Minimum Sensors req'd on FD (non-seq)

I was wondering what are the minimum sensors needed to run the power FC on an FD. I am not talking just to idle the car but number needed for everday running of the car.

Thanks

With the PFC:

*air intake thermosensor
*water temp thermosensor
*throttle position sensor
*pressure sensor (MAP sensor)

I think that is all that is required. Other sensors are not required but are desirable, such as knock sensor and fuel temp thermosensor.

How many sensors does the PFC try to pull from in Non-Sequential mode. Sorry for all the questions just trying to understand the sensor side of what's needed.
Thanks

Your questions have been answered, you can get rid of the rest not mentioned already.

Are you asking about solenoids? or sensors? You really don't need much connected depending on what you are doing. If you use the PFC to control boost, you need to keep the one solenoid connected that controls the wg/boost.

I am not talking what sensors have to be there to run the car. I want to know what sensor the PFC will try and pull data from to help run the car while in non-sequential mode. Sorry if I was not clear.

WE ALREADY ANSWERED THAT QUESTION.

You need to sit down and read through the PFC manual (again?) so that you understand it. Then you will know how it works and what it needs to see.

What does the PFC manipulate with the fuel temp readings?

The fuel temp sensor seems to add fuel if fuel heats up; adding a tiny extra bit. It is an unnecessary sensor according to the Wargasm document.

Fuel temp sensor adds 1-2% addl fuel when the fuel is hot as hell. Not needed. Most if not at that run 1600's with an aftermarket rail don't use the fuel temp sensor, I personally changed all the temp corrections to unity and ran without the sensor when using 1600 secondaries and an aftermarket rail.
