Raz Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I really need my Glanza to stop hitting Fuel cut. I don't want to get a FCD because they are shit. The other way is to get ECU/RemapWhat is the cheaper option...and where fromGot eaten by a fucking VTR?!!!!! due to fuel cut and ecu light came on for first time because i din't back off after fuel cut hit and carried on pedal to the metal!It isn't that fucking slow i've had 60 in 6.8 secs, capable of 6.2 on a good day!

ste91 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'd drive off a cliff if I got beaten by a VTR in a Glanza. IMO the cheaper option is shit, either get a 2nd hand E-Manage Blue or just use a plug & play ECU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 When the stupid fuel cut kicked in (i expected it) i fuckin punched the steering pretty hard, left marks in the leather lol... When i got out i slammed the door and kicked it, which i later realised i just dented my car :S not alot though because of the angle i hit it at, but still fucking chav in VTR or probably even look alike with lowered,bodykit and exhaust in the center with u-wright tip in black colour. And i did later think of driving into a tree. but guess what i din'tbut i am still pissed of with the shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blitz Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 FCD is shit????i got one on mine mate and its okwhy are they shit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 They are shit because people put them on without compensating for the fuelling.And they're shit because they're the most basic way of raising the boost. I wouldn't bother with it to be honest. A good piggyback or stand-alone is far better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well if you do decide you want one I have one sitting here bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Lol, even my N/A will and has had VTR's lol, a good workman never blames his tools!!!Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Your asking for a cheap option yet you don't want a FCD? You could use one temporarily until you can afford a proper ECU or piggyback.What mods have you got? Try covering the filter in foam or something to restrict the air going in, seen it done before and it helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 port the wastegate on the turbo worked a treat for me and get a upgraded manifold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 cant call fcd's shit because other people dont use them properly also it may be the most basic way but if it does its job then why not lol. think id opt for an ecu etc if i was seriously upping the power though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 who told u fcd's are shit? they are shit if you dont use them properly. sure its the cheaper way but its the route most people go down and if its set up right there is very little chance youd have a problem with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverglanza Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 hahaha ive beaten vts no prob and ive been 2 car lengths away from a astra gsi turbo 230bhp mines standered well was i put a tmic rx-7 and switched my boost pipes around but i do notice when i rag it my managment light comes on some times as its boostin 11psi what psi is fuel cut must be close to that ?

Jae-Glanza Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 How on earth did you lose to a vtr? is that possible? there terribly slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Come on lads all theys comments and know one has even thort of a boost controller or a £95 HKS actuator as the oem one is shit...If i was you mate id buy an actuator and set the boost at 10psi then if the boost creeps a bit through the rev range you should be just underfuel cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Maybe because that's not solving the problem at all? Merely avoiding it if anything, and there's no point in running more boost if fuel cut is still present, raised boost will only make it more apparent each time it's given a bootfulDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 its not avoiding the issue, if he has a pretty much stock spec glanza there is no point getting a piggyback on stock components. you can still get good power under fuelcut as glanza cl made 170bhp.

And each car reacts differently to fuel cut, some come earlier, some come later, theres no pinpointing an exact spot where it'll come in, as for a piggyback? Why not? That way he can play about with the mapping, eliminate fuel cut, and have more scope for tuning later on. Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 dont you think getting a piggyback for addressing his problem is like killing a ant with a 12 bore. it is likely to be a little issue like boost creep because of the tiny penny valve. a hks actuator or a boost controller would solve this problem for sure. there aint any point getting a piggyback if all he wants to do is eliminate fuelcut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok it's not exactly "good" for it but hitting fuel cut/rev limiter is better for an engine than running lean or bouncing a valve.But yes a piggyback/standalone ECU wins hands down. Don't fuck around with FCD/RRFPR crap, it's no where near as good.edit - I'd agree with VPower if all he wants to do is solve fuel cut. Port the wastegate and get a HKS actuator, set below 12psi and you're set. Unless you've got both a relocated airfilter and full exhaust system with a decat then you may still get creep.

He raced that GSI is it black, he was all over him Back on topic your a complete nub for loosing to a VTR even with fuel cut WTF???I used to keep with one of the lads B18 EK9 whilst bouncing off the fuel cut about 20 times Get a boost gauge and use that instead of the rev gauge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
