Guest Jason1 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hi I have done a search but so much conflicting posts and so It seems like coming across a mines ecu isn't going to happen any time soon and so it seems I need a FCD, I have seen the HKS ones but it seems they aren't recommended and so what do you use and are they easy to setup Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason1 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What no one? Any info would be appreciated guys Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayfun.tugra Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ive got a HKS one and its worked fine for years. maybe the problems are just by setting it up incorrectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I had an HKS FCD fitted when my car was BPU and it worked faultlessly. I don't understand the bad press they've received to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 In my opinion you want one that doesn't try and copy the output from the map sensor like a lot of them seem to do. You need one that will allow the MAP signal get to the ecu totally untouched until a few mV before fcd and then clamp it at that voltage never allowing it to quite get to fuel cut level. I am pretty sure the HKS one messes about with the signal. I built a few when I first went TT, first with simple zener diodes and them a bit more elaborate using a second map sensor from a cossie that re-introduced FC at a higher level. But one of the best of the shelf devices I found was made by a guy pretty big in the Daihatsu world called Nathan Munns and he used to sell these on ebay. It was a simple 3 wire device that you just wired across your MAP sensor, either at the sensor or at the ecu end and had a multi turn pot. Really easy to fit and set up and well made and I am sure if you google him you could find him and see if he still makes them. He used to always have Daihatsu stuff for sale on ebay too so may be worth a search, they were much cheaper than the usual greddy and hks stuff.

Guest Jason1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks Guys I am currently looking at the turbosmart two, It seems good value and has a clamp and release and so I could just move the FCD up rather than do away with it altogether Any thoughts on these?

drew 007 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Cant help with the turbosmart one but when i was looking into FCD'S this page came in handy. I appreciate there not made anymore but they do come up for sale every now and then... http://mkiv.com/techarticles/bcc/why_bcc/Why_the_GReddy_BCC.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Cheers for that I have also seen them before and your right the don't come up for sale often I haven't seen one yet. The Turbosmart ones are around a ton so not to bad just need to do a bit more research first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew 007 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 No Worries buddy. They do come up for sale but only really if there breaking or going single...But a few come up for sale on the American supra forum. What ever you do, best of luck bud.

Guest Jason1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Cheers I will do some poking around on the net and see what I can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew 007 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 You'll find one on there dude!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Alternatively, save yourself some hassle and get a TRL VFCC, they aren't made anymore, but if you out up a wanted thread on here someone will have one. They were made by Thor Racing years ago and used to the the 'go to' fuel cut defender. There are guides around on here on how to fit them and diagrams of the wiring involved. Have a search for VFCC and see if it could be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason1 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks for that I have seen the vfcc but once again I think people hold on to them once they get them So I cant seem to find one any were Thanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
