Hey Guys,

I have had some issues with my car as even any mild boost upgrade causes my car to hit its boost cut.

So I am going to install a HKS FCD to my 97 series 1 stagea. But i cant seem to find anywhere which model I need to use...

Can anyone help me with this?

I would also love it if anyone had the ECU pinout too!

Thanks for any help or info guys,

Ben.

HKS and NENGUN lists 3 types:

STD type pressure sensor supervision types

Type H hot wire type air flow meters

Type K3 Karmann type air flow meters

http://www.nengun.com/hks/fuel-cut-defencer

Stageas and Skylines, hot wire airflow meter, Type H.

Are these FCD's variable resistors to reduce the voltage of the AFM at high revs ? if so, sounds a little dangerous without dynotuning.

Sounds like there is a bigger problem if it is hitting boost cut so soon, possibly consider an APEXI AFC /dynotune to get your mixtures (and AFM voltages) right. My AFC reduces the AFM signal by around 12% at high revs which keeps me well clear of 'boost cut' as well as the extra hp through better air/fuel mixture.

Security tip: those with AFC Neo's, leaving your car unattended for a while, change your 'Air flow meter type' to 'Karmann' from 'hot wire', won't start or run.

Great! thanks for that Chook. and yes it will be tuned on a dyno, I also hav an SAFC II that i will be installing. I was unsure whether that would be sufficient by its self. With my R32 i would still have boost cut issues with the SAFC II installed....

yeah and you might still have with the stagea ecu it allows less margin than the r33 ones does. but for now just try the safc it is smarter than an FCD. If you still have trouble you will need to go full computer

Are the RB25 AFM's adjustable like on the RB30 (Aussie spec') ones? I think they have a series adjustable resistor or something.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
