scoobykilla Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thinking about relocating the air filter to the front bumper, i currently run a de-cat pipe and nur spec exhaust and a rx-7 top mount, will this cause fuel cut as i dont have an FCD or aftermarket ECU ???

TrisK Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) any breathing mod will bring you closer to fuel cut matesome people are unlucky enough to get it with just 1 of the 4fmicintakedecatexhaust Edited April 20, 2012 by TrisK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoobykilla Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Awryt cheers TrisK looks lyk al just have to get a decent aftermarket ECU if am going to let the motor breath any better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That or a fuel cut defender ... Until u upgrade the turbo it'll keep costs down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoobykilla Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Awryt sweet, how much roughly would i be for a FCD and r they easy to fit ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Awryt sweet, how much roughly would i be for a FCD and r they easy to fit ?They are about 50 quid, and are 4 wires to fit.but they arent safe or a good idea really.it is the cheap way to do it, but an ecu is 500/600 quid. which is cheaper than a rebuild Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 And don't just fit an FCD on its own, otherwise you'll be running lean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoobykilla Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hmm ok, well am going to be wanting more power out the V soon so think i will just go for a new ECU better start saving the pennies lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metalmickey0 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 reading the above post. I am wondering. Would it have any effect on N/A running a K&N filter of running to lean or cutting fuel off.Or am i ok as it currently is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukeEP82 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Fcd are perfectly safe to use you just need to get it set up on a rolling road. I run a turbo smart fcd with turbo smart mbc set at a bar , fmic and relocated air filer. 189Bhp and the fueling is spot on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
