Fuel Management

Unless you have a 2.0 ECOTEC motor (LSJ or LNF), your MAP or MAF sensor and computer (PCM) isn't designed to see boost. Because of this, it will not accomodate enough fuel during boost. You need the proper fuel management system. Current popular choices are:

- HP Tuners [Interface Pictures]
- Megasquirt Standalone Unit [Megasquirt Picture]
- FMU (Set Ratio or Adjustable) [Vortech 12:1 FMU Picture]
- DFMU
- EIC (Extra Injector Controller) Unit
- AEM EMS
- GM Supercharger Reflash
- JBody Performance computer Reflash

With the GM reflash, you need to replace your stock MAP sensor with a TMAP sensor. The TMAP sensor is a Temperature/Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. Basically, you're getting rid of your IAT sensor and splicing the wiring into the new wiring that goes to the connector of your new TMAP sensor. The GM reflash will change the fuel curve, accomodate the right amount of fuel while in boost, retard ignition timing and change the duty cycle on your injectors so you can idle properly with bigger injectors.

The reflash is only available for 02-05 ECOTEC equipped J-Bodies.


i have an 03 Eco 2.2L how can i find out if it has J-Bodies? or should i just get a fuel management system?

(Im not planning on doing this anytime soon, but i just want to know for future reference)
