Do I need FMU?(fuel management unit)
I have the RC 440cc fuel injectors on my car now, those injectors is killing my motor, I asked some people on H-T.com, what the said to me is: DON'T DRIVE THE CAR UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASH YOUR RING OUT, or DON'T RUN 440cc ON YOUR CAR WITHOUT TUNING, YOUR FLOODING THE HECK OUT OF YOUR ENGINE. thats what they said, and I can't even drive my car right now, it dies at every 10 seconds. dont even say I can drive it up to bellingham for the tuning....
should I get a cheap FMU now or put those stock fuel injectors back on untill the tuning day?
P.S: I have hondata S200

I've been a member over there for a few years, generally you get pretty straight forward and accurate answers.
pop your stock injectors in, hook up the fmu and take a trip up north. Before you do all this, maybe read up on engine basics and tuning basics so you'll understand what your problem was. Being told what to do and understanding what your doing is two totally different things. I think now the best time to learn a little before you learn the hard (expensive) way.
carb connection (although asses) is in kirkland I don't know if thats closer to you but that may be an option, so maybe you can save some money by leaving the injectors in and having a buddy tow your car tothe shop. They tune hondata also.

Some people use FMU to describe any Fuel Managment System. This is technically correct, but counter to the popular convention used.
If we wanted to be correct, we would say Rising rate fuel pressure regulator, but we say FMU.

It's kinda like EMS. You could be talking about ANY EMS, but AEM has a solution branded as EMS...

Yeah exactly, but he's not going to get his hondata tuned with his car sitting in his driveway. He's not going to drive his car to bellingham with those injectors untuned, so he basically needs to either revert back to stock, or install the fmu and take a drive up there.
