depends which fcd you have.

if you have a greddy or a jam fcd, then the air signal voltage will always be clamped at just under fuel cut,

the safc alters this voltage so if the safc tells the ecu to fuel more, it wont cos the fcd is clamping the voltage.

so it would probably be better to run an rrfpr slightly rich and trim it down with the safc, also makes it safe that way incase the safc breaks.

it a similar story with the hks fcd also i beleive

i may be wrong, but seems logical to me

and the best thing to do would be dont run it round on boost

I know well SX pensioners are already over taken me an flippin the bird. Dont know the pass word unfortunetly. I'm not 100% sure if it is or not though I have a gauge with lean, stoich and rich on it and the minute I'm 0 on the boost gauge it goes to lean. I dont know if this gauge is accurate tough looks like an ebay job?Is there any other way I could find out?

if you dont know the password then i dont think you will be able to get it tuned, unless the tuner knows how to overide the password.

and you just said you have a hks fcd then that would be why your still running lean on and off boost.

the hks fcd leans out the whole rev range, but should technically be better for the safc

Thankfully for me the tuners are Apexi and can overide it by initializing it but they have to start from scratch again. So theres no othere other way of knowing? Cheers mate.

you are running lean the hks fcd is making sure of that.

if you turn the fcd to number 12 for now, it wont run lean as that will effectively turn the fcd off.

then just try and keep boost at standard boost

So set it to 12 and use standard boost I had a look at it there and its set at 6. I have only been using stanard boost since I got the new block so hopefully its still good.

yep.

setting 6 is leaning the engine out by loads.

as will 7,8,9.

10 and 11 prob wont lean it out much but if you can just run standard boost for now, put it to 12 and you can drive the car normally then
