I am building the FCD and need to know when putting it together do you solder resistors to all three terminals on the pot to the T1, T2, and T3? Or if its just from the one terminal on the pot to the T3 terminal?
Just follow his diagram closely.Mister2slow said:I am building the FCD and need to know when putting it together do you solder resistors to all three terminals on the pot to the T1, T2, and T3? Or if its just from the one terminal on the pot to the T3 terminal?
Have you actually read the instructions??? They are detailed and specific, and there are accompanying drawings and photos. And...there is only 1 fixed resistor.Mister2slow said:I am building the FCD and need to know when putting it together do you solder resistors to all three terminals on the pot to the T1, T2, and T3?

You could use ~15k ohm and get the same results.The 15 K ohm fixed resistor simply increases the resistance between the "hot" side of the circuit and ground, minimizing the amount of current (amperage) that can flow through the circuit, and minimize any voltage drop. The added resistor (actual cost-5 cents) is probably unneccesary, but is cheap insurance and doesn't interfere with the operation pf the BlackBox FCD.

I assume you mean 15K ohm! 15 ohm realy won't do any good.nuvoturbo said:For anyone building the Billwot FCD, I have aprox 20, 15 ohm resistors. If you send me a SASE, I'll send you one for free. E-mail me at [email protected] and I'll give you my address.

It only effects max boost pressure.AnDaLe said:does fuel cut occur if you are driving too fast? is there a limit to how fast the car can go without a fcd? i know it occurs for overboosting...just not speeding...
