ZI se tting Fue l Co rrection Map@ -c Changing Fuel Correction Map [setting] -+ [Inj Map]This will change the Fuel Correction Map. The map uses the same 20 x 20 size as the Ignition

Timing Map. The Fuel Correction Value uses the ideal air fuel ratio of approx. 14.57 as 100%. Ifthe value gets larger, the fuel mixture gets richer, if the value gets smaller, the mixture gets leaner.

About the Basic Injection Map ...Pressure Sensor controlled vehicles do not use air flow volume to determine Fuel Injection

Amounts. This is why a Basic Injection map exists aside from the Fuel Correction Map. The BasicFuel Injection Map is a Load and RPM based map designed to achieve the ideal 14.57 air fuel ratio.However, on heavily modified engines (turbo upgrade, cam upgrade) it becomes necessary tochange the Basic Fuel Injection map as well. The FC-COMMANDER does not allow directmodification to the Basic fuel Injection Map, but allows modification of the RPM and pressure sensorvoltages by 5 points each.Please refer to P24(Basic Fuel Injection Correction) for further information.The Basic Fuel Injection Map can only be changed through authorized APEX Power Excel Tuning

shops.

measured. For this reason, the POWER FC will illuminate the Exhaust Temp. Warning Indicatorfor boost levels over 1.1g/cm 2 to notify the user that the boost levels have exceeded themeasuring capacity.[The Boost setting can be set to a level below the actuator capabilities. However, actual Jboost levels CANNOT go below the actuator limits. When using the BOOST CONTROL KIT Use the BOOST CONTROL KIT when upgrading the turbos or when the factory sequential

turbo system is not being used. The BOOST CONTROL KIT will only utilize the Primarysetting for boost control. About Boost Control'The POW E R - F C controls boost by using the duty cycle of the solenoid valve.This duty cycle is the percentage of open and closed cycles for the solenoid valve in a given

amount of time. About Base DutyThe solenoid valve duty must be changed in order to achieve desired boost levels. The duty

cycle required to hit a certain boost level is usually determined by the wastegate spring. Whenchanging the desired Boost Level, please change the Base Duty. Even if the Base Duty is notexact, the unit will compensate during driving and correct the difference. The larger the BaseDuty, the higher the boost level, the smaller the Base Duty, the lower the boost level. About Fuel Cut associated with High Boost Levels' If the Boost level rises above O. 2 5 [kg/cmJ over the preset Boost Levels, a fuel cut will

occur thereby notifying the user of a Boost Control problem. CAUTIONWhen using a Boost Controller other than the POWER-FC, be sure to set the POWER-FC

boost to a level where fuel cut will not occur.
