Dear installer,
in thanking you for choosing
BRC we wish to give you full infor-
mati on on SEQUENT, the
gaseous LPG or CNG multipoint
sequential injection system. It is a
highly advanced injection system,
result of the experience and conti-
nuos BRC S research i n the
gaseous injection field, that can be
installed on vehicles with
sequential multipoint petrol injec-
tion. Thanks to its high level of inte-
grati on, SEQUENT can assure
higher performances without giving
up simplicity of assembly.
Thanks to the high integration of
the system, SEQUENT can assure
higher performances without com-
promising the simplicity of the instal-
lation. Indeed inside the ECU there
are several functions which allow, in
most cases, avoiding fastidious and
cumbersome devices that, by this
ti me, each i nstal l er i s used to
assemble, as Modular, electronic
timing advance processor, crank-
shaft sensor adapter, Memory, etc.
From the functional and perfor-
mance point of view SEQUENT has
the same basic characteristics of all
BRC injection systems as a reduce
power loss, no mixer, very small
reducer, no backfire risk but also
adds some new impor tant ones
such as:
Sequential Injection obtained
by using an electronic injector in
each cylinder;
High precision for gas dosage
thanks to very precise injectors;
Auto-di agnosi s on ECU
inlet/outlet;
Protection against short-circuits
of the ECU inlet/outlet;
Communication on K line and
on CAN bus;
Differences compared to other
systems are not only these ones:
some conventions you were used to
have been radically changed. For
this reason please read carefully the
installation guides even if you are a
very skilful technician in gas injec-
tion systems.
To convert a vehicle, the installer
will have to use a basic kit and a
standard one. Then he will have to
buy a two-position built-inn change-
over switch, place the components
inside the engine compartment as
indicated in this guide and personal-
ly realise the fixing brackets.

SEQUENT represents the most
advanced level of evolution for what
concerns the equi pment of gas
injection, and it can be defined to
all intents and purposes as a
COMMON RAIL system.
In fact it first introduces, in the
gas propelled field, the winning
evolution used for modern Diesel
engines: a rail-line in pressure
(rail) that supplies fuel to all injec-
tors (true injectors) that are assi-
gned to inject it in each cylinder of
the engine.
SEQUENT in addition introdu-
ces the concept of modularity of the
harness. This operation consists in
the possi bi l i ty to i nstal l the
SEQUENT equipment on the vehi-
cle through the connection of only
three electrical wires and to add
further electrical connections only
and exclusively in case of particu-
larly sophisticated vehicles.
In the SEQUENT system, unlike
an i nj ecti on at conti nuos fl ow
(stream), the ECU calculates the
openi ng ti mes of the i nj ectors,
cylinder per cylinder, and it acts
them separately on each gas injec-
tor with the highest precision and
with the best timing if compared
wi th the openi ng i nstant of the
intake valve. The sequential injec-
tion control allows consequently
obtaining the top timeliness and
precision of the fuel dosage.
As per all electronic injection
systems, a mixer does not aspirate
the gaseous fuel, but the correct
quantity is determined through the
calculations made by the ECU. It
allows obtaining the well known
advantages of the i nj ecti on
systems, such as:
No di sadvantages i n the
performances on petrol, caused
by the absence of a mixer,
Maximum performances on
gas, typi cal of the i nj ecti on
systems,
No additional overall dimen-
sions on the intake pipes,
El i mi nati on of the backfi re
risks, due to the injection near
the intake valves and increased
by the fact that injection is in a
timed way with the opening of
the intake valve.
The result is that the original
sequential injection operation of the
vehicle, the engine had been stu-
died, built and optimised for, is
absolutely unchanged, with the fol-
lowing practical results:
Better driving fluidity,
Consumption optimisation,
Reduction of polluting
exhaust emissions.
Other advantages of the system,
which are typical of the in series
working type and therefore already
known by the BRC installers, are
the following:
There is no need of any speci-
fic emulation for the injectors.
Thi s i s usual l y made by the
same ECU,
It is normally not necessary to
delete the error codes in the
petrol ECU, because they do not
appear anymore,
it is not necessary anymore to
install the Memory devices on
those vehicles provided by OBD
diagnosis,
all the petrol ECU functions
remain perfectly efficient even
while running on gas, assuring
the respect of the OBD regula-
tions,
no par ticular adjustment is
needed, if the configuration is
available.
In addition, thanks to the strong
integration of the ECU:
In several cases i t i s not
necessary to install any outside
devices of emulation and inter-
rupti on of the i nj ectors, as
Modular LD are integrated in the
system harness.
Possibility of reading the
rpm from the crankshaft sen-
sor without need of external
adapters.
The ECU is provided with an
internal timing advanced pro-
cessor, suitable for most vehi-
cles,
It is possible to connect two
Lambda Sensors without need
of adapters,
The ECU contains the main
adapters for UEGO and in
need of power supply sensors,
Possibility of converting
vehicles up to 8 cylinders in
the two-connector ECU version.
2. WHY
CHOOSING
SEQUENT

3.1 STRUCTURE
The evol uti on of SEQUENT
system allows introducing new and
more sophisticated components
trying to obtain higher performance.
The system can be used with
different configurations and diffe-
rent components (LPG Geni us,
CNG Genius. M, LPG MAX Genius,
the new Zenith Reducer, BRC or
Keihin rail, etc.) - Table 1 page 7.
Thi s gui de and the Types of
Installation 2/3 one has the aim to
teach the technician the correct and
di fferent use of Sequent and
Sequent Fastness systems.
The SEQUENT systems, star-
ting from the gas tank to the redu-
cer included, utilise components,
which are already well known by
the BRC installers. The pressure
reducer, in particular, will be the
GENIUS SEQUENT. It is the same
little-sized reducer of simple instal-
l ati on al ready i nstal l ed on the
Flying Injection, with the difference
that it will be provided with brass
water elbows and a new temperatu-
re sensor, which is not compatible
with the Flying Injection one. The
differences if compared to the pre-
vious conception equipment start
with the rail, connected through the
proper pi pe to the GENIUS
SEQUENT outlet, which connects
the gas injectors, supplying them
heated and vaporised gas. A pres-
sure sensor, that measures the
absolute gas pressure and supplies
injectors, is connected to the rail. If
it is possible to say that the ECU is
the brain of the system, the injec-
tors represent its heart. They are
electro-injectors, whose working
principle is quite similar to the one
of the petrol injectors, but they differ
from these last ones for:
Larger passage sections, sui-
table for the gaseous fuel,
Lower electric impedance, to
have quick opening times,
Peak & hold electric piloting,
to have small piloting currents
without disadvantaging perfor-
mances.
At every injector outlet, the gas
is directly introduced, through pro-
per pipes, in the air-intake manifold,
downstream the throttle valve.
The changeover swi tch wi th
level gauge is of the two-position
type, with buzzer. It allows carrying
out the changeover functions from
the petrol-gas and gas-petrol ope-
rations, indicating the gas quantity
present in the tank and moreover
displaying some diagnostic signals
in case of malfunction, lack of fuel,
not correct programming, etc.
Not l east, there i s the ver y
powerful, extremely rugged, com-
pletely waterproof FLY SF ECU,
complying with the EMC regula-
tions, realised with electronic speci-
fic components for automotive use,
which allow to install it even in the
engine compartment. The ECU col-
lects and elaborates full information
and checks completely the various
system functions; in particular the
i nj ectors, managi ng the i nstant
when the injection happens and its
duration with the precision of few
mi croseconds (mi crosecond =
1/1000000 of second).
The ECU had been studied to
bear shor t-ci rcui ts of unl i mi ted
duration on each of its inlet/outlet
wires, both towards the ground and
towards the battery positive. It had
been subjected to stringent tests in
order to verify its compliance with
the regulations in the automotive
field.
The SEQUENT system commu-
nicates with the outside through a
computer, by means of which, with
a valid and powerful interface pro-
gram, it is possible to transfer any
information to the ECU, program
itself, calibrate the system, verify
the correct operation, read and
delete the possible error codes
memorised and have information
about the installation and about the
memory contents of the ECU. The
interface on the computer is the-
refore the instrument by means of
which the installer interacts with the
whole SEQUENT system and by
means of which he could shape
the gas equipment to fit it to the
vehicle in the different driving con-
ditions.
The tidy collection of all files
related to the different installations
made may constitute a very useful
proper historic archive, both to keep
under control the evol uti ons of
equipment in the time, and to con-
sti tute a star ti ng poi nt for new
installations.
The guide 3/3 has been entirely
dedicated to the interface program
on computer.
NEW
The new sequential gaseous
i nj ecti on FASTNESS versi on
comes from Sequent experience
and is for CNG only.
Based on the SEQUENT conso-
lidated structure, it has new innova-
tions coming from BRC experience
and recent experimentation with the
aim to make the system stronger,
easy to install and able to solve
even the most difficult problems.
The innovation and changes will
be deeply described in the following
paragraphs of the present guide:
- System components (reducers,
sensors, etc.)
- Software and engine control
(new strategies).
Both components and software
have been studied to obtain the
3. UNDERSTANDING
SEQUENT AND
SEQUENT FASTNESS

easiest operation.
3.2 WORKING PRINCIPLE
SEQUENT is a system that is
placed in series with the petrol
system. While running on gas, the
petrol ECU still determinates the
fuel quantity to supply the engine.
SEQUENT is a passive system or
slave, SEQUENT works as an
interpreter between the petrol
system and the gaseous fuel con-
trol . The operati on of the
SEQUENT system is based on the
fact that the Fly SF ECU is connec-
ted to the petrol ECU terminal/s
piloting injectors (picture 1).
It recognises this way the petrol
injection time (Ti). (While running
on gas, the injectors signal will be
recognised due to the presence of
the injectors integrated emulation
inside the ECU).
Due to the Ti and the engine
rpm signal, the Fly SF ECU calcu-
lates the petrol flow that the original
ECU tends to supply to the engine,
then converts it into gas flow and
realises it piloting opportunely the
gas injectors. This choice is of the
utmost importance, because the
fact of enabling the petrol ECU to
be constantly working and piloting
the gas dosage, allows carrying out
clearly and transparently functions
such as stoichiometric control, enri-
chment in full load and cut-off fol-
lowing the criterions expected by
the manufacturer, the restriction of
the peak rpm, the coherent control
of petrol vapours, the correct com-
munication with the air conditioner
equipment, etc. All this without the
possibility that some counterfeit
error codes could appear. For what
concerns the petrol equipment,
everything remains unchanged,
that i s why any error message,
while running on petrol or on gas,
has to be consi dered real and
believable. Furthermore, if the vehi-
cle shows some problems in the
petrol operations, they will be main-
tained in the gas operation too. It is
absolutely necessary when you
want to comply with the more and
more stringer OBD anti-pollution
regulations, even in the gas opera-
tion.
The low impedance gas injec-
tors are controlled in the peak &
hold mode (see paragraph 4.12),
keeping in mind the physical gas
parameters (temperature and abso-
lute pressure) read by the Fly SF
ECU in real time (picture 2).
It is important to underline how
the Ti is a precise and precious
parameter, bei ng the resul t of
sophisticated calculating elabora-
tion carried out by the petrol ECU
on the basis of a complete and spe-
cific system of sensors.
Due to the fact that the tempera-
ture and pressure conditions can
change depending on the condi-
ti ons of use of the vehi cl e, the
system has temperature sensors
and suitable absolute pressure sen-
sors placed on the gaseous supply
of the i nj ectors and on the ai r-
intake manifolds. The Fly SF ECU
can thus adjust in real time its cal-
culus and, above all, can correctly
operate even in the presence of

