chr15_7_t_ Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 if youve got a spare fcd thers no harm in trying that just incase your one is nackrd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatep82 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 if my other fcd still does not stop the problem what could it be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chr15_7_t_ Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 hmm couldnt help you there mate sorry.. keep this updated and let me hear how you get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Could be wiring or setting on the fcd to start with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chr15_7_t_ Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 did you get this sorted yet mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 the greddy FCDs are different from the HKS ones. they are actually good for a start. the bypass the cut rather than change the ECU signals. you cant change settings on them etc. what sort of thing is happening? it might not be fuel cut. is the EM light coming up on the dash?

chr15_7_t_ Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 you seem to be realy smart rick...your a handy guy to know lol..when i go to buy a fcd would you recomend a greddy then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 the ONLY fuel cut defenders worth their salt is the Greddy unit (has to be the 4efte one though, they are car specific) or the JAM Racing ones. they are quite hard to find these days mind. the HKS ones are just crap to be honest. they resist the ecu signals so the car thinks its running a lower boost. it effectivly leans the fueling out across the entire rev range. a very pikey (but cheaper to produce) way of doing things.

chr15_7_t_ Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 going on a hunt for one of them now lol...cheers :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 dont believe in fcd's 2bh will never use one but as rick said the hks ones really are shockingI've gone down the plug and play ecu route much more beneficial in my opinion guysand tat did you get your plug in and play? and if so did it sort the problem out? havnt heared from you in a while give us an update lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 the HKS ones are just crap to be honest. they resist the ecu signals so the car thinks its running a lower boost. it effectivly leans the fueling out across the entire rev range. a very pikey (but cheaper to produce) way of doing things.disagree there, for a few reasons, i produced a greddy duplicate fcd, working on the same principles as a clamp, it cost me £3, and all the parts were bought from maplinHKS works in a different manner, with a HKS FCD, an SAFC, and a regulator, its very easy to set up the fueling, just by cutting it back with the SAFC lower in the rev rangethe RRFPR, works over the whole range as the boost increases, so having this fitted with the jam or greddy unit, will be overfueling quite alot at lower revs, to adjust and be nearly right above boost cut, and running very rich, is just as bad as lean matei understand, for normal dirving and only boosting now and again, people go for the Greddy unit, because it dont alter the fueling on normal driving, and i agree, for that purpose its prob better, but with the right tools, there is no fault with the HKS unit, then again, i sold mine, to buy emanage, and in all fairness, is a much better route, and not that much more exspensive in the end upeach to here own, alot of people prefer greddy and jam, as they clamp, so dont alter till over boost cut seting of 4.1 ish volts, but after this, both FCD do the same thing, and will be lean above that with no other modsbadass-- you havent heard form him, because he had these problems, then listed the car forsale, without mentioning these problems, and got caught out lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 did i say anything about compensating for fueling? or did he for that matter? orite. HKS units, lean out the fueling. tricking the ECU into thinking its doing something it isnt is very backwards in my opinion. you shouldnt have to upgrade your fueling to compensate for a fuel cut defencer. clamping is much better.

scot-ish Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 what do you think the clamp does? above boost cut? it tricks the ecu into believe there is 0.8 of a bar, when in essence there is 1 or 1.1 bar, thus leaning the combustion processif your gunna fit a FCD, or BCC, then you need to compensate for fueling. just fitting a greddy BCC, will do alot of damage aswell, if you dont compensate for fueling, as it leans the mixture out, above fuel cut, when potentially there is more of a need than at lower revsso in essence, whichever FCD or BCC, you decide to choose, you need to compensate on the fueling side of things, otherwise why would you fit it if you wernt planning on boosting over the set cut?

StarletRick Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i know, but it doesnt do it across the revs like the hks. which is why its better. clamping is better than resisting. im not sure what your point is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 @scot yeh i saw you caught him out on piston heads but he said he wasn't selling it now and hes bought a plug and play ecu to solve the problem so thought he was keeping it now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paynee Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 what sort of thing is happening? it might not be fuel cut. is the EM light coming up on the dash?what does it mean if the em light is coming on??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
