his last words to me was ill try and put more fuel in, in the morning,

has he had a booboo trying to do his cav?lol

[Rob]

no his cavs fine boosting well,hes been in scarborough at a car rally this weekend so no doubt he will online in an hour or 2 catching up lol

[Spudly]

Well i dont know how you lot have gotten 20psi as mine simply will not boost above 13psi, ive had the fuel screw up nearly two and a half turns and the bleed valve closed and it just fuel cuts like in the vid i showed you nick and bounces between 13-10psi, its happily holding 13 atm, and goes really well, nothing impressive but its noticably faster though, best £30 ive spent, apart from the £40 in fuel this weekend lol

[Jack]

You need an FCD

[Spudly]

Dowhatnow?

[Jon_nova1]

[General Baxter]

[Jon_nova1]

be f*cked if i know lol

[Spudly]

Anyone care to clarify what an FCD could possibly be?

[Jon_nova1]

google says

FCD- Fuel Cut Defender

well, it said alot of things, but fuel cut defender seemed the most suitable lol

[Spudly]

Hmmm, sounds promising as my boost stays up but my fuel says no, but the same setup on baxters sees 18psi, i are confuddled....?

FCD is a Fuel Cut Defender. Basically when the ECU registers overboost (which it will do when you've upped the boost), it panics and in an attempt to control it cuts the fuel (hence the name).

Not sure how violent it is on Vauxhalls but I know when I hit it on my GT4 as I have to peel my face off the windscreen lol

[General Baxter]

You need an FCD
no such thing on these engines theres no ecu, just a screw to do the fueling lol

[Jack]

LOL, ah. Is the wastegate just on a spring? In fact do they even HAVE a wastegate? lol

[Mike]

Prolly not jack lol

Nick, what charger was it you were talking to me about that might be worth trying? I forgot already lol

[General Baxter]

ihi one from a 1.5TD nova

[Spudly]

LOL, ah. Is the wastegate just on a spring? In fact do they even HAVE a wastegate? lol


Nope, upped my fuelling by two turns on the max fuel screw and knocked the tickover by letting out an m8 screw with a 10mil locknut lol

[Jack]

Balls to all this. If Ii want more boost, I want to just rotate a dial on an EBC lol

[Mike]

ihi one from a 1.5TD nova

Nice one :)

Jack, youll now have everyone asking what a EBC is lol lol

[Spudly]

at 13psi it wont be fast lol

[Spudly]

at 13psi it wont be fast lol


Notice the words, 'noticably faster' even if this is all i can get from mine its faster than it was so who cares:p

[Rob]

lol at baxter and did you do the white ring mod or dont you need to do that

[General Baxter]

nope not done that yet, ill do it when i change the inlet

[Andy]

So why when spudnik has the same setup as recommended by baxter is he only getting 13psi and others are getting considerably more.I ask as i have just purchased one and will be being silly aswell soon lol

[Mike]
