HKS fuel cut Defender safe setting???

[gregep82]

I bought my starlet with a HKS FCD wired in already.... but with no fuelling support modifications, therefore my engine went bang when I boosted hard after two weeks of ownership.

Now, without removing the FCD? as I may want it in the future, is there a setting I can put it down to so that it doesnt actually stop fuel cut and is safe to drive round with it still installed? as if there isnt an fcd there? I'm guessing this would be the lowest number on the settings but I don't know so need advice


Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

you shouldnt really run a fcd until you have a rrfpr and an actuator it will just damage the engine!!! just unwire it mate and save your self money

im not sure on the settings on it but what mods does your car have? has it a standard actuator on it? if so check the pipes connected correctly with a standard car with only a fcd youve been very unlucky to pop it mate

^^ I know it'll damage the engine if im not using a rising rate fuel pressure reg. I found out this the hard way.

But as I've stated, I just want to know if there is a setting on there that could basically turn the fcd off?

If there isn't I'm going to take it off obviously.

Thanks

12.

setting 12? Would this act as if there was actually no FCD there? and it'd run as standard?

Really don't want to remove it to be honest, but if itll damage the engine then i'm going to have to

Thanks

Yes it's 12

mines on 8, but i dont hit fuel cut. would that have anything too do with a fpr? but dont have an uprated actuator.

Yup. Setting 12 leaves fuel cut at the standard point.

Well ofcourse you wouldn't be hitting fuel cut. Setting 8 would probably allow you to run 1-1.1Bar. What boost do you want to run?

 

[danb87]

well i want around .8 or .9 nuffin more.

is my settin of 8 not correct?

i have fpr, relocated filter, fdc, fmic.

cheers

just make sure shes fueling fine.
there no right or wrong. but the generally its between 8-9. i couldnt lower mine to 8 without fuel cutting so i had have it on 9.

Whats the FPR set to? If you want to run 0.8Bar you don't need a FPR or FCD really although you might get creep with a relocated air filter.

Take it to a dyno, tell them you want to run 0.9Bar and to check AFR's and see how its running.