Problem:
If we know the gas flow we want to

and gas pressure, compute the Ti

strong drift of aforesaid parameters.
The SEQUENT reducers
(GENIUS, GENIUS.M GENIUS
MAX or ZENITH) tend to keep prac-
ti cal l y constant a di fferenti al of
pressure between the gas outlet
pressure and the ai r-i ntake
manifold, exactly how it happens in
many petrol systems. This helps
optimising the system working, but
it is not an indispensable fact, as
the control electronics is quicker
than the pressure steady state. For
example, due to a sudden accelera-
tion, the pressure in the reducer
increases in a fraction of second. In
this lapse of time, the ECU carries
out several cycles of calculus and
obviously compensates every delay
of mechanical cause.
Another important aspect of the
SEQUENT system is the gas injec-
tor. As i t wi l l be subsequentl y
described, they are low impedance
fuel injectors with large passage
sections, able to obey, in a very
quick way and with great repetitive-
ness, to the controls by the Fly SF
ECU, enabling to supply even big
engines.
The Fly SF ECU, in addition to
the general program of the system
working, has to contain the specific
data for every vehicle (it is about a
pretty complex whole of configura-
tions and other calibration parame-
ters). The calibration details can
come from an archive that BRC will
leave at your disposal, or they can
be obtained directly from the instal-
ler through a proper self-calibration
process, driven step to step by the
PC program. The personal compu-
ter works al so as a di agnosti c
i nstrument to veri fy the good
working of the system or to spot
any possible anomalies. Inside the
ECU there is also a powerful self-
organising software that, perceiving
any possible changes in the vehicle
operation, is able to rectify them
automati cal l y and wi thout any
Picture 03
Two-position
changeover switch
with buzzer and
support
external help.
3.3 CHANGE-OVER
FUNCTION
The changeover switch (picture
3) has two positions, which allow
the petrol operation and the petrol
starting with automatic changeover
to gas.
The latter one is to be used
for the normal gas opera-
tion.
3.3.1 PETROL OPERATION
In this position, the two-colour
LED turns red, the petrol injectors
are working, while the gas ones are
closed, likewise the gas solenoid
valves and the spark advances go
back to default values. The vehicle
regularly runs on petrol, as if the
system were not present (normal
petrol operation).
3.3.2 GAS OPERATION
In thi s posi ti on, the vehi cl e
starts up on petrol, then, as soon
as the temperature conditions of
the reducer and the working condi-
tions of the engine (rpm, manifold
pressure, etc.) programmed are
achieved, it changes over automati-
cally on gas.
Whi l e the engi ne works on
petrol, the two-colour LED turns
red; during the changeover phase
from petrol to gas the LED turns
orange for an i nstant (red and
green at the same time); last, when
the changeover phase is over, the
LED turns green and the engine
works on gas (gas normal opera-
tion).
In case of accidental engine
shutdown, the ECU re-changes
automatically to petrol, independen-
tly of the position of the changeover
button, and the two-colour LED
turns red (this function is also cal-
l ed Safety). Such a functi on
moreover prevents the on-off gas
solenoid valves from being energi-
sed for a peri od l onger than 5
seconds after the engine stop.
During gas operation, the ECU
cuts off and emulates injectors, the
gas solenoid valves are open and
the gas injectors are controlled
depending on the fuel demand and
time calculated by the ECU.
3.3.3 FUEL GAUGE: LPG OPE-
RATION
The changeover has moreover
the function of fuel gauge through
the four green LEDs. To know how
much LPG is contained in the tank
it is sufficient to see how many
LEDs are turned on. Four LEDs tur-
ned on indicate the full filling of the
tank (80% of the total tank capa-
city), three LEDs on indicate the 3/4
of the total filling, two LEDs on
mean hal f tank, one LED on
mean1/4 of tank.
The indication of fuel stock is
12
obtained through the first LED fla-
shing and is purely indicative. The
correct signal is obtained when the
vehicle is on a level surface and
after a few seconds from the star-
ting, even if the indication is imme-
diately present. It is recommended
to use the partial trip odometer
to control the fuel distance. Four
green LEDs flashing mean that
there could be an excessive quan-
tity of LPG in the tank. In this case
it is suggested to run few kilometres
until the flashing ends.
3.3.4 FUEL GAUGE:
CNG OPERATION
To know how much CNG is con-
tained in the cylinders it is neces-
sary to connect the level sensor
connector to the BRC manometer
equipped with a pressure sensor.
Four green LEDs lit indicate the
maximum pressure inside the cylin-
ders; the gradual turning off of leds
corresponds to lower pressures
inside the cylinders. As per the LPG
version, also in this case the indica-
tion of the fuel stock is obtained
through the first LED flashing and is
purely indicative.
It is recommended to use the
partial trip odometer to control the
fuel distance.
Precautions must be taken
to ensure that the petrol
tank is never allowed to become
empty.
It is necessary to maintain a
petrol quantity corresponding to
1/4 or 1/2 of the tank at all times
and to renew it periodically both

4.1 SEQUENT GENIUS
REDUCER (LPG VERSION)
In the LPG versi on, the
SEQUENT GENIUS reducer (pictu-
re 1) only consists of one stage,
with a variable outlet pressure,
which stands approx. 1,2 bar higher
than the air-intake manifold pressu-
re. Inside the SEQUENT GENIUS
room the LPG evaporation takes
place due to the heat exchange
with the engine coolant liquid, as in
a common reducer. The gas outlet
pressure is controlled by a spring-
diaphragm-shutter system, equip-
ped with proper vibration-damping
systems.
You should observe that (picture
2), a room opens onto the surface
of the diaphragm opposite to the
11\one on which the gas pressure
acts. This room is connected to the
air-intake manifold through a pipe.
The gas outlet pressure is therefore
not constant, but follows the intake
mani fol d pressure course. For
example, in idling conditions, the
manifold pressure if compared with
the ambient could be - 0,6 bar and
the reducer outlet pressure could
be + 0,6 bar.
On the other hand, with a com-
plete acceleration, the manifold
pressure wi l l be around 0 bar
(atmospheric pressure) and the gas
pressure around +1 bar. Despite
the particular compact dimensions,
the reducer guarantees high gas
flows, to satisfy powers up to 140
kW (190 CV). As it only consists of
one stage, it does not need any
draining operations. There is a tem-
perature sensor (picture 3) near the
gas outlet hole which gives full
requisite information to the Fly SF
ECU for a correct flow control. The
petrol-gas changeover is also affec-
ted by temperature, to avoid the
passage of not completely vapori-
sed LPG.

4.2 SEQUENT GENIUS MAX
REDUCER (LPG VERSION)
Genius Max reducer has been
studied and studied for being instal-
led on motor vehicles with elevated
powers motor and for LPG applica-
tions. The outer aspect of the redu-
cer is different from the Genius
Sequent one, while the working
principles are similar.
The reducer is constituted from
a single stage with a variable outlet
pressure that is maintained approxi-
mately 1.2 bar more than the pres-
sure of the induction manifold. The
status change of the LPG is obtai-
ned through a system shutter-lever-
spring-diaphragm.
The reducer also contains a cir-
cuit where the engine cooling liquid
al l ows the ther mal exchange
necessary to make the LPG com-
pletely gaseous. A temperature
sensor is on the reducer, too.
This allows the ECU to acquire
the necessary information on Gas
conditions for a correct dosing.

