FMIC Conversion - Need ECU Remap?

Post by Alphat »

Hiya,

I'm going to be installing a Greddy V-Spec FMIC kit on my S14 soon.
Will I need to get the Unichip ECU remapped after the install?

Thanks

It might be a good idea seeing that the cooler the air the more you can get into the combustion chamber and will need more feul to compensate.

Get a good O2 sensor and see what your mixture is running at.

Then decide if you feel safe with that and go from there.

What Intercooler was it and what was the pressure drop across the core? Also piping size?

This could have resulted in the power drop.

I am assuming you will be taking the car to Rezlo? I mean he know his way around a FC and a S14
