first has anybody else purchased the spacer to put an FD uim on a s5 lim? if so did it fit with no modification required? also what can i remove off the FD UIM that will still allow me to run it on an FC with no problem, i kno i need the tps but is ther anything else?

 

why do you want to a fd uim, wants wrong with the fc one?

 

better torque band on the FD UIM. slight hp jump in the higher rpms also.

Other than the TPS, the obvious such an intercooler piping will have to be rerouted. Doing such a mod would recommend running a standalone also.

 

everything he said and also its just a much cleaner look, and the TB on the FD mani is huge compared to the FC one

 

i will be running a microtech lt-10 but i just wanna be sure that all those little sensors here and there on the mani could be eliminated

this is not true, you can do this mod and keep the stock ecu

 

I said "RECOMMEND" running a standalone. Why? Because if you're using the POS stock ECU, then why would you even want to do this type of mod?

Using the FD UIM automatically means you're running a front mount intercooler. Maybe a turbo upgrade, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, boost controller, and fuel controller if you're lucky.

With all those mods, then you should already be thinking about a standalone and dumping the stock ECU/harness.

 

yea well all my mods are in my sig. its not all in but its in the works

you are correct, but with all those mods you said a stand alone is recomended ..... its required

 

you're trying to mix up my words.

IF YOU'RE JUST DOING THE FD UIM, then a STANDALONE is RECOMMENDED, but not a must, depending on additional modifications.

But if you have all the mods I listed then a standalone is REQUIRED!

 

if you're going for FD UIM go and spring for the cosmo's -RE mani......

 

i just had a really good thread on the FD mani swap like a few days ago. search.
