Fulcrum2000 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi All SLowly but surely getting my BPU stuff together for the big install and received y HKS FCD today, what am I setting this at for the 1.2 bar of JDM BPU? Probably a stupid quesiton but just thought I would ask people who know infinitely more than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The HKS FCD is probably the worse one you can fit mate, I wouldn't fit one, have a read here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?343619-Top-quality-fuel-cut-defenders-(FCD-s)-for-sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulcrum2000 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Do you have one fitted on yours Mk4Gaz and any issues if so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13mgr Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I had one fitted to mine on setting 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Do you have one fitted on yours Mk4Gaz and any issues if so? No mate, I bought one but realised I had a mines ecu, so didn't need it. I'm now running stand alone, so still don't need one! Some people have had issues with them, and others have had no problems. I think they work by bending the map sensor signal, to tell the ecu you're running less boost than you actually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 You need to careful with your settings on the HKS FCD, especially when targeting a higher boost level like 1.2 bar. I've seen a few people adjust fuel cut limit without monitoring Air-Fuel ratio not knowing that with the HKS unit the more you increase the fuel cut limit the leaner it will make your engine run. Leaner fuel ratio will make the car feel faster which feels good, but you could be doing damage in the long run. Toyota ECU does run stock quite rich from factory so there is some room to play with with leaning out the fuel a bit, but without monitoring the change you have no idea if you are doing so safely. Considering every engine & setup runs slightly different, I'd advise trying to get some sort of temporary AFR monitoring setup whilst dialing in your HKS FCD, before blindly following settings posted on a forum. Just to be on the safe side. I believe FCD from CW does not suffer from this side affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum2000 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks guys I decided not to risk I and just bought one from Chris Wilson. I went for the HKS because its the one in the BPU 'kits' and had high praise on here at the time I looked but I dont think there's any point in skimping when I've already spent so much on BPU bits. I'll get an AFR gauge anyway as they make sense and are dirt cheap what kind of readouts should I be seeing at 1.2 boost on one of these to ensure the setup is not causing damage?

With your AFR gauge you under boost you want your air fuel ratio to be sitting at around 11.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
