Can the HKS take over O2 correction, using the factory fuel target table (because FCon won't let you enter a target table), with either a wideband or narrowband feedback?

You can set target AFR's with the Fcon and use the wideband input/parameters for O2 correction.

Won't stop the too rich/lean CELs though as the ecu will still receive the signal and crack the sads (not that it will affect the Fcon tune).

Ryan, if the light bothers you that much, remove the bulb and just buy a Cipher cable to check for CELs periodically.

You want to see 'crack the shits' when he cuts the CEL signal wire. lol.

Take the bulb out and bypass it with a resistor. ;)

Because simply, its the best way for it to run in low load/idle areas of the map. Hot day, cold day, freezing - doesn't matter. Altitude - doesn't matter. It just corrects.

I would like to see what O2 functions the FCon has, and if they are useful. Thats all.

Meh, some scattered self tuning functions from what I have seen, not worth going down that route imo, it's mainly for dumb arse tuners to hack a tune out with before fine tuning from there.

Mine has bugger all dramas with different temps, as the tuner has set up the coolant temp and intake temp corrections fairly well. It is running a bit rich atm but that's due to me being a compulsive modifier, not the tune. ;)

Once set it shouldn't need o2 correction. I haven't run it for years.

You can do correction based on wideband in the fcon, might be worth trying just to see if it clears the code.

I don't see the issue Scotty. So you trust a 10 year old O2 sensor but not a brand new wideband?

And I thought F-Con was supposed to be the bees-knees with no CEL issues...(thought I read that somewhere a year ago).

I hope you get it where you are comfortable driving it around Ryan, CEL or not. Persistance is the key; and if you do find a good solution (with no CEL) you will be a forum hero ;) .

I wonder how close the O2 correction on the F-con would be to stock ECU correction? As in, would the ECU see something good/close enough?

I'll probably end up with the Cipher cable in the new year anyway, easier to sort out than a code reader and more versatile. I just don't want the light firing and masking another issue.

Target AFR seems to be useful, and easy to implement (which I think was what Scotty was talking about in a backhanded kind of way :P). Whether it'll replicate the stock ECU in the same kind of way I don't know, but I doubt it.

Yeah its pretty good Leon, more research to clear random codes is required, but other than that it's good. 8k rev limit is a bit high for my liking, but other than that it's got a fair bit of shove. Be interesting to see what it does on the dyno with Scotty's upgraded spring, holding 15PSI not 7...

I think you need to research more about o2 feedback.

The widebands play up constantly and require resetting, recal and the sensors require regular replacement. They are in no way reliable enough to use for auto afr targeting, unless you have some way of proving the sensor is accurate, like running twin sensors through some comparison circuit. It's not something a tuner would like to setup either. (hopefully you already know that from speaking to your tuner.)

The Fcon would try and hold a set AFR, as in 14.7 or whatever you target it to hold. The factory ecu wants to see 14 then 15.5, cycling every few seconds. They are in no way similar. Geddit?

Geddit. I still think there must be some way of looping the signal though...

In other news, actuator turned up today Scott, thanks! Will try and fit tonight.

Mmm it needs to go in to stop the boost spiking. Probably better to just put it in and drive it carefully than let the turbo spike to 20PSI for another couple of weeks. Especially when I'm on holidays and will be using it.

8K a bit high? (understatement much, lol). Is that an easy figure for your tuner to set?

I would think you'd have about 2,500 rpm of 'not a lot happening' with the standard turbo.

8k is the lowest rev limit on an Fcon V-Pro

:O Ok-doky then. I guess that's why it's called the 'Pro'.

Is 8K safe for an unopened VQ25? Or should I say, safe for an extended operating life?

I still hit the limiter thanks to the auto not shifting at wot, soft limit is set at 7k, hard limit is 7,600. I don't know what Cam is on about... possibly a hard cut backup?

mine shifts at 7200rpm consistantly dont hit the cut....... not sure what the cut is though might have to try that LOL

Installed the rear sway bar and raised the front by 75mm (thank god.. lol)

Ran out of time to do the front sway bar links, so I'll ask the shop to do whilst they push in the bushes tomorrow.

Got home late thanks to the wonderful folks at Adelaide Metro but still managed to remove the top half of the intake, jack the car up and onto jack stands, remove the front wheels so I can put the good ones back on and drain all the coolant out.

Hopefully I'll get home early tomorrow and get the radiator out. Think there should be more room for the thermostat once the radiator and clutch fan are out.

The coolant thermostat? It's just three bolts, no need to remove the radiator or fan.

With the o2 issue, I seem to remember Jaycar having a kit to combat this very problem. Perhaps you could look into it?

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
