how do you set this up? i want to run as much boost as poss i'm just looking as to how i'm ment to set it up (94 import)

Fuzz

with det cans and a lambda meter is the only safe way.
Wouldn't go over 1.1 bar though

I wouldn't set the FCD much past 10 which is the recommended number, otherwise you will be shelling out for a new engine.

i have a air/fuel gauge and i have been looking for a knock link i have uprated injectors and fse pressure reg sti v4 intercooler i'm in the prosses of getting a apexi ecu but for the time being i'm wanting as much boost as possibale as i'm trying to get even bigger injectors and fmic before i go to get the apexi ecu mapped so all this might take a few months, i'm going to the rolling road at the weekend ans just wanted to give the guys there a head start with setting this up, could you tell me what the boost limit is raised to on setting 10 and what number will 17/18psi be thanks guys

The fuel cut defender doesn't adjust the boost pressure. The boost control solenoid does that.
All the FCD is, is a device which allows you to to raise the "safety limit",
namely when it cuts the fuel supply to the engine by switching off the injectors.

yes i undeer stand this its basicly a resister between the maf and ecu i'm not running a electronic boost controller i was enquiring as to what number lifts the saeftey limit to which boost if that makes sens? 1 asume 12 is standered (around 15psi i think) then 11 is what?16psi? and so on or have i been misled somewhere along the line?

crazybri

have you got a boost guage?

easiest way will be to turn your boost up to say 18psi..... i am also assuming you have a MBC or some electronic controller and most likely you will hit fuel cut.... this is now when you would want to adjust your fcd until you can reach 18psi without hittin fuel cut.

I really dont really like your methods to be honest tho, i can sense a blown up car on the cards. i'd just wait for you PFC and get it mapped properly.

got it at nuber 8 and running 18psi it appears to be running fine on the air to fuel guage and feeling ok but i'm getting it set up on the rr on sat but thanks for the input
