it involves resistors.. the tC guys had the same problems (07+) that were all corrected with simple radio shack purchases :) look up AEM FIC in the tC forums on www.scionlife.com

Tamago, I was looking into the resistors mod but it looks like the problems this mod fixes is a random misfire between 3k-4k rpm... Not quite the problems we've read here about the FIC. I'm getting curious bout the FIC as I will be getting one soon... My idea is to try to install it on the NA car and see if i can get it to work... If I do... I can start thinking about the FI possibilities.... Would this be a good idea at all? Try the FIC first on the NA car? My logic is that if I can get it to work NA, it should also work with FI. cdydjded: Any updates on your progress? |

I had a misfire and a blinking CEL above 5000 rpm, and the car wouldn't idle for more than a few seconds before dying.

we tried 2" piping, that was too small, so we opened it up with some piping from a Subie (pretty sure), and that seemed to work pretty well, except for the problems.

...So the resistors mod could actually work to fix that misfire problem, but leaves the bad idle problem still to be address.
Well... will see how it goes. I will attempt to install the FIC on the car NA. If it works then I will be saving for some real power mods... Tamago, any inputs on how to get the FIC to work on my car will be highly appreciatted. |

most likely the bad idle came from an insufficient tune exacerbated by the odd MAF housing diameter. i had idle issues as well that i was able to tune out over a little bit of time.

Im 100% sure that Garms problem was the injectors that he had installed. Resisters are not needed. My problem was "installer" (me) hooked up some of the wires wrong the first time.

And why would the TC (320cc) injectors be a problem? What would you advise instead? The OE injectors should max out pretty quickly after 5psi of boost or so... Last edited by CASTREX; 07-12-2009 at 02:16 AM. |

You can only go +20% larger injectors without the ECU going crazy, its a common problem on newer cars

I thought the +/- 20% was the amount of variance that the stock ECU could handle... but with a FIC I was expecting to be able to handle even larger injectors. At least that's what AEM says... Didn't you ran TC injectors on th xA as well? I wonder if the TC injectors would be a good fit for the 2ZR-FE (1.8L) engine on a boosted application. I haven't been able to find what the CC rate is for the OE injectors on this engine so I can't tell what is the flow difference. |
