Formula Dynamics 4200 ECM Module

Are you getting the DBW as well?

I have a manual so didn't really see the point as the one advertised on their website is for CC cars. FD do offer a manual specific DBW module which enhances throttle response if you contact them... but I didn't see the point as with my modified exhaust I'm happy with the throttle I find it a bit of an animal in traffic even when being gentle.

FD will reprogram/check the module along with giving a new harness, instructions and bypass plug for a small fee.

I'm going to ask for fuel efficiency mapped to 99 octane as that is all I feed her. For the performance option I am not sure to go for peak BHP or peak torque which will probably provide a better user experience on the road.

What do you guys think will be better peak BHP or Torque? I have had primary cats and squish pipe deleted 100 cell race cats and unsilenced x-pipe.

I heard the small fee was $250 which is why I didn't go for it , is it less then

..plus shipping BOTH ways.
Could be cheaper now than a couple of years ago though. Possibly.
Still much cheaper overall than buying new however.

I contacted FD and asked them how much and what's involved, they responded within a day and I was happy with the offer from both sides... hopefully there won't be any problems fitting it to my old banger 4200. If I get it back in time I'm going to ask Autofficina to fit it during the major service end of January

So no opinions on peak torque or BHP?

If you use it to tow a caravan, go for torque. If you drive it like you stole it, go for bhp. Trust that helps.

Thanks Ewan... peak BHP mapped to 99 octane shell fuel it is then...
