Big Supes Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 After following a guide, I later found out the wiring is different on my UK spec (load of warning lights). I can't seem to find a guide for a UK or US spec anywhere. Anyone have any links or know what goes where? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perpy1878 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm pretty sure you don't need fed on UK spec as mine ain't got one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I did wonder perpy as I never hit fuel cut after changing the exhaust and decat-ing. Have you increased the boost or are you running stock boost on a decat system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Ok, cheers for the info dudes. I'll keep it handy until I turn the boost up (just in case), but it'll more than likely go back to the supplier if not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Boost controller has just arrived so I guess it's time to fit it, turn the boost up and find out if the FCD is needed. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronttuk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have a UK spec which ive decatted and fitted a boost controller gredy profec 2 I think now when i floor it it pulls like a train untill top gear then it cuts out for a split second i get the red triangle and the ecu light come on for a couple of seconds then it cuts out a second time same as the first then it pulls through I thought this was because I have not yet fitted the THOR FCD , after reading this is there another problem and I dont need the FCD ive got new plugs new coil pack clips, now im confused !!

Big Supes Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sounds like you're hitting fuel cut which kinda confirms what I've been thinking. I reckon the UK spec is ok up to 1.1 bar of boost, but when you exceed that, it'll hit the fuel cut. I'm surprised there isn't a hard n fast conclusion on this to hand, tbh.

It needs one mate if you go over 1bar with a BC. I've rear it a while ago. It's only if you just remove the cats then its fine. Plus no harm in installing one anyways just make sure it's on the correct setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzy T Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm about to do a double decat and 3" straight through exhaust on my UK spec auto supra...Just bought a HKS FCD and now apparently I don't need one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 That's correct mate. You won't need it for the decat and exhaust. You only need it if you're going to exceed 1.1 bar of boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
