Fmic help

[Pierce'sST]

So I recently purchased a Cobb fmic for my 2015 FiST and I have it installed. But my est. hp on my Accessport is reading lower then before. I was a bit confused on this even though I am putting my Cobb sf air intake in later this week and I’ll be able to run stage 2 so then I can really feel and see a difference in my Accessport. Andbody that can run some information through to me would be greatly appreciated

Yeah DONT READ into that Estimated HP stuff. Its always a guesstimate.

 

[Pierce'sST]

Okay I figured it was wrong because I’m running stage 1 and I just put in a fmic and I was only reading 175hp on full send so. But thank you for the insight

Also did you do a Kam reset after install?

 

[Pierce'sST]

I do not know what that is lol

I do not know what that is lol

It is where the You basically reset the computer to re-learn itself/ new parameters. KAM/ Keep Alive Memory.

Based off some of the forum posts I've read it's within 10% and it usually overestimates.

Oh okay I didn’t do that.. should I have done that before I drove it or is that just for like good measures

 

[TyphoonFiST]

You should usually do that when any major performance mods are made to help the car re-learn its self.

fwiw: you can run the stage 3 map with only an intercooler & panel filter required. Don't buy into the stage 1-2-3 shit, its just designed to get you to buy parts.

 

[Rocketst]

Yep, ran stage 3 the entire time I was upgrading. Loaded it up as soon as I got the accessport and filter and I didn't have an intercooler for about 6 months after that still ran fine.

you probably want a step colder plugs if you're running stage 2+ maps