bed in the Types of installation - 2/3

4.3 SEQUENT GENIUS.M
REDUCER (CNG VERSION)
In the CNG version the reducer,
called SEQUENT GENIUS.M (pic-
ture 7), consists of two reduction
stages, which have the following
operations:
- to face every CNG pressure
level coming from the tank (load
pressure around 22 MPa corre-
sponding to 220 bar),
- to spread the CNG at the inter-
mediate pressure, of 500 - 600 kPa
(5 - 6 bar) in a first stage,
- to bring the heat necessary to
avoid an excessive cooling of fuel
due to a sudden expansion,
- to spread the CNG further on
at the requested pressure, of 200
kPa (2 bar), useful to supply the
injection system. Such a value of
outlet pressure is conditioned by
the pressure signal of the air intake
manifold: in practice, the differential
pressure is kept constant between
the CNG pipe at the outlet of the
reducer and the air-intake manifold.
As can be seen from picture 8,
the second stage of the SEQUENT
GENIUS.M CNG reducer is very
similar to the first and only stage of
the SEQUENT GENIUS LPG redu-
cer version.
Despite the particular compact
dimensions, the reducer guaran-
tees high gas flows, in order to sati-
sfy powers up to 140 kW (190CV).
4.4 ZENITH REDUCER
(CNG VERSION)
This is the new reducer for CNG
i nstal l ati on and for Sequent
Fastness system onl y and has
important innovation and improve-
ment.
The reducer consi sts of two
reduction stages with the following
aim:
- to face every CNG pressure
level coming from the tank (load
pressure around 22 MPa corre-
sponding to 220 bar),
- to spread the CNG at the inter-
mediate pressure, of 500 - 600 kPa
(5 - 6 bar) in a first stage,
- to bring the heat necessary to
avoid an excessive cooling of fuel
due to a sudden expansion,
- to spread the CNG further on
at the requested pressure, of 200
kPa (2 bar), useful to supply the
injection system. Such a value of
outlet pressure is conditioned by
the pressure signal of the air intake
manifold: in practice, the differential

pressure is kept constant between
the CNG pipe at the outlet of the
reducer and the air-intake manifold.
In spite of the compact dimen-
sions, the reducer assures high gas
flow able to satisfy engine up to 230
kW.
Zenith pressure reducer is sup-
plied with a Delta p (p) adjustment
equal to about 2000 mbar.
If necessary, this value can be
changed between 1600 and 2500
mbar by the technician by acting on
the suitable screw.
Among the improvements we
point out:
- Swivel-connection with integra-
ted high efficiency filter (*).
- 1
st
reduction stage with lever.
- Safety valve on the 1
st
stage.
- 2
nd
stage reduction with direct
and desmodromic connection.
- Water circuit built inside the
aluminium body (no washers).
- Temperature water sensor pla-
ced on the reducer (no need to
adjust it) - picture 12.
- Fixing thanks to two M6 holes.
- Pressure compensati on
system adjusted according to the
flow.
- Connection on the outlet to the
12x19 pipe rubber holder.
Advantages are the following:
more precise and stable adjust-
ment, faster response time, possibi-
lity to feed more powerful vehicles
(wi th equal i nj ectors and basi c
Delta P adjustment).
As for its installation and the
indications for the power, please
refer to Sequent 2/3 TYPES OF
INSTALLATIONS guide.

excl udes the use of the fi l ters
described in paragraphs 4.7, 4.8
and 4.9.

the gaseous phase. This fact really
differs it from the filter present in
the ET98 solenoid valve, which
works on the liquid. The filtration of
the gaseous phase allows trapping
all those impurities (oils, waxes,
etc) on which it would not possi-
ble to act only filtrating the liquid

Its constructive solution allows
screwing the filtering cartridge on a
support and therefore a smooth

4.5 GAS TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
As mentioned in the previous
paragraphs, a temperature sensor
i s i nstal l ed on LPG and CNG
GENIUS and GENIUS MAX redu-
cers. The sensor (picture 3,6 and 9)
is resistive, with two wires, based
on NTC thermistore.
All the gas changeover strate-
gies of the system as well as the
calculus of the gas injection times
are based on the temperature mea-
sured by the sensor.
The sensor is different from the
one used in the Flying Injection
equipment. Confusing the two sen-
sors and installing the wrong one,
the ECU will not be able to determi-
ne the correct gas temperature, to
carry out correctly the programmed
changeover strategies and to make
the correcti ons i n the i nj ecti on
times that depend on gas tempera-
ture, during gas operation.
4.6 WATER TEMPERATURE
SENSOR (FOR ZENITH
REDUCERS)
The temperature sensor shown in
picture 12 is used exclusively on
the new ZENITH reducer.
This is a resistive sensor, with three
wires based on a NTC thermistore.
All strategies for the system chan-
geover to gas are based on the
water temperature taking.
This sensor differs from previous
one for the mechanical structure: it
is more compact and integrates the
sensor and connector in its inside.
4.7 FJ1 FILTER

4.9 FJ1 HE FILTER (HIGH
EFFICIENCY)
Exclusively used with CNG and
LPG Sequent System with Keihin
injectors. FJ1 HE is a very small
cartridge filter. In spite of this, the
filter has in its inside a cartridge
that has been studied with innovati-
ve filtering elements allowing it to
have an higher filtering power com-
pared to the ones used till now (pic-
ture 15).
4.10 RAIL
It is the part where the injectors
are assembled on; it enables the gas
distribution to every injector at the
requested pressure.
Available in the following ver-
sions:
- for BRC injectors - gas outlet with
threaded union (picture 16) or with
rubber holder one (picture 17),
- for BRC injectors - gas outlet with
rubber holder union and gas tempe-
rature and pressure sensor inside
the rail body. This version is exclu-
sively used for Sequent Fastness
(picture 18).
- for Keihin injectors - gas outlet with
threaded connection (picture 19) or
with rubber holder one (picture 20).
The first and third rail described
have a threaded connection for the
pipe direct to P1 pressure sensor
while the second (for application
with Zenith reducer) is without and
has a tap to close the hole.
Two threaded holes allow an easy
installation of the fixing bracket to
the vehicle.

injector.
It is a bottom feed injector type
(suppl i ed from the bottom).
Referring to fig. 21, the gas contai-
ned inside the rail goes into the
lower side of the injector and is
injected in the air intake manifold
when the shutter, moved by the
electromagnet, frees the passage
section.
The tightness is assured by the
rubber final part of shutter, which
presses on a volcano.
The pressure differential acting
on the shutter enables it remaining
in the closure position when the coil
is not energised, and prevents gas
from being discharged in the air
intake manifold.
The injector is expressively stu-
died to have a long life in extreme
conditions of use:
The diaphragms insulate the
ver y del i cate zone of the
magnetic circuit, preventing any
gas resi dual products from
modifying its geometry.
Working temperature: from 40
C a +120 C.
15 g accelerations.
Intense electromagnetic forces
guarantee opening even when
oils or waxes, present in the
dirty gas and not trapped by the
filter, tend to stick the shutter to
its seat.
It is a low impedance injector
(2,04 ohm / 2,35 mH a 20 C) and
therefore requires a peak & hold
piloting.
The shutter opening time is very
short; it allows having a good con-
trol on the injected gas even in
small dosages, like in idling condi-
tions. The gas passage sections
allow a correct supply even in the
more powerful vehicles nowadays
available on the market.
To better meet the needs of a
fine idling control and a good sup-
pl y at hi gh r.p.m. there are two
kinds of injectors, with different pas-
sage sections. The injectors (pictu-

The table of picture 24 shows
the powers that can be supplied by
the BRC injectors depending on the

4.11.2 KEIHIN INJECTOR
It i s a top feed i nj ector.
Referring to picture 25, the gas
enters from the top and axially goes
through the shutter to reach the
l ower room. When the shutter
opens, attracted towards the top by
the electromagnet, the gas is injec-
ted in the air-intake manifold.
The pressure differential that
acts on the shutter enabl es i t
remaining in the closure position
when the coil is not energised, and
prevents gas from being discharged
in the air intake manifold. The vul-
canised rubber on the bottom of the
shutter guarantees both the seal
and the low noise of the injector (<
90 dB).
The injector has been expressi-
vely studied to withstand more than
290 mi l l i on of cycl es, equal to
100.000 km, in extreme conditions
of use:
The shutter i s covered by
teflon so that the injector can
work with no problems of wear
with LPG and CNG.
Worki ng temperature: from
35C to +120C.
15 g accelerations.
Intense electromagnetic forces
guarantee opening even when
oils or waxes, present in the
dirty gas and not trapped by the
filter, tend to stick the shutter to
its seat.
It is a low impedance injector
(1.25 ohm/ 3,5 mH a 20 C) and
therefore requires a peak & hold
piloting.

Picture 26 shows the typical
trend of current in the injector. The
shutter is opened by applying all
the battery voltage during the peak
phase; then the voltage which sup-
plies the injector becomes the one
called hold, as it is sufficient to
keep it open for the necessary time.
The shutter opening time is very
short; it allows having a good con-
trol on the injected gas even in
small dosages, like in the idling
conditions. The gas passage sec-
tions allow a correct supply even in
the more powerful vehicles nowa-
days available on the market.
To better meet the needs of a
fine idling control and a good sup-
pl y at hi gh r.p.m. there are two
kinds of injectors, with different pas-
sage sections.

4.12 GAS TEMPERATURE
AND PRESSURE SENSOR
This new concept sensor with a
small body and integrated inside the
connector also includes the P1 pres-
sure sensor and the gas temperatu-
re one. As already described in the
previous paragraph, this sensor has
to be installed directly on the injec-
tors rail for Sequent Fastness appli-
cations.
In this position the pressure and
gas temperature measurement is
more precise and allows a quick
intervention for gas carburation cor-
rections.
4.13 GAS PRESSURE
AND MANIFOLD
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
(MAP) SENSORS
P1-MAP device (picture 30 and
31) contains two sensors: the P1
sensor that measures the absolute
pressure present in the injectors rail
and the manifold absolute pressure
(MAP) that gives to the Fly SF ECU
the information on the absolute
pressure present inside the air-
intake manifold.
The device is pre-amplified so
that the signal is not easily distur-
bed. The pre-cabled connection
makes the installation very simple.
4.14 MANIFOLD ABSOLU-
TE PRESSURE (MAP - RAIL
SEQUENT FASTNESS)
This new sensor (picture 32) is
used for Sequent Fastness only. It
is light, very small and easy to be
installed to the body.
Picture 29

As all the other sensors descri-
bed before, its body is compact and
integrated with the connector. It has
in its inside a pressure sensor sui-
table for both vacuum and turbo
engines allowing a precise set up
for all vehicles.
4.15 FLY SF ECU (SEQUENT
E SEQUENT FASTNESS)
UA detailed description would lie
outside the purposes of this hand-
book. What is important is to know
that it is the operating unit control-
ling the whole system. It is comple-
tely made by automotive compo-
nents, being therefore suitable to
bear the temperature inside the
engine compartment, even though
precautions must be taken to ensu-
re that it is not assembled near red-
hot devices such as the exhaust
manifold. It is waterproof and is in
compliance with the EMC stan-
dards. It incorporates components
of the latest conception (Motorola
32 bit microprocessor), with a data
processing speed higher than most
original petrol ECUs. The memory
that contains calibration program
and data is not volatile, so, once
programmed, the Fly SF ECU (pic-
ture 33) can be disconnected from
the battery with no loss of data. It
can be programmed more times
without problems, for example it
can be transferred from a vehicle to
another and re-programmed.
Some data acquisition channels
are shared to be connected to diffe-
rent si gnal s accordi ng to the
various vehicles (e.g. TPS, MAP,
etc.).
The task of the ECU consists in
collecting and processing full infor-
mation and, as a consequence,
controlling the various functions of
the system; in particular the injec-
tors, controlling the injection time
and its duration, with a precision of
few microseconds (microsecond =
1/1000000 of second).
The ECU is contained in an alu-

