Thought I'd share the current state of our testing on this signal booster thing that FIC has.
YouTube video link
I've been driving on and off with these injectors and the signal booster (Easy Tune) for a couple days. I'm definitely liking them. Idle is very smooth and the engine typically fires right up on the first try, just like you see in the video. I'm really, genuinely pleased with this setup.
However, that said, I do want to be clear on a few points.
First, this is still pretty early in our typical testing phase. I've only been playing around with these for a couple days. We usually spend weeks testing something before we really feel comfortable.
And this particular test was done with some beta code that allows the user to adjust deadtime per injector. I won't lie to you...this is not a fun process. If you thought dialing in one number was a pain, wait until you try four that always seem to be fighting against each other. We're still playing around with different dial-in approaches here. We'll post more when we know more.
And, finally, there are still some slightly goofy artifacts we don't quite understand. But these seem to be irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. The car idles, cruises and pulls great. But when I go doing things I don't normally do (like trying to idle at 2000 RPM), I was seeing some goofy numbers. I don't want to elaborate too much because my testing could be flawed for all I know. More testing will follow.
Anyway, enjoy the video. I can say I'm really enjoying the car in its current setup.
