fuel cut questions
Hi,
Last weekend I finally installed my straight pipe on my 88' t2. It has a ported wastegate on stock turbo, new engine with goopy seals. I installed a hks FCD and set it to "12", but i'm still hitting fuel cut whenever I approach 0.5bar of boost. Also the stock boost gauge is still functioning, I remember my buddy's t2 with fcd this stopped moving ? Any idea what could be the issue? I installed the fcd like the manual says. to be sure i measured wich wire gave the signal from the boost sensor with a multimeter. It's a used FCD out of my other buddy's impreza wrx. |
Do you have anything to support running more boost pressure? It is commonly known that the fuel cut is there essentially to remind you of the limitations of the stock fuel system...
Are you running a wideband to monitor the mixture? |
got a boost leak?

I'd fix the bolt first, then go through and check for vacuum/boost leaks. Also, sometimes those crappy worm clamps on the intercooler piping can still allow a boost leak, even when tight. Might check those out too while you're at it.

yup, but if you aren't getting the right mix in the engine, its going to fight you either way. I'd hook up a better boost gauge and get an accurate measurement.

Fuel cut is quite violent. It's like the engine abruptly hits a wall.. definitely throws you forward in your seat and the engine sounds like it's got a Jake break.
I'd do away with the fcd and get a standalone or find an appropriate rtek.. preferably a 2.1. I also agree you need a proper boost gauge... and some way to be able to log the afrs. What's your afr when this happens? |