Turbo LPG and
CNG applications

Sequent Fastness
applications
Picture 30

applications
minium rugged waterproof case,
able to bear very high temperatures
and to protect the inside electronic
parts, both from external atmosphe-
ric agents and from mechanical
stresses it is subjected to, and from
electromagnetic radiation irradiated
by the electrical components of the
engine or other sources (transmit-
ter, repeater, mobile phones, etc.).
The ECU has been studied to
withstand prolonged short-circuits,
both towards the ground and the
battery positive contact, on each of
its proper inlet/outlet wires (natural-
ly except for grounds and supplies).
This allows not ruining the ECU
even when in presence of the more
common harness errors (inversion
of polarity, wrong connection of one
or more wires, etc).
The harness connection takes
place through a unique 56-way con-
nector, whi ch contai ns al l the
23
FLY SF ECU, which incorporates a
proper resistive load.
By interruption, we mean the
function that, interrupting the elec-
trical connection between the petrol
ECU and the injectors, prevents
them from introducing petrol into
the engine cylinders while running
on gas.
Duri ng thi s phase the
SEQUENT system should actually
supply the engine with the gaseous
fuel; a simultaneous introduction of
petrol, that will damage the engine
and the catalyst, must absolutely
be avoided.
Naturally the petrol ECU diagno-
sis is opportunely designed to reco-
gnise the interruptions in the con-
nection with its actuators, in parti-
cular with the injectors.
It i s therefore necessar y to
emulate the load that was repre-
sented by the petrol injectors, in
other words, to substitute from the
electrical point of view the petrol
4.17 LEVEL SENSOR
The FLY SF ECU controls the
indication of gas level by means of
a signal on the GREEN LEDs of the
changeover switch. To do that, the
ECU is able to elaborate the signal
coming from the BRC resistive level
sensor (PICTURE 36) located on
the multivalve of the tank (LPG
equipment), or from the BRC resi-
stive pressure sensor (PICTURE
37) of the CNG equipment. The
thresholds of the LEDs are freely
programmable from PC (refer to the
software handbook), to allow an
accurate precision in the indication.
4.18 EMULATING
FUNCTION OF INJECTORS
The function of interrupting the
petrol injectors is completely car-
ried out by the FLY SF ECU.
The emulating function of the
injectors is also carried out by the
necessary signals for the various
functions, as regards the piloting of
4 injectors at most.
In the two-connector version
(picture 21), a 56-way and a 24-
way, two additional types of Fly
SF ECU are available: one for
vehicles up to 6 cylinders and
the other for vehicles up to 8
cylinders.
The ECU incorporates the fol-
lowing functions that were previou-
sly obtained through the installation
of external various components:
modular function to interrupt
and emulate injectors,
crankshaft sensor adapter
function, more and more useful
on new vehicle models,
timing advance processor
function, particularly useful for
CNG applications (this function
can not be used for Sequent Fly
SF and Sequent Fastness ECUs
for 8 cylinder vehicles)
i t i s possi bl e to connect 2
Lambda oxygen sensors with
no need of adapters,
the ECU contains the main
adapters for UEGO and in
need of power supply oxygen
sensors, to be assembl ed
externally in other systems.
4.16 CHANGE-OVER
SWITCH
WITH LEVEL GAUGE
It is the BRC two-position chan-
geover switch, in the standard or
built-in versions, equipped with a
buzzer and a LEDs indicating the
level.
The changeover switch (picture
35 page 24), as mentioned in para-
graph 3.3, allows carrying out the
following functions: changeover,
gas level gauging and diagnosis
and can signal irregular situations
(lack of gas, breakdowns, automa-
tic petrol re-changeover, etc.), both
through the LEDs, and the buzzer.

resistive load but a resistive-inducti-
ve one
For thi s reason i nsi de

Modular LD has been introduced to
supply the inductive load required
by the petrol ECU during the gas
operation when petrol injectors are
disconnected through the FLY SF
ECU. For further information please
refer to 6.2.17.B.
4.19 HARNESS
As we indicated before, the har-
ness is one of the main novelties
i ntroduced wi th the SEQUENT
system. In this paragraph we will
analyse two types with different
characteristics according to the
type of Sequent configuration.
The first (picture 38) is the usual
harness used till now for Sequent
application while the second one
(picture 39) is the new harness for
Sequent Fastness only.
The innovative modular harness
allows installing the simpler vehi-
cles with the only connection of
three wires (rpm, key contact, TPS:
respecti vel y grey, brown and
white/violet wires), naturally in addi-
tion to the positive and negative
battery.
For more sophisticated vehicles,
that consequently can require more
connections, it is possible to inte-
grate the harness with further con-
nections that allow optimising the
vehicle setting up and driving con-
ditions.
Both the main harnesses of the
SEQUENT system have a 56-way
connector, used by some of the
more i mpor tant European car
manufacturers.

other for vehicles up to 8 cylin-
ders.

used to comply with the EMC stan-
dards. The connectors present on
the harness are waterproof, except
for the one of the changeover swit-
ch that is placed in the passenger
compartment and is therefore pro-
tected from water. As regards the
connections of wires and harness
connectors you shoul d refer to
chap. 6 of the present handbook.
NOTE: as the 56 poles connec-
tor used in SEQUENT system is
the same used for Flying Injection
one, considering the similarity of
the exter nal str ucture of both
systems ECUs, it is possible to
mistake the two ECUs and using
the wrong one for the wrong
system.
Such an error is to be
accurately avoided, becau-
se it can cause the damaging of
the original components of the
vehicle.
Both the main harness (picture
38) and the 5,6,8- cylinder harness
(picture 40) are both available in
the Keihin injectors version and in
the BRC injectors one. It is recom-
mended not to invert such harnes-
ses.
On the other hand, the main
har ness for Sequent Fastness
application is available only for BRC
injectors so that you have to pair
the suitable 5-6-8 cylinder harness
with BRC injectors.
4.20 NORMAL WP ET98
LPG SOLENOID VALVE
The LPG solenoid valve used in
the SEQUENT system is a water-
proof type (with watertight connec-

tors) and is an evolution of the well-
known LPG BRC ET98 solenoid
valve, from which it can be exter-
nally distinguished for the white gal-
vanising (picture 41). Inside the
LPG solenoid valve, the filtering
system has been improved, in parti-
cular for the iron-magnetic parti-
cles.
Due to the precise working of
the injectors, it is compulsory to use
this kind of solenoid valve, in the
whole assembly of SEQUENT.
4.21 SUPER WP ET98
LPG SOLENOID VALVE
The Super WP ET98 solenoid
valve is an interception device for
LPG necessary and designed to
grant higher performances compa-
red to previous ones. An improved
coil allows a more efficient opening
power with the same current. This
permits to have bigger passage
sections and a higher LPG flown.
Even in this case the solenoidvalve
has been conceived to allow the
feeding of high power engines kee-
ping a high filtering grade. With
waterproof connectors, the sole-
noi dval ve body i s brass col our
without external covering while the
coil is red (picture 42).
4.22 VM A3/E CNG ELEC-
TRO-ASSISTED VALVE
The VM A3/E CNG electro-
assi sted val ve used i n the
SEQUENT system is of the water-
proof type (with watertight connec-
tors) and is an evolution of the well-
known CNG VMA3/E solenoid valve
(picture 43)
The valve, that is usually instal-
led inside the engine compartment
al ong the pi pes connecti ng the
CNG cylinder/s to the reducer, if
combined to the IM series CNG fil-
ling adapter, allows refuelling and,
at the same time, the free passage
26
of fuel supply.
The use of this kind of refuelling
solenoid valve, in the SEQUENT
system context, has a very impor-
tant role as the solenoid valve is
control l ed and operated by the
electronic control system. It opens
when the starting up begins and
closes in case of shutdown, even if
the driver does not turn off the igni-
tion key (i.e. as it can happen in
case of accident).

Genius MAX:

position
The following installation
rules are to be considered as
general.
Before i nstal l i ng the vari ous
components of the Sequent system
it is recommended to check the
petrol operation of the vehicle. In
particular, it is necessary to careful-
ly check the state of the electronic
ignition equipment, the air-filter, the
catalyst and the Lambda Oxygen
sensor.
5.1 SEQUENT GENIUS
REDUCER
The following general installa-
tion rules are to be considered
effective both for the LPG ver-
sion and CNG.
The reducer must be fi r ml y
fastened to the bodywork so that it
is not subjected to vibrations during
its operation. With the engine under
stress, the reducer must not hit any
other devi ce. The SEQUENT
GENIUS may be installed with any
orientation (picture 1,2 and 3); it is
not important that the diaphragm is
parallel to the running direction.
The pipe that connects the redu-
cer to the filter should not be longer
than 200-300 mm. For the connec-
tion see paragraphs 5.10.
If you need to tighten or loosen
the gas inlet fitting or any other fit-
ting, we recommend to always use
two spanners, in order not to move
the component screwed on the
reducer body.
The temperature sensor wire
should not be too tight or twisted, it

should nor make sudden folds at
the outlet of the sensor.
The copper pipe that goes from
the solenoid valve to the SEQUENT
GENIUS must not go through too
hot areas of the engine compart-
ment.
As no adjustment is program-
med on the SEQUENT GENIUS, it
is not essential it is assembled in
an easily accessible area. However
the installer should avoid uneasy
places, in order to make any main-
tenance operati ons wi thout too
many difficulties.
For what concerns the LPG ver-
sion it is important to note that
there are rubber-holders connec-
tions for 17x23 pipes on the water
side; they are quite large pipes
because LPG needs to be vapori-
sed and therefore needs a good
water flow. The water connection
can be made in series or in parallel
as regards the passenger compart-
ment heating circuit (picture 6 and
7). In phase of functional inspection
of the equi pment i nstal l ed i t i s
impor tant to check that the gas
temperature wi l l not reach l ow
values particularly after a long use
in power.
The CNG Sequent Genius, as it
does not have to perform the vapo-
risation function, is equipped with
rubber-hol ders for 8x15 water
pipes. The connection must be
necessarily parallel: i ndeed a
connection in series made with
pipes of such dimensions would
strongly decrease the passenger
compartment heating.
It is suggested, in this case, to
carefully follow the indications of
water inlet IN and water outlet
OUT placed on the reducer.
5.2 SEQUENT LPG
GENIUS MAX REDUCER
General installation criteria
described in the previous para-
graph have to be applied for the
SEQUENT LPG GENIUS MAX
reducer.
Unlike Sequent Genius reducer,
the Genius Max has rubber-holders
connections on the outlet so that
pipes have to be tightened using
the suitable supplied click clamps.
5.3 ZENITH CNG REDUCER
General installation criteria
described in 5.1 have to be
applied for the Zenith reducer,
too.
As for Genius MAX, the Zenith
reducer has rubber-holders con-
nections on the outlet so that pipes
have to be tightened using the sui-
table supplied click clamps.

