ficm tuning

[what a mess]

I just got the php ficm tuner for 30% larger injectors but I have a budy who has stock injectors could we use my tuner to tune his truck

 

[Stroker04]

You can, but it could potentially lock the tuner to his truck. Doubt he will see a very big gain since that ficm tuning is for 30%+ nozzles.

You can always put your buddies truck back to stock and flash yours. Idk if it'll hurt anything though

 

[strokin6L]

It won't lock it. Just gotta turn your ficm back to stock before you do. I've tried mine on another already.

IDP's ficm tuner must be different than the PHP. Innovative's you don't even have an option to return it back to stock.

True.

I have both ficm tuners. I just loaded up phps and noticed a very smooth idle. Spool is slightly faster. I'm not running vgts, the non vgt hp lights up pretty quick. The 40 atlas made it a tad more responsive. Looking forward to trying different tunes and hopefully get out n get a live tune once it cools down some

What size injectors are you running with that setup Oliver?

 

[ODAWG714]

205/75s at the moment. I'm thinking possibly hybrids but not 100% certain yet.

Currently I'm messing with exhaust housings and tuning and tuning with the ficm being tuned as well. I'm loving the 1.03 housing on the hp just hate it when is starts hazing

 

[what a mess]

so it will work on stock injector trucks

 

[Stroker04]

Yes but don't expect the same gain. I'm sure they change some things for the increased nozzle size.

Since were on this topic, I see both sides of the story here concerning FICM tunes and larger injectors. Some say its a God sent gift, others say it makes it worse or nothing gained.

Who all has used it on a VGT setup. I think I read on a non-VGT setup its a very nice add-on. But on VGT, there isn't much gained. Any insight>

 

[ODAWG714]

I've used it with a vgt and it makes it very responsive. That's with php and idp.

My current non vgt setup is very responsive with out ficm tuning. Idk if it's a bpd 58v or what but it's on point. So far I've noticed better smoke out put and the idle is way better.

Egts idk havnt looked cause they're not a issue. With aggressive ficm tuning the back pressure jumps but then equals out up top

 

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Okay so it may be conducive to give it a try... I'd go with php most likely. I have a 58v ficm too...

 

[strokin6L]

I've used ficm tuning with both vgt and non vgt turbos....made a noticeable difference with both turbos.

 

[Twan]

I have ran both innovative and php with my setup.

Eric's was very smokey and egts were noticeable high. Then I bought php and have ran the 40hp, I like it, brings the power in a little sooner.

Hey guys I thought you may like to watch this. It's something my Ford mechanic has told me but I always thought he was wrong. Here is the link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gCi2yo4UqPI

Yes you can. Phps ficm tuner for 30% nozzle is good for stock to 30%. Any nozzle larger than 30% the tunes are different

 

[what a mess]

my tuner is for larger than 30%

 

[Fox hunt]

Hmm... that's interesting because on their site it says one version is good for stock-30% and another for above 30%+. I talked with Jay to confirm that.

 

[strokin6L]

Yeah there's two different tuning for nozzle size
