Fuel Tech FT450

[rat4020]

Are there any members here that installed a Fuel Tech system in their Apex motors I could use some help with mine LOL

Nobody ae?
Its I installed a Ft450 with a universal 4cyl harness. Not much support after sale. Got a pos out of the supposed to be negative trigger for the coil and injector relays main is normal

Been meaning to ask you are using the oem voltage regulator/rectifier correct?

You're saying the coils are wired wrong or opposite of the injectors?

 

[rat4020]

Got 12.4 volts showing on the display. And I was thinking the same about the injector wires I guess I didnt think it mattered though

 

[rat4020]

I looked up ID 1050.48.11.14.4 wiring and there's or they say pos and neg makes no diff when wiring them

How is it running?! Ya flying yet!

spent an hr remote tuning with Fuel Tech and it’s all good. The person who sold me the ft450 had about everything wrong and don’t ask me what he all did cause I couldn’t keep up with the pointer on my laptop as he was tuning . My bad for not contacting Fuel Tech from the beginning that would’ve saved a lot of frustration. It’s running very well now. I still have a lot to learn about the Ft450

Thanx Allan, good timing info I am adding thermocouple into the collector along with a EGT conditioner before I go any further. Buster Brown showed up yesterday but the thermocouple lead is way too short so another week wait.

Any chance you can send me the fueltech map? I just need a startup map to my apex that I'm installing a ft550 on. What did you do for coils? Oem with ignitor or short vag smart coil?

 

[rat4020]

The map I have is not tuned it starts and runs good but timing is off I am doing some more updates and adding more functions to be controlled by the ft450 after that is done I plan on having Straight Line performance dyno it.
i have the Fuel tech smart coils.
