Digital Fuel Adjuster, Jaycar


Recommended Posts

Anyone,

Could I please get your feedback on the Jaycar Fuel and air adjuster. I explored one of the threads that mentioned the jaycar system and it was intresting.

jaycar.com.au

go to

Kits and Modules and Auto and you will find it at the bottom of the page. You have to purchase the hand controller.

I would like to get feedback from anyone who has actually installed the Jaycar system in their skyline Turbo.

what I want to know, should I pay for a cheap alternative or go for the SAFCII or the E-Manage expensive allternative just to alter my fuel and air.

I appreciate your help

DFA will do the job quite nicely. search the stagea disscussion board for more info, Sydneykid is the one who created the thread and has a good wrap for them.

I have yet to tune mine but it was not to hard to install PM me for a wiring diagram for it and the iebc.

Panikin,

It would be really good if you can send me some photos and installation guide. I just want to make the right choice when buying the jaycar kit or I purchase the SAFCII. If i purchase the kit then i will get a bigger dump pipe and install it myself. I should gain some horse power.

I look forward to your reply.

Ive made mine and installed it, but havent tuned it yet.

It was all pretty easy, you just have to be careful.

Get the DFA and dont waste ur money on a SAFC for 3 times the price. It does exactly the same thing.

Emanage is a bit different because it has other bits you can add on eg. ignition timing.

All instructions and photos are in the Silicon Chip book Performance Electronics for Cars. Get the book and have a read, its all good.

Note that if you have an r32 you will have to get a r33 boost solendoid, which'll cost an extra few bucks ($40 maybe)

Every question you can think of has probably been answered in this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=61207

There are heaps of pictures and diagrams as well.

If you have one that hasn't been asked yet, please ask away in the above thread and I will try my best to answer it.

:( cheers :(

    • Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!
    • You're confusing two different responders and more than one issue. The stock Neo ECU boost sensor is used by the ECU for protection purposes. It is essentially only an overboost sensor. It is not used for determining engine load for fuelling or ignition purposes. That task falls solely to the AFM. Any aftermarket ECU that either has an onboard MAP sensor or a plug in one, will use the MAP sensor as the primary load sensor. Or I should perhaps say "can", rather than "will", because some of them have the option of using other primary load sensors. That MAP sensor is not for the same function as the stock Neo boost sensor. The reason I recommended against a plug and play ECU is that they are intended to run a particular engine and usually in the car that the particular engine came in. So, if you have a transplanted engine in a different car, with some parts of the original missing (such as the boost sensor, for example) and therefore likely non-standardness of the loom and its insertion into the car's loom, then it is very likely that you will run into the same problems with needing to fix up wiring to make it work that you would with the stock ECU. And, if doing so for the stock ECU is enough of an obstacle that you start considering a standalone plugin as a solution, it should become clear that the plugin is quite possibly not the solution you'd hope it to be. It would just lead to more of the same type of problem solving work to get it going. In the above paragraph and in my earlier post, the lack of the boost sensor is not critical. It was just used as an example of something that we knew you did not have right, such that the stock ECU would not work. I took that as an indicator of a reasonable probability that there were other related problems hiding there.
    • I can think of two places in my city of <1.5million population that specialise in automotive instrument repairs.Unless you're out in the wilds of Quebec, you have 3 major Canadian and 3 major US cities within the same distance as the single nearest city to mine. Surely there is somewhere you could send it.
    • I never cared for twins but whenever these conversations came up, I always presumed the higher number represented a larger turbo. Learn something new everyday. 
    • Interesting, I've never seen a failure like that before but with the age of these cars and the general questionable-ness of all kinds of parts these days you can't rule anything out I suppose. Boost leak testing the boost control system would've revealed this though.