5.4 FJ1 GASEOUS
PHASE FILTER
The filter may be fastened to the
vehicles structure or to the engine
with any orientation; but it would be
better to position it with the cartrid-
ge turned downward (picture 8).
The pipe that connects the filter
to the rail should not be longer than
200-300 mm. If you need to tighten
or loosen the fittings, we recom-
mend to use always two spanners,
in order not to move the component
that is screwed on the filter body.
It is recommended to place the
filter in an accessible area in order
to be able make its programmed
replacement.
N.B. During the filter installa-
tion it is recommended to follow
the direction of the arrow printed
on the upper side of the same fil-
ter. It represents the exact course
of gas fl ow, or rather from the
Sequent Genius reducer to the rail.
5.5 FJ1 TWIN GASEUOS
PHASE FILTER
The above indications are valid
for the FJ1 TWIN filter too (picture
9). The described filter is available
only with rubber-holders connec-
tions and can be used only with the
Genius MAX.
5.6 FJ1 HE GASEUOS
PHASE FILTER
The indications in the paragraph
5.4 are valid for the FJ1 HE filter,
too. The filter is available only with
rubber-holders connections.

nect the pipe as indicated in 5.10.
5.7.2 INSTALLATION OF KEHIN
INJECTORS ON THE RAIL
rubber-holder one (see picture 12).
Keihin Injectors must be assem-
bled as indicated below (fig. 30A):
Mount the rubber ring (1) and
the O-Ring (2) in its seat on the
injector (3),
Fit the injector on the rail (4)
without cutting or damaging the
O-Ring (2). It is suggested to
apply a minimum quantity of
grease on the O-Ring before the
installation. Do not apply too
much grease that may overflow
and go inside the injector while
working.
Once the injectors are moun-
ted they are fastened to the rail
through a suitable bracket (5).
Two screws and two washers (6)
fix the supporting bracket to the
vehicle (7) and the bracket (5).
After installation, the injectors
should not have endplay.
It is recommended to clean
carefully during this instal-
lation, to prevent any dirties from
obstructing the filter placed in
the injector inlet, or even worst,
damaging the same injector.
The injector ends with a rubber-
hol der on whi ch the pi pe fi xed

The difference between this rail
and the previous ones is the intro-
duction of the new pressure and
gas temperature sensor (described
in 4.11) directly placed on the rail
body (picture 13).
The rail has not the connection

Place the fixing bracket (pictu-
re 9) in the car using the screws
and the washers (picture 10).
Please pay attention to the
cleaning during assembly to
avoid dirtiness damage the injec-
tor.
The injector ends with a threa-
ded part to which you have to con-
nect the pipe as indicated in 5.10
5.7.4 INJECTORS RAIL
INSTALLATION IN THE VEHICLE
The rail with the injectors can be
fixed both to the vehicle and to the
engine; the orientation is not impor-
tant (picture 14 and picture 15 page
32).
The fixing must be stable; it is
necessary to place the injectors as
close as possible to the engine
head so that the air-intake manifold
connecting pipes are as short as
possible. They should not be longer
than 150 mm.
In case of BRC the suitable con-
nection nut has to be assembled on
a pipe end as indicated in the
5.10.
In case of Keihin injectors, pipes
must be fixed to the rubber-holder
through the click clamp and using
the suitable pliers.
Follow the installation criteria for
pipes and electric wires indicated in
5.10 and chapter 6.
As the injectors are not noise-
less, it is better not to fix them to
the bulkhead that divides the engi-
ne from the passenger compart-
ment, because it may become a
resonance box that would amplify
the noise. In case you are compel-

(P1-MAP, P1-MAP TURBO)
The P1-MAP sensor has to be
used in LPG applications for aspi-
rated engine while the P1-MAP
TURBO sensor must be always
used in LPG applications for boo-
sted engines and in all CNG appli-
cations.
The sensor has to be fixed to
the vehicles bodywork (picture 16)
avoiding high heat irradiation areas.
It is better than pipes are as short
as possible and anyway no longer
than 400 mm. For the connection
see paragraphs 5.10.
Electrical wires should not be
too stretched, or twisted and they
should not make sudden folds at
the sensor outlet.
5.9 MAP SENSOR
This new sensor is dedicated for
Sequent Fastness application with
Zenith reducer (picture 17).
For assembling instructions fol-
low all the indications in the pre-
vious paragraph.
5.10 PIPES
The pipes (picture 18,19 and
20) bel ongi ng to the Sequent
system are realised by BRC. The
pipes 10x17 mm supplied in the
Sequent kit have a fitting on each
ends (picture 18) and pipe 5x10,5
mm has the fitting on one end only
(picture 19).
The applications for the P1 sen-
sor and for BRC injectors you have
to use the 5x10,5 mm pipe that
must be cut at the desired length to
allow installing a rubber-holder with
a fitting-nut. In such cases installa-
tion will be as follows (picture 20):
Mount the fitting with rubber-

holder (1) on the suitable nut (2).
Fit the click clamp (3) on the
pipe (4).
Fit the pipe on the previously
assembled rubber-holder.
Tighten the pipe on the rubber-
holder with the click clamp and the
suitable pliers.
In case of Keihin injectors, use
the 5x10,5 mm pipe to be fixed
on the free end with the click clam-
ps without using the rubber-holder
and the connection nut.
Do not leave any rubber resi-
duals while cutting the pipe or fitting
the rubber-hol der ; these chi ps
could obstruct the pipes or other
components of the equi pment,
prejudicing its working.
Before mounting the pipe it is
recommended to blow it with com-
pressed air, in order to expel any
impurities or residuals. Verify that
the clamp guarantees tightness.
33
We recommend not to use pipes
that are different from the ones sup-
plied and to always mount them
usi ng hi gh-qual i ty wrenches i n
order to avoid damaging the hexa-
gons. Each time it is needed to
remove a fitting, use two wrenches,
in order to hold firmly the compo-
nent which is not be unscrewed.
The fittings are tight and they seal
on conical-spherical surfaces. Do
not apply excessive torque wren-
ches to avoid damaging the fittings.
Do not use any dope. The usual
criteria related to the correct instal-
lation of pipes should be always
respected, wi thout any rel ati ve
motions on running to avoid rub-
bings and wears, contacts against
sharp edges or driving belts, etc.
Once mounted, the pipes should
not be too stretched, they should
not make any folds or be positioned
in such a way to have the tendency
to make folds in the future.

5.11 NOZZLES
The installation of the nozzles is
one of the most important opera-
tions of the whole installation.
We recommend to clearly spot
all the points that will be drilled,
before beginning to drill.
Use the specific tools included
in the tool-case for the installation
of the Flying Injection components
code 90AV99004028.
The drill should be quite near
the cylinder head, but preserving
the same distance on all manifold
branches and the same nozzl e
orientation. Each nozzle has to be
perpendicular to the intake-pipe
axis, or at least, shape an angle
such to convey the flow towards the
engine and not towards the throttle-
body (picture 21 and 22).
On the plastic manifolds, spot
the areas whose walls are as less
thin as possible.
After having marked properly
the drilling points with a felt-tipped
pen, before starting to drill, verify
with the drilling-machine equipped
with a helicoidal bit, that there are
not overal l di mensi ons such to
avoid the correct drilling of all bran-
ches following the direction wanted.
Make a chasing and drill (picture
23).
Use a correctly sharpened 5
mm helicoidal bit, and then thread
with an M6 screw tap (picture 24).
Whi l e dri l l i ng and threadi ng,
take all necessary measures to pre-
vent the chips from going into the
manifold.
In particular, we recommend to
frequently remove the chips while
drilling and to grease the bit during
the breaking last phase of the wall,
in order to stick the chips to the bit.
The last part of wall should broken
slowly so that the chips are very
thin: this way the chips stick better
to the bit and, if any of them falls
inside, it would cause no damages.
Even during the M6 threading, it is
necessary to grease, extract and

often clean the screw tap.
By using the two 10-mm wren-
ches (fig. 39), screw every single
nozzle to the fitting of the 10x17
pipe.
By using two 10 mm wrenches
(picture 25) screw each nozzle to
the used 5x10,5 mm pipe con-
nection. Using some Loctite 83-21
(picture 26) screw the nozzle and
the pipe on the manifold hole. Fit
the nozzles correctly in order to
avoid tightening them excessively
and stripping them.
During the clamping phase it is
recommended to always use a pro-
per wrench, as the one contained in
the tool-case code 90AV99004028.
Do not change either the inside
diameter of the nozzles or their out-
side shape.
N.B. In presence of small dia-
meter air-intake manifolds, it can
be necessary to mount some
special nozzles, shorter than the
standard ones.
5.12 ECU (ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNIT)
It can be fixed both inside the
passenger and in the engine com-
partment (picture 28 and 29 page
36). Use the fixing holes on the alu-
minium body avoiding to subject the
structure to excessi ve stresses
(e.g.: do not fix the ECU on a con-
vex surface, thinking you can tigh-
ten the bolts thoroughly and level

