tommyn1991 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Something standard or an add on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I really need to find someone on here local that can actually tell me what I've got on this car because I keep finding new bits 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 You may have a blown engine shortly if you don't know how the car has been setup with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 ITS A BOMB GET DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN... RUNNNN GET TO DAAA CHOPPPAAAAAA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Riiight should I take it off then?Or things I can check to make sure it's okay?Spec of the car atm is:FMICtubular maniRecon CT9Blitz Boost gauge (boost steady at 8psi)Greddy BOVHKS turbo timerThat's all the mods as far as I know and the car drives perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Surely so long as it's got an upgraded fpr and fuel pump it's fairly safe to run one of these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 if you are only running 8psi there is no need for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 So as long as I'm only running low boost it'll be fine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Or should I just buy the blitz access ecu that someone on here is selling? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Will be fine on the fcd along as the fueling has been checked the blitz ecu is good but if you can afford that id put a little extra and get it mapped properly on emanage blue or any other piggy back ecu.

JayJ Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 FCD - Fuel Cut Defender - removes stock ecu's fuel cut at 0.8bar - with this you can boost over stock limit, but your fuelling need to be checked also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 So after a bit more investigating and worrying about this fuel cut defender, can anybody confirm that this isn't a standard FPR? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 That on the ecu is a hks fcd. Will be wired into the live, ground and map sensor to intercept/modify the signal. Bottom picture is a fse fuel pressure regulator. Guessing at somepoint someone has used the fcd to remove fuelcut and up the boost, using the regulator to fuel enough. If you dont need the fcd remove it or turn it to setting 12 which is off. Or get it on A dyno to see if the engines fuelling correctly as the fcds lean it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 The problem is I don't know if I need the fcd or not, according to the boost gauge it's only boosting at 8psi but I'm really not sure because it seems like more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 To be honest bud leave it alone till you can get it on a rr to get it checked just don't kick the cars teeth in till then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I always take it easy I prefer the noise and the smell to the speed lol One last question, is this a standard actuator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Looks like hks actuator bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Oh good well from the outset it looks like a half decent setup, just want to get it on the rollers and see what's what and what power it's actually making And thanks for answering another question I should probably know already 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 No worries bud we are here to help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
