under boost from the supercharger. As the manifold pressure increases, a pressure line from the manifold to the FMU causes the FMU to increase the fuel injector rail pressure. The increased fuel pressure causes the injectors to deliver more fuel to the engine. With this system the stock factory electronic controller can be used without modification on a supercharged engine with good results. The reason the Vortech supercharging systems are smog legal is because the stock controller is retained unmodified and at part throttle the engine's performance and emissions are not effected.[/body]</div>
I will post pics of mine as soon as I get home
