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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
