FP RED setups, recommendations, and advice
If you get the FP oil supply with the filter (vs. the one they sell that comes without the inline filter), how cumbersome is the process of changing the filter? Do you need to undo the oil line at the head to change/inspect it?
Regardless of what you do.... All I can say is that I can recommend the GM MAF and the translator as one of the most important upgrades. That helped so much for me with drivability. There were just a ton of little quirky problems... without... this beautiful piece of equipment! Havent made it back to the dyno yet. It will be soon though! I also have the FP Red with 1200's.
Not needed w/ a Red; stock ECU/MAF is more than able to handle the requirements to run without problems. The "quirky" problems were most likely due to the stock ECU not being tuned correctly.
^, I am inclined to agree. I am running 1000 cc injectors on stock ecu and stock MAF. tuned by Mellon. No quirks here, just power!
p.s. just received tracking info for my FP oil return line

I am not the first to speak of such quirky problems.... My tuner is one of the best on the east coast. He is more than knowledgeable.... So to say something along the line is foolish... All i was doing was offering some info on the GM MAF AND TRANSLATOR, and my experience with them on my car. I would recommend it to anyone. Leave it at that
Im gonna have to agree with vigilante ^^+1.. running a MAF-T has an abundance of options to fine tune.. I am going to run the same setup on 93 oct. at around 29-30 psi. I will have a built bottom end (2.0)and head (Buschur Stage3), but regardless, after seeing what the translator can do versus the MAF, there's no reason not to go with the "T". tuning is sooo much easier and defined. Anyway, GL either way, you should have great results.
Well, my 2¢ would be that if you call FP themselves, they will tell you 880 injectors; which is what i'll be running along with the 255 which i still don't have. What i do have is Buschur's Turbo back with test pipe, Buschur's O2 housing, Kelford 264/270 cams (Evo 9's have that lift), ARP Studs, Full-Race Exhaust Mani, K&N Cone Filter, AMS FMIC, Greedy Timer, AEM Truboost, AEM Wideband, AEM Voltmeter, and Tuned by TopSpeed Atlanta.

Key word of that whole spill "closer". Not yet there... Boy u are awesome... Quit throwing crap out about my tuner he is more than experienced with the stock ECU. He knows the stock ECU inside and out and has cars pushing almost 670hp on stock ECU. So plz do us all a favor and stop posting stupid crap ,arguing and insulting people. Douchebag.
What sort of quirky problems were you having? The only thing foolish is wasting your money on something not needed and then recommending that to others. There are plenty of high horsepower cars utilizing the stock ecu/maf without any issues, mine being one of them. If your tuner isn't able to work out the issues, maybe its time to look for a new tuner. ECUFlash is bringing the stock ECU closer to standalone capabilities and will make MAF translators a thing of the past with new features like map switching, speed density, load based boost control, etc. I'm glad your happy w/ your setup, I just don't want people to think it's a necessary step in the mod process especially when going w/ a turbo of this size.

Looks like you have a lot to learn, no sense debating as you clearly can't keep your composure. Do yourself a favor and read up in the ECUFlash forum as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about; the level of development on the stock ECU v. MAF Translator is laughable. I know what I'm talking about as I do my own tuning; you trust what you're told because you really have no clue. You said it yourself "He knows the stock ECU inside and out and has cars pushing almost 670hp on stock ECU", so why are you pushing to use a GM MAF & Translator? What sort of power are you putting down w/ your setup? If you would like to debate further, feel free to PM.

see the problem is that people like you spend to much time on the forums reading **** and never testing thing out them self, so keep your comments to your self unless you have the data and all the testing to back everything up. We do not use the maf to tune we stated **** like this on here to many time, we use the stock ecu to tune out cars. Just because you can tune your car doesn't mean you know it all. Show me a car that runs 1600cc on a stock maf??? and i will show you a car that runs 1600cc on gm maf like stock and yes idle like stock too.
