Default Turboxs fuel computer and wideband. NEW PICS

My new toys just came in. They are from Turboxs who just sponsored me on these four things. I got their new DTEC-FC (fuel computer) controlled by a Gameboy , which comes with their knock/shift light. I also got their map sensor , so the FC can use boost to gauge how much fuel to put out. Lhe last thing being the Tuner wideband O2 which will also data log. I just picked me up a red Gameboy Advance SP to use with it. The GB does the data logging. As well as display a number of gauges.



DTEC-FC retails for $375


MAP sensor for the DTEC retails for $119


Knock / programable shift light. Retails for $129


Tuner Wideband O2 retails for $399 This new version is about one quarter the size of the older radio size unit.

Default DTEC

I got 4 hp from the Cam-Con. Now if that was the VVT-i or the fuel I',m not sure. But when I was adjusting the Cam-Con and had it at -10 all the way from 1000 RPM to 4500 RPM. I had no room to play with. The VVT-i part is OK but the fuel side is lacking. I think in a NA situation it would be OK, but FI I was already to that point.

I have a little secret project in the works. For all you SC FI guys. It should be done by NOPI.

Default fuel computer

Well it's all in the xB now. This thing is great. I can adjust what RPM and what amount of PSI to adjust the fuel. I'll be hitting the dyno again to adjust it. I'll get some pics up of it installed. Only took about an hour to mount it all.

$1,020 for an engine management system is'nt that bad... but its still alot of money
TurboXS should sponsor me.

But seriously Did you get to the Dyno with the new setup?
I'm curious to see before and after power curve

I think I might hafta go this route for engine management...I like the idea of using the MAP sensor for fuel tuning...I think its time to sell the CAMCON

Default FC

You don't have to run their wideband. Its just nice that it ties together and you can log it with the DTEC-FC.
