Fuel cut???, Does a 3SGTE need this? Options

[str8thugginit4ya]

Hello fellow 6GC'ers,

I tried searching for the answer to this, but I guess I either am the first person to ask this or I just suck at research. I have a 94 GT with a 3rd gen 3SGTE swap in it. I currently have my boost turned down to about 8lbs. Before I get into the problems I have, I just wanted to know if the 3S needs a fuel cut or not? Also, if it does, is it the 4 wire or 5 wire one? Please let me know as soon as you can. Ok, the reason why I have my boost turned down is because when I have the boost set to stock (14lbs), I get a sputtering, as if the car is struggling to pull whenever the boost hits a little less than 1 bar or higher. Please let me know if this could be because of not having a fuel cut installed or if it could be something else. I already put in new cap, rotor, plugs, wires because I thought it was my ignition system. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I also have a AFC Neo hooked up to the car as well if that changes anything.


-Thanks, Ryan

well bro i cant tell u exactly how to install it as im using the Apexi AVC-R. But if ur getting the instructions with it then it should be an easy installation. However try searching on the net how to use and calibrate it as thats normally the most difficult part. With stock internals i wouldnt advise to go higher than 1.1 bar, even some people may say that 1.2 bar is safe. In fact it depends on a lot of things. For e.g; your fuel octane rating...fresh air intake...if your heat transfer system is working correctly, especially if you had a swap. If your fuel system if clean you shouldn't have any problem.
Ive learnt lots of things since i had my swap. For example, i am now convinced that getting a super powerful fuel pump will not improve your hp by much more than your stock fuel pump. U may get 1 hp? or 2? thats all. But always make sure you r getting enough fresh air and boost....fuel and a good ignition for real power.