connections (never pull the wires to
let the connector go through a hole
or to disconnect it!!!). Avoid making
too remarked fol ds, too strong
clamping, sliding against moving
parts, etc. Avoid certain pieces of
wi res from bei ng too stretched
when the engine is under stress.
Fix opportunely the pieces of wire
near the connectors, to prevent
their dangling from wearing them
out in the future. Avoid any contact
with sharp edges (burr the hole
rims and mount some wire-leads).
Avoi d pl aci ng the wi res of the
Sequent system too close to the
spark plug cables or to other parts
subjected to high voltage.
Each connector is polarised, for
this reason it is fitted without stress
only in the right direction.
Impor tant: all not pre-cabled
connections should be carried out
through electric brazing (soft solde-
ring) and opportunely insulated.
The soldering should not be cold
and should not risk coming off in
the future. Any unused wire of the
harness should be shortened and
separately insulated. Never use
welders that are connected to the
battery of the same vehicle, or wel-
ders of the quick type.
5.15 INSTALLATION TYPES
For various mechanical and
electrical installation types, plea-
se refer to the specific handbook
2/3.
Picture 29

everything). If available, use always
the suitable fixing bracket.
Avoid too hot areas or subjected
to hi gh thermal radi ati on. Even
though the ECU i s water proof,
avoid installing it in areas subjected
to continuos dripping water in case
of rain, so that the water does not
penetrate and stagnate in the har-
ness or sheaths.
No adjustment is programmed
on the ECU; i t i s therefore not
important it is easily accessible. It is
more important, instead, that the
cable going from the ECU with the
computer connection is placed in a
very accessible area and protected
by the cap from possible water infil-
tration.
5.13 CHANGE-OVER
SWITCH
Choose an easily accessible
and visible place for the driver and
fix the device with the screws sup-
plied. Substituting the label with the
spare one, the changeover switch
can also be installed in ver tical
position. Eliminating the external
body, the changeover switch can be
directly built in the vehicles dash-
board using the special tool to drill,
code 90AV99000043.
Speci fi c bui l t-i n changeover
swi tches are al so avai l abl e for
every single vehicle; they are to be
positioned in place of the original
switch-cover plates. Please refer to
the price list in force to know the
available models.
Make anyway sure it is always a
specific changeover switch in the
two-position version with buzzer.
5.14 HARNESS
The harness of the Sequent
system guarantees the correct tran-
smission of every inlet and outlet
signal of the ECU. From a mecha-
nical point of view, it is recommen-
ded to place the harness very care-
fully and to avoid forcing on the
37
The following general installa-
tion rules are to be considered indi-
spensable for a good understan-
ding of the system.
The FLY SF ECU must be con-
nected with the electric equipment
of the SEQUENT system (supplies,
grounds, signals, sensors, actua-
tors, etc.) through a 56-pole con-
nector that contains all the neces-
sary signals for the various opera-
tions, as regards the piloting up to 4
injectors.
The two-connector (56-way con-
nector and 24-way connector) ver-
sion, the ECU can control vehicles
up to 8 cylinders. Most of the har-
ness wires end on pre-cabled con-
nectors, therefore it becomes very
easy to connect the components of
the system to the ECU.
Furthermore, the conductors are
divided into more sheaths, in order
to simplify the installation and the
identification of the various wires.
All the connections of the wires
that do not end on a connector
should be executed by well-done
and duly insulated soft soldering.
Avoid any connections by simply
twisting the wires or using other
scarcely reliable systems. For the
mechanical assembly and the loca-
tion of the harness, make reference
to the paragraph 5.14 of the pre-
sent handbook.
6.1 CAUTIONS AND DIFFE-
RENCES COMPARED WITH
PREVIOUS SYSTEMS
The SEQUENT system differs
from other BRC systems in some
essential points. It is fundamental to
take note of the cautions contained
in this paragraph to avoid installa-
tion mistakes that can cause the
breaki ng of the gas equi pment
components or even damages to
the vehicles original equipment. All
the Sequent ECU harness termi-
nals are waterproof in compliance
with the latest European regula-
tions.
Considering the introduc-
tion of the new Sequent
Fastness (Zenith reducer, Rail
with pressure and gas tempera-
ture sensor and Map one) it is
necessary to clearly recognised
the new main harness for
Sequent Fastness (picture 15
page 46) from the old one for
Sequent (picture 2 page 38). For
this reason, the following para-
graph will describe all the electri-
cal changes of the new Fastness
Main Harness.
6.2 SEQUENT MAIN
HARNESS (REFER TO GENERAL
WIRING PLAN IN PICTURE 2)
6.2.1 CONNECTION OF THE
SOLENOID VALVES
An important difference compa-
red to other BRC systems, that can
cause mistakes if it is not taken into
account, is the connection of the
solenoid valves. In the previous
systems, a terminal of the solenoid
valve was perpetually connected to
the ground (usually to the vehicles
body, near the solenoid valve itself),
whi l e the other ter mi nal was
coming from the gas equipment
ECU. In the SEQUENT the philo-
sophy is different and is similar to
the one used to pilot the injectors
and other actuators on the original
petrol equipment. No solenoid valve
terminal is connected perpetually to
the ground, but a wire comes from
the +12V battery (through fuse and
relay), while the FLY SF ECU con-
trols the other.
Do not connect directly the
solenoid valve terminals to
the ground: that may cause a
short-circuit and will burn the
fuses on the harness and/or
prejudice the correct operation
of the equipment.
Another difference is that there are
piloting wires, separated for the
front and back solenoid valve. This
separation allows the FLY SF ECU
understanding whether and, in
case, which of the two solenoid val-
ves is burnt or in short-circuit. It is
therefore necessary to avoid con-
necting the two solenoid valves in
parallel: this may prejudice the ECU
diagnosis function (picture 1).
6.2.2 56-POLES HARNESS
As the 56-pole connector used by
the SEQUENT system is the same
already used for the Flying
Injection, even considering the simi-
larity of the external structure of

ECU of a system with the other one,
fitting it in the wrong equipment.
Such an error must be avoi-
ded, as it can damage the
ECUs and/or the original equip-
ment of the vehicle.
If, after the installation of the
equipment and the ECU, the vehicle
does not start up, it is a good tip not
to insist, before having checked that
the ECU is of the correct type.
6.2.3 SEQUENT GENIUS AND
GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor con-
tained in the Genius Sequent,
Genius M and Genius Max is diffe-
rent from the one used for the
Flying Injection.
Confusing the two sensors and
mounting the wrong one, the ECU
will not be able to determine the cor-
rect gas temperature, to act correctly
the programmed changeover strate-
gies and to make the corrections in
the injection times that depend on
the gas temperature, while running
on gas.
6.2.4 SUPPLIES AND GROUND
FROM BATTERY
Sheath A in figure 2 contains
two red and two black wires to be
connected to the car battery: the
red wires to the positive and the
black ones to the negative. It is
important to connect the wires as
they are, allowing that they reach
separately the terminals of the bat-
tery, without joining the wires of
same colour in an only wire or joi-
ning them along the harness.
The grounds must be
always connected to the
battery negative and not to the
vehicles structure, engine
ground or other grounds present
on the vehicle.
6.2.5 FUSES AND RELAY
At the outlet of the sheath B
(see picture 2) there are the two
15A and 5A fuses of the SEQUENT
equipment. The harness is supplied
wi th the two fuses wi th correct
amperage, fitted in the right place.
It is recommended not to substitute
the fuses with others of different
amperage and not to invert their
position. The 5A fuse will be fitted in
the fuse-holder with the smaller
section wires, while the 15A fuse
will be fitted in the fuse-holder with
the larger section wires.
At the outlet of the sheath B
there i s al so a rel ay that the
SEQUENT utilises to interrupt the
battery positive coming from the
actuators.
After finishing the connections, it
is recommended to properly fix and
protect both the fuses and the relay.
6.2.6 CHANGE-OVER SWITCH
The 10-pole multipolar cable C
inside the harness, ending on the
10-way connector, is used for the
connection of the ECU to the chan-
geover switch placed in the passen-
ger compar tment (picture 2). In
order to make easier its passage
across the wall openings, it is sug-
gested to bend the connector by
90 to make it parallel to the wires.
The SEQUENT equipment uses
the BRC two-position changeover
switch with buzzer (see BRC Price
List for sale codes).
6.2.7 DIAGNOSTIC POINT
The PC connection to the FLY
SF ECU is based on a diagnostic
point, directly coming from the har-
ness. It is the 3-way connector dia-
gnostic point (female-holder on the
harness), equipped with a protec-
tion cap. The diagnostic point is
usually placed near the 56-pole
connector of the ECU. The connec-
ting cable D differs from the one
used for the connection of the PC
on the Flying Injection system, for
the type of connector. For the PC
connection it is necessary to use
the suitable cable code DE512114.
6.2.8 LEVEL SENSOR
The resistive type level sensor
has to be connected directly to the
harness through the 2-pole connec-
tor, pre-cabl ed (Sheath E on
drawing of picture 2). There is no
error possibility, because the connec-
tor of the level sensor is the only one
of this type. The connection between
the ECU and the sensor can be
made through the special extension
cable (06LB50010062) ended on the
special connector of the resistive
sensor for the Europa Multivalve. The
sheath E also contains the 2-pole
connector for the back solenoid valve
connection (see par. 6.2.8).
6.2.9 SOLENOIDVALVES
The solenoidvalves has to be
connected to the harness through
the pre-cabled connectors connected
to the wires contained in the sheaths
E and F. The front solenoid valve
will be connected to the connector of
the sheath F, while the rear one
(Europa multivalve) will be connec-
ted to the connector of sheath E
through a suitable extension cable
code 06LB50010062 (picture 1 page
37 and 3 page 40).
The sheath E also contains the
connector for the resistive level sen-
sor described in par. 6.2.8.
6.2.10 GAS TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The temperature sensor, placed
on the pressure reducer, is of the
two-wire resistive type, based on
NTC thermistore. It is a sensor,
which is different from the one used
in the Flying Injection equipment.
By confusing the two sensors and
mounting the wrong one, the ECU
will not be able to determine the
correct gas temperature, to act cor-
40
rectly the programmed changeover
strategies and to make the correc-
tions in the injection times that
depend on the gas temperature,
while running on gas. The connec-
tion with the harness comes throu-
gh the special 3-way connector
(male-holder on the harness) on
which the 2 wires contained in the
sheath G of the harness end.
6.2.11 RAIL P1 PRESSURE
SENSOR AND MANIFOLD
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
SENSOR (MAP)
The P1-MAP pressure sensor is
connected to the harness through a
sui tabl e pre-cabl ed connector,
which is connected to the wires,
contained in the sheath H.
The P1-MAP pressure sensor is
a device containing two sensors in
the same box: one to measure the
gas pressure inside the injector
supplying rail and the other one to
measure the air-intake manifold
pressure.
6.2.12 GAS INJECTORS
The gas injectors are connected
to the harness through the wires
with pre-cabled connectors contai-
ned in the sheaths I1, I2, I3,
I4 (see picture 2).
The connectors of the gas injec-
tors are numbered from 1 to 4 (or
from 1 to 8 with the two-connector
ECU); the same for the sheaths of
the wires that will be connected to
the petrol injectors.
It is very important to main-
tain the correspondence
between gas and petrol injectors.
In practice, the gas injector con-
nected to the connector n l 1
should correspond to the cylinder
containing the petrol injector to
which we will connect the injector
connection Sequent plug (or the
Orange and Violet wires of the uni-
versal injector connection Sequent
harness) marked with the n P1,

