Im building a gsr motor. i got what i need for the bottom end (forged pistons, rods,etc. no sleeves just a block guard), the head is staying stock for now. I have a t3 garret turbo setup (blowoff valve,fmu,35mm wastegate,intercooler and boost controller.) Now, ive done research and heard stories on fmu's (basically keep the boost low). I want to upgrade my fuel management but this is what i got for now. Is that good enough for starters. i have jdm gsr injectors. also i got a sci msd ignition. and blaster coil. any advice will help. :icon16:

if you spent this much money on your build up already, why not just spend the extra money on the standalone?

i personally would have gone with the standalone first instead of the internals if i wasnt going to be boosting much.

I boosted a B16@12psi on stock internals and a dyno tuned hondata unit for 2+ years. No problems here.

You should be fine, just watch what you are boosting till you get a standalone unit.

that system should be good for your car as long as you keep at realistic boost levels...you dont "have" to have a stand alone but if you wont to get anywhere above 10-12 psi i would recommend it
