    This document provides instructions for installing and operating the Gizzmo FCD Fuel Cut Defender controller. It allows a vehicle to run at a higher boost level without the ECU cutting fuel by isolating the ECU's load signal. Installation involves cutting the load signal wire and connecting the FCD unit in series. The FCD then sends a controlled load signal to the ECU while monitoring the true boost level. Settings are adjusted using a multimeter and trim pot to set the appropriate clamping voltage for the vehicle.

    Fuel Cut Defender


    The Gizzmo FCD allows a vehicle to run a higher boost level without the vehicles ECU cutting the fuel supply at the factory specific boost level (eg. Fuel/boost cut). The Gizzmo FCD totally isolates the load signal (map, mass or afm) from the ECU. This allows the FCD to become the active supplier of the ECUs load signal, and with the ECU blind to the increased boost the fuel/boost cut is removed allowing boost to be set without the factory ECUs boost restriction

    GIZZMO FCD Installation / Operation Guide


    The Gizzmo FCD blinds the computer to the true boost being produced by the engine. Consideration needs to be made that the computer will only be controlling the fuel to the boost level the computer registers. Over this level steps need be taken to supply the additional fuel required to run extra boost.

    NOTE:

    To set the unit to the required voltage you will need a multi-meter and a small flat blade screwdriver.

    GIZZMO FCD setup and adjustment procedure


    Ensure FCD wiring is complete Switch the vehicles ignition on Probe the FCD earth wire (grey) with the negative multi-meter probe Place the positive multi-meter probe onto the FCD voltage reference pad, labeled Reference. The clamping voltage will now be shown on the multi-meter. With the multi-meter displaying the clamping voltage, take a small flat blade screwdriver and turn the trim pot, labeled adjust till the voltage reads the correct setting for your vehicle. Test-drive the car, check the Clamped LED illuminates when the clamping voltage is reached. This signals the FCD is operating.

    NOTE: If the vehicle still experiences a fuel cut


    lower the clamping voltage till the cut is removed.