and so on. In case there is no cor-
respondence, you will note a wor-
sening in the equipment performan-
ces, such as, for example: worse
driving conditions, higher unsteadi-
ness of the lambda control, less
clean petrol/gas changeover, etc.
The number that distingui-
shes the gas injectors connec-
tors is stamped on the harness
wires coming to the same con-
nector.
6.2.13 RPM SIGNAL
The SEQUENT system is able
to acquire the engine speed signal
(often indicated as rpm signal) by
connecting directly to the rpm indi-
cator.
It is sufficient to connect the
Grey wire contained in the sheath
L to the original equipment rpm
indicator signal wire going from the
petrol ECU to the revolution counter
in the dashboard. This wire is not to
be cut but only stripped, welded
with the wire of the SEQUENT har-
ness and insulated (picture 2 page
38).
6.2.14 TPS SIGNAL
In the sheath M there is the
White/Violet wire to be connected
to the TPS wire (throttle valve posi-
tion sensor) of the original equip-
ment; this wire should not be cut,
but only stripped, soldered with the
wire of the SEQUENT harness and
insulated. The TPS wire, if not cor-
rectly connected, can enable the
SEQUENT system to work
nevertheless in a sort of steady
condition but it can deteriorate the
driving conditions, in particular in
sudden accelerations and tip-outs.
In the sheath N there is the
Yel l ow wi re to be connected, if
necessary, to the wi re of the
Lambda Oxygen sensor, placed
before the catalyst. This wire is not
to be cut but only stripped, welded
with the wire of the SEQUENT har-
ness and insulated.
The connection of the Yellow
wire allows a quicker self-learning
by the FLY SF ECU and is therefore
very useful in the event of the self-
learning phase requiring a further
configuration refinement (refer to
the software hand-book).
6.2.16 POSITIVE KEY CONTACT
The Brown wi re of the
SEQUENT equipment, contained in
the sheath indicated with the letter
O in picture 2, has to be connec-
ted to the key contact posi ti ve
signal of the original equipment.
This wire has not to be cut but only
stripped, welded with the wire of
the SEQUENT harness and insula-
ted.
6.2.17 10-POLE-CONNECTOR

FOR PETROL INJECTORS
HARNESS CONNECTION
The interruption of the petrol
injector is possible by using the P
sheath ending with a 10-pole-con-
nector. You only have to connect
one of the specific harnesses for
the petrol injectors stopping accor-
di ng to the type i n the vehi cl e
(Bosch or Sumitomo).
List of the codes for Bosch con-
nector harnesses:
code 06LB50010102 Ri ght

for 4 petrol injectors
code 06LB50010103 Left (SX)
Sequent connection harness for 4
petrol injectors,
(DX) Sequent connection harness
for 2 petrol injectors,
petrol injectors,
code 06LB50010101 Universal
petrol injectors,
code 06LB50010104 Universal
petrol injectors,
to be chosen according to the
petrol injectors polarity.
List of the codes for Sumitomo
connector harnesses:
(DX) Sequent connection har-
ness for 4 petrol injectors,
Sequent connection harness for
4 petrol injectors,
(DX) Sequent connection har-
ness for 2 petrol injectors,
Sequent connection harness for
2 petrol injectors,
to be chosen according to the
petrol injectors polarity.
The connection is very easy and
the philosophy is the same BRC
used from the beginning.
To select the right harness you
only have to follow the instructions
inside the single packages.
It is important to keep the
same injection sequence
we have during the petrol opera-
tion while operating with gas. It
is necessary to stop the petrol
injectors signals with the same
order you will follow to connect
the gas injectors.
You could pair a consecutive
number to each cylinder (i.e. from 1
to 4 in case of a 4-cylinder engine
and note that this order only help to
carry out the SEQUENT installation
so that it could be different from the
one the car manufacturer assi -
gned). Generally in case of a tran-
sversal engine you will indicate as
number 1 the cylinder placed on
the cam belt side (see picture 2)
The petrol injector sprinkling in
the first cylinder will be stopped
with the group 1 of the Sequent
petrol Inj ectors Connecti on
Harness (or with the Orange and
Violet wires identified with the num-
ber 1 of the Uni versal Petrol
Injectors Connection Harness) and
so on.
The numbers identifying both
gas and petrol injectors are prin-
ted directly on the harness con-
nection wires.
6.2.17.A Polarity of the
injectors
For the selection of the correct
i nj ectors i nterrupti on harness
(Right or Left) or to precisely know
what is the negative wire (in case
you prefer to use the Universal har-
ness) it is important to know the
injectors polarity that is where the
positive wire is placed in order to
intervene on the Negative one.
Referring to the picture number 4
it is necessary to:

If watching the connector as
indicated in the picture 4 (pay
attention to the reference teeth)
the +12V wire is on the right you
have to use a RIGHT Harness. If
you are installing a Universal har-
ness you will have to stop the
negative wire (on the left).
If the feeding is on the left use
the LEFT Harness. If you are
installing a Universal harness
you will have to stop the negative
wire (on the right).
6.2.17.B Modular LD
As can be seen from paragraph
4.18, even when you should use an
additional resistive-inductive load, it
is not necessary to add any outside
modules but simply to connect the
male of the Sequent harness with
the female connector of the DX/SX
or universal injectors harness (pic-
ture 5). This connection enables to
supply a resistive-inductive load to
the original petrol ECU.
6.2.18 10-POLE CONNECTOR
FOR AUXILIARY
HARNESS CONNECTION
In case of particular vehicles,
SEQUENT offers the possibility,
through the sheath Q ending with
a 10-pole connector, to take other
signals that are not usually neces-
sary in most vehicles converted.
In this connector it is sufficient,
after having removed the protecting
cap, to fit the specific auxiliary con-
necti on Sequent Harness code

First it is necessary to remove
this connector to obtain the fol-
lowing 4 wires:
Blue
Pink
Blue/Black
Pink/Black
These last two wires (along with
the remai ni ng 5 wi res of the
Auxiliary Harness) should be insu-
lated singularly.
It is sufficient to connect the
Sequent Auxiliary Harness Blue
and Pink wires respectively to the
negative and positive of the crank-
shaft sensor (picture 7), without
interrupting them. The negative and
positive of the crankshaft sensor
are recognisable by the signal pre-
sent on the wi res that, i f i t i s
displayed by a cathode-ray oscillo-
scope, in correspondence with the
44
reference hole, has the trend illu-
strated in pictures 8 and 9.
If you do not have the cathode-
ray oscilloscope, you can connect
the wi res to the si gnal wi thout
worrying about the polarity, and
then verify that, in all the working
conditions of the engine, the r.p.m.
are correctly read; if not, or in case
you have an irregular gas operation
of the vehicle, you have to try to
invert the polarity.
If you use this connection,
cut and insulate the L
grey wire ( 6.2,13).
6.2.18.B Signal for the Ignition
Timing Advance Variation
If you want to use the timing
advance function, the FLY SF ECU
is equipped with, and the connector
of the vehicle Top Dead Center
sensor is plug-compatible with
one of the specific interface cables
supplied by BRC, the diagram to be
followed is represented in picture
10.
In this case it is NOT necessary
to remove the connector of the
Auxiliary Connection Harness, but
it is possible to connect it to one of
the Ti mi ng Advance Processor
Harnesses normally used for the
Aries electronic Advance Processor
(for the correct choice refer to the
specific wiring diagrams of the sin-
gle vehicles or to the BRC Price
List: Timing Advance Processors -
Different Devices -).
is equipped with and the connector
vehicle of the Top Dead Center
sensor is NOT plug-compatible
with one of the specific interface
cables supplied by BRC, the dia-
gram to be followed is represented
in picture 11.
In this case it is necessary to
remove the connector of the
Auxi l i ar y Connecti on Har ness,
obtaining thus the following 4 wires:
Blue
Pink
Blue/Black
Pink/Black
The wires going from the crank-
shaft sensor to the petrol ECU
should be interrupted. The Pink and
Blue ones have to be connected to
the si de that goes towards the
crankshaft sensor, whi l e the
Blue/Black and Pink/Black wires will
have to be connected to the side
going to the petrol ECU. As regards
to the polarity of the Pink and Blue
wires, see the previous paragraph.
For what concerns the connec-
ti on of the Bl ue/Bl ack and
Pink/Black wires, the Blue/Black
wire should be connected to the
Petrol ECU si de of the wi re to
which the Blue wire has been con-
nected on the crankshaft sensor;

