havent installed it yet, maybe sometime this week? if anyone is free and wants to help that would be cool.....especially since i'm no good at electronics
why do u need a fuel cut defencer? and whats wrong with your fuel pump is it going bad? you really don't neet to upgrade it if your just going to boost below 10psi on the greddy kit. lol i haven't even upgraded it yet adn i'm running 10psi on my setup then again it doesn't hold at 10psi in all gears.
If anything I'd switch your fuel management to uberdata its pretty damn cheap. you could probably sell off the safc and buy all the stuff for uberdata and still have money left over. Then again is your car obdI or odbII? if odbI i highly recommend uberdata. I already have the burner so all u need to get is the chips and stuff. I think all the other is is probably $30 give or take $5. Then you can solder it yourself or let someone else do it .... like jon he did mine.
my car used to have problems. i couldnt really figure out what was wrong with it, sometimes it would just bog down and stuff, i'd have to shu the car off and turn i back on. im pretty sure its cuz my car would detect i had boost cuz i've read that thats what happens, it cuts the fuel going into the engine. the FCD is suppose to eliminate that by getting rid of the fue cut. i'm afraid that when i get the boost controller in and turn the boost up my car will really see i have boost and start acting like it did before so i was gonna get the FCD.
my car is OBDII, but i'm prety sure you can do conversions to OBDI. not sure what involoved but i gues i could research it a lil. i'm pretty interested in this now, anything that will make my car run better for cheaper sounds good to me.
When does the carstart to bog? is it during idle or in boost?
My car use to have crazy idle when i had the afc hack. I think it may just because you are using the 450cc DSM injectors. My care readily bog when it was in boost it only happened like 3 or 4 times when i had the afc hack. It could be the O2 sensor or something i don't know.
The afc hack is suppose to eliminate the detection of boost because it converts the voltage the ecu reads when in boost. So i don't think you really need the FCD. . Maybe you afc has lost connection some where. Have you checked all the connections? maybe we can take a look at it Saturday.
For OBDII to OBDI you may only need the harness for it i'm not too sure though. I'd definately recoomend uberdata over the afc hack.
sometimes at idle the car would just shut off, when it bogged down it was always like as soon as i started boosting. lately its been runnin a lot better. i think there might be a connection loose, cuz now the only time it ever shuts its self off is when there is someone riding in the passenger seat, but like i said it hasent done that lately.
anyway, we could check it out sometime and see i guess.
Yea kinda sounds like one of the connections is alittle loose. That happened on viet's car when he had the afc in. It was the rpm signal. Probably should have soldered them the first time.
jons camry did the fuel cut thing. What it did was when the boost reached a level it didnt understand it would cut the fuel, kinda like a rev limiter. but it would run like normal as soon as you let off.
I dont think it sounds like the same thing you're experiencing.
also your ecu is in the passenger footwell right? if so it definitely just sounds like a bad connection
so for me to do uberdata i'm gonna need the chips from moates.net, an OBDII-OBDI harness which i can get from jdm****.com, am i gonna need to get a p28 ecu or can i just use mine?
I think your going to need the p28. you should look into it more. i'm not really to sure on the obdII to obdI stuff. If i have time i'll try to dig up some information on it,
okay I asked my bro if you need anything special besides the ecu and a harness and he said that is all you need. I think it'll cost more then i thought it would cost u since you are obdii. I think its going to cost you around $200 - 300 for a p28 ecu and the harness. Its still a better EMS then the AFC hack. Its pretty much a stand alone.
cool. yeah thats what i was thiknin. the harness i can get for like $80. i cant find any p28s on any legit sites, i found a couple on ebay for like $100 but i'm gonna leave that as a last resort. i'd probably end up getting that money back anyway when i sell my gauges and safc and stuff.
anyway, if you guys still want to, what time do you think we could start tomorrow? im goin to the bank in the morning and i'll probably be back around 10 or 11 and i'm free til like 6. i could probably do it myself, but knowing my wiring skills it wouldnt last long.
me and viet are going over to st pete to work on that place so if you still want to put that thing in just give me a call. maybe we could even do it tomarrow
if u dont have any of our numbers min is 813-787-2256. i definately wanna see how that thing runs with the boost controller. plus we can finish painting your car flat black.
hey sorry guys. got kinda busy today. i get home from work around 6:30 or so, i'll give you guys a call and hopefully we can finally get together and get this crap done.
where did you get it? how much did it cost you? remeber you wanna get an extra 29c256 chip. So you can use one in the ecu an use the other so u can burn while tuning. then just swap the chips. I've got a burner so u can burn your maps onto the chip. just let me know when u need it.
got it from a guy on tamparacing for $100. can i get that chip from that moates.net place? hopefully i'll be able to get the rest of the stuff needed for uberdata this weekend so i could have it running by sunday night? we'll see.

you mean tomarrow?
thats pretty sweet that your getting uberdata. I think its some good stuff.
