Is there a problem with having boost in the chamber and no fuel? is it the same effect as leaning out or is it safe, as most aftermarket computers seem to use this function.

Just wondering, as my car can spend a bit of time bouncing on the rev limiter and my EMS only has a fuel cut function.

Apparently yes fuel cut can cause leaning out whilst banging the limiter. My theory is that as you're basically switching on and off the injectors whilst the engine is still breathing all the air in. So for example some piston intake cycles may not get the right amount of fuel it needs as the injector might only be active half way thru the intake cycle. Kinda hard to explain my theory. Ignition cut IMO is alot better.

Turning the fuel totally off to a cylinder doesn’t not cause lean running in that cylinder. No fuel = no combustion, therefore there is no running for it to be lean. Remember we are talking maximum rpm here. In the unlikely event that there is any fuel left over from one cycle, it will be consumed in the nest cycle. One cycle of combustion of a miniscule amount of fuel will not damage anything.

:D cheers :(

Nah what I mean SK is if the fuel injector is switched off 3/4 the way through an intake cycle.. then... its lean for that cycle!

One cycle is not going to do anything.

Think about it, you snap off the throttle every gearchange.

The injector duty cycle goes to zero while you change gear

Until you get back on the throttle

What's the difference?

:rofl: cheers :ban:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