6.2.18.C Engine Water
Temperature Signal
This signal is sometimes useful
to compensate the cold enrichment
programmed by the carmaker that
can be counterproductive in the gas
operation. This kind of connection is
normally for CNG applications.
For its correct use it is recom-
mended to refer to the BRC indica-
tions. The signal is taken on the
wire of the engine water sensor of
the original equipment of the vehi-
cle. This wire should not be cut, but
only stripped and soldered with the
White/Red wire of the SEQUENT
Harness for Auxiliary connections
(picture 12).
6.2.18.D Lambda
Oxygen Sensor Signal
In the SEQUENT system the
Lambda oxygen sensor signal is
not normally taken and emulated.
The possible connection of the
Yellow wire going out from the main
harness allows a quicker vehicle
self-learning. In case of emulation
of the Lambda oxygen sensor
signal, it is necessary to cut the
wire going from the ECU to the
Lambda oxygen sensor, connect
the Li ght bl ue 1 wi re of the
Auxiliary Harness from the ECU
side to the Yellow 1 wire of the
Lambda oxygen sensor side (pictu-
re 13).
These connections should be
realised only on particular vehi-
cles, on the BRC after-sales ser-
vices advice.
In case of two-bank vehicles,
Sequent offers the possibility to act
on the second Lambda oxygen
sensor, through the Yellow 2 and
Light blue 2 wires present on the
Auxiliary Harness.
These last connections too
should be only realised on parti-
cular vehicles, on the BRC after-
sales services advice.
6.3 SEQUENT FASTNESS
MAIN HARNESS (REFER TO
GENERAL WIRING PLAN IN
PICTURE 15)
In the following paragraphs only
the differences compared to the
previ ousl y descr i bed Sequent
Harness (see 6.2) will be descri-
bed to avoid useless repetitions.
As you may note i n the two
general wiring plans in picture 2
page 38 and picture 15 page 46
there are some important differen-
ces.
In the Sequent Fastness one
(picture 15) the 10-pole connector
for the auxiliary connection has
been el i mi nated whi l e a 5-pol e
ones for the crankshaft sensor and
for the spark ti mi ng managi ng
and/or r pm readi ng has been
added.
The black wire (gas temperature

and the last one is incorporated on
the Zenith reducer.

In case of particular vehicles,
Sequent offers the possibility throu-
gh the sheath Q ending with a 5-
pole connectors to carry out the
connection for crankshaft sensor for
the timing advancer management
and/or rpm reading.
Pay attention: for the pos-
sible connections of the 5-

to the indications contained in
the following paragraphs. We
recommend you to insulate the

If this signal is not available or
does not have such operations to
be interpreted by the FLY SF ECU,
it is possible to take the Crankshaft
sensor signal through the

First it is necessary to remove
this connector to obtain like that the
following 4 wires:

6.3.2 PRESSURE AND GAS TEM-
PERATURE SENSOR
The pressure and gas tempera-
ture sensor as described in para-
graph 4.12 is placed directly on the
rail (dedicated for BRC injectors).
The connection to the harness is
made through the suitable 4-pole
connectors (male holder on the har-
ness) where the 4 wires contained
in the harness R sheath of the
harness end.
Also in this case as before, in
the final part of the harness,
about 10 cm of grey thermo-nar-
rowing are introduced.
6.3.3 ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
SENSOR MAP
The new conceived MAP pres-
sure sensor is connected to the
har ness through sui tabl e pre-
cabled connector, joint to the wires
contained in the H sheath.
(ROW 1 AND ROW 2)
The SEQUENT system does not
usually include the picking up and
emulation of the Lambda Oxygen
sensor signal.
The possible connection of the
Yellow wire coming out from the
N1 sheath (picture 15) allows a
faster self-learning of the vehicle. In
case of emulation, it is necessary to
cut the wire going to the Oxygen
sensor, connect the Light Blue wire
on the ECU side and the Yellow
wire on the Oxygen sensor side
(picture 14 page 45).
These connections have to be
carried out only on particular
vehicles and on advice of the
BRC Technical Assistance
Service.
In case of two-bank vehicles,
Sequent offers the possibility to act
on the second Lambda oxygen
sensor, through the Yel l ow and

the wi res to the si gnal wi thout
worrying about the polarity, and
then verify that, in all the working
conditions of the engine, the r.p.m.

The possible second P1-MAP
pressure sensor can be connected
to the 5-6-8-cylinder harness throu-
gh the proper pre-cabled connector
of the wires contained in the sheath
HS (picture 16).
Attention: in the Sequent
Fastness applications this
connector is not used but cut
and insulated.
6.4.4 GAS INJECTORS
The Gas Injectors (from the 5th
to the 8th) are connected to the
harness by means of the wires with
pre-cabled connectors contained in
the sheaths I5, I6, I7, I8 (see
picture 20).
If it is a 5-6-cylinder harness the
sheaths i ndi cated wi th I wi l l

For what concerns the connec-
ti on of the Bl ue/Bl ack and
Pink/Black wires, the Blue/Black
wire should be connected to the
Petrol ECU si de of the wi re to
which the Blue wire has been con-
nected on the crankshaft sensor;
the same for the Pi nk and
Pink/Black wires
Pay Attention to the fact
the Spark timing function
is not available for 8 cylinder
vehicles ECUS.

6.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE
5-6-8 CYLINDER HARNESS
(FOR ALL SEQUENT
CONFIGURATIONS)
As menti oned i n paragraph
4.19, in addition to the main har-
ness, ending with a 56-way connec-
tor, used for the conversion of 4-
cylinder vehicles, another harness
is available to be used on two-con-
nector FLY SF ECUs, ending with
a 24-way connector (picture 20).
This harness therefore allows
realising, with only one two-connec-
tor FLY SF ECU, the conversion of
5-6-8 cylinder vehicles, without
needi ng two standard FLY SF
ECUs.
Obviously two different types
of 5-6-8 cylinder harnesses are
available: one is for vehicles up
to 6 cylinders, and the other for
vehicles up to 8 cylinders.
The main difference between
the two harnesses is the quantity of
I connectors for the gas injectors
connection.
The 5-6-cylinder version of har-
ness is equipped with only two I
connectors (specific for 5 and 6-
cylinder vehicles).
The 8-cylinder version of har-
ness is equipped with four I con-
nectors (specific for 8-cylinder vehi-
cles).
6.4.1 GROUND FROM BATTERY
The sheath AS in picture 16
contains a Black wire that will be
connected to the vehicles battery
with one of the Black wires of the
main harness.
Pl ease refer to the cauti ons
reported in paragraph 6.2.4.
6.4.2 SUPPLY
The sheath BS in picture 16
contains a Green wire that will have
to be connected to the free central
terminal of the relay belonging to
the sheath B of the vehicles bat-
tery main harness (picture 2 page
38 and 15 page 46).

The connectors of the gas injec-
tors are progressively numbered
and i n the same way as the
sheaths of the wires that will be
connected with the petrol injectors.
It is very important to main-
tain the correspondence
between the gas injectors and
the petrol ones.
Practically, the gas injector to
which the n 15 connector will be
connected, should correspond to
the cylinder containing the petrol
injector, where we will connect the
plug P5 of the Injectors Connection
Sequent Harness (or the Orange
and Violet wires of the Universal
Inj ectors Connecti on Sequent
Harness) and so on. In case the
correspondence is not respected, it
is possible to note a worsening in
the equipment performances such
as, for example: worse driving con-
ditions, greater instability of the
Lambda control , l ess cl ean
petrol/gas changeover, etc.
The number that distingui-
shes the connectors of the
gas injectors is stamped on the
harness wires going to the same
connector.
6.4.5 10-POLE CONNECTOR FOR
PETROL INJECTORS HARNESS
CONNECTION
The interruption of the petrol
injectors (from the 5th to the 8th) is
possible by using to the sheath
PS ending with a 10-pole connec-
tor.
It is sufficient to connect it to
one of the specific injectors inter-
rupti on harnesses descri bed i n
paragraph 6.2.17.
While running on gas, it is
important to keep the same
injection sequence you have
during petrol operation. It is the-
refore necessary to interrupt the
signals of the petrol injectors
with the same order of the gas
injectors connection.
The numbers that distinguish
both the gas injectors connec-
tors and the petrol ones are prin-
ted directly on the correspon-
ding wires of harness connec-
tion.

Crankshaft position (sensor) It is a sensor that is assembled near a gearwheel, integral with the driving shaft
that produces an electrical signal which represents the driving shaft position.
Cut-Off It is a particular working condition of the engine in which the injectors do not sup-
ply fuel to the cylinders, which therefore sucks up pure air. Typically we are in cut-
off during a tip-out of the accelerator, with possible deceleration of the vehicle
(engine brake), starting from not too slow running conditions.
Diagnosis It is the identification process of a problem cause or nature, breakdown, or particu-
lar condition or situation to be detected or signalised as malfunction.
Differential Pressure It is the difference of pressure between two areas, as for example between the air-
intake manifold and the atmospheric pressure.
Duty Cycle In a rectangular waveform it is the ratio between the duration of high level and the
period of the same waveform. In formula, if Ton is the high level duration and Toff is
the low level duration, then Tp = Ton + Toff is the period and DC = Ton / Tp = Ton /
(Ton+Toff) is the Duty Cycle.
ECU (Electronic Control Unit) In this context it is the Electronic Control Unit of the engine or of the gas carbure-
tion.
Electro-injector see Injector.

how many grams of a material pass in a second in a certain section.
Ground It is the electrical potential of reference (voltage equal to zero Volt). By ground we
mean the whole of cables and electrical conductors connected to this potential.
The ground potential is present on the negative pole of the vehicles battery, that by
extension it is called ground of the battery.

signals of the ECU. If one or more signals are out of the programmed limits, a mal-
function of the system or of the related systems detected, signalised and stored.
OR (O Ring) It is a gasket consisting of a rubber ring.
Oxygen Sensor It is a sensor that detects the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gases. It ena-
bles the ECU to determine if the air/fuel mixture is too rich or too lean of fuel,
allowing the working of the system in closed loop.
PC Personal Computer
Peak & Hold (piloting) See also Piloting. It is the particular driving of the injectors that supplies a greater
starting current to the coil in the opening phase, in order to reduce the opening
times of the injector (peak); the current is later reduced to a lower value, sufficient
to keep the injector open (hold).
Piloting In this handbook, it indicates the action and the way the electric actuators are con-
trolled by the ECU or other electric device, through electrical power signals.
