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:

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
