This article presents a simple FCD circuit that can be built by anyone with moderate electronics assembly expertise. In addition, the article covers the reasons why an FCD is needed, why this FCD is superior to other FCD designs, and the theory of operation. By the time you are done reading this article, you will hopefully understand a little more about how your TII works,

and a little electronics as well. The FCD (acronym for Fuel Cut Defencer) is any device that prevents the stock ECU from cutting fuel to the rear rotor when the boost exceeds a preset boost level. This maximum safe boost level and behavior is coded into the firm ware in the engine management unit and can not be changed without reprogramming the ECU. The maximum allowed boost pressure is about 8. 6 psi. The way an FCD defeats the fuel cut is by lying to the ECU about what the boost pressure is. The FCD is placed betw1een the boost sensor and the ECU where it modifies the boost pressure signal by some amount so that as the boost pressure rises above the preset "safe limit", the ECU continues to see a signal that is below the limit. There are a couple of immediate consequences to this fooling around. As the boost rises, the ECU must increase the amount of fuel being delivered to the engine in order to maintain safe and efficient operation. As the FCD starts lying to the ECU, the ECU will begin to under-compensate for the rise in pressure leading to a gradual leaning of the air-fuel mixture. The amount of error increases as the boost rises. For relatively small errors, the only penalty is efficiency. As the error gets larger, however, detonation becomes likely, exacerbated by the high boost pressures and accompanying high intake charge temperatures. Detonation under these conditions will quickly kill an engine. So, before we...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
