FIC Easytune

Anyone ever use one of these? From what I gather it is a voltage stabilizer for the injectors and eliminates the need to add or subtract dead time for different voltages and also looks like it may bump it up a bit (voltage) for faster injector response.. Might make it a bit easier to run larger injectors without most of the side effects, seems like a great idea to me but I was wondering if anyone has tried it out yet..

Some of the ECMLink guys have been messing around with it. It basically locks the voltage seen at the injector at 18V, meaning instead of tuning multiple voltage latencies in EcuFlash, you'd set them all to a single value (since, no matter what voltage the ECU thinks it's seeing, the injectors will always be seeing constant voltage). It would seem to be a good idea, especially for the larger Ford (160lbs/1600cc) injectors.

Some details (image of instructions for a non-P&H configuration, or the peak-and-hold version), since the last time I checked, FIC didn't have it up on their webpage yet.

Couple this with a proper peak-and-hold injector driver, and you've got a pretty slick injection setup.

It is up for general release as of this week. If anyone would like the .pdf version of the info I can email it to them. Please send me a PM for that info, but basically Logic nailed it on the head.

I thought it looked pretty cool. Video and some minor information available here.

This part seems similiar to the Kenne Bell boost-a-pump that all the FORD guys use on their returnless variable voltage fuel pump setups. I would say that it is good thing to have.

this one wires into the injectors instead of the pump but yeah its kinda the same idea.

Should be a breeze to get the injectors dialed in spot on, I may just pick one of these up and see how she does..The way she goes lol

Another interesting option; basically, it's FIC's EasyTune, coupled with a peak-and-hold driver (like this or this) in a single package.

Note the voltage it runs the injectors at.

Note the price! $479

Add together the cost of an EasyTune and a proper P&H driver, and it looks about right to me.

Sorry to bump an old thread...have a question though. rather not start a new thread when there's already one up.

What if youre resistor pack doesnt have a wire that leads to a 12v feed source? what would you run your red and white wires to then?

This is for a different car application, but the user has a resistor pack on his car..it's 8wires... 4input wires; 1 for each injector wire on the ecu side....and 4 output wires; 1 for each injector wire on the injector side.

What do you go about doing for the Easytune red and white wires if you don't have a 12v source wire to splice into?

FIC's tech guy isnt at their facility for the next week, so they couldnt help..

I'm guessing it's some type of pretty basic step-up transformer with a Zener diode combo to stabilize and clamp the voltage. Obviously a few other components to smooth the voltage flat, but I'd assume anyone with a decent electronics background could probably build one of these for next to nothing. As voltage goes up, current draw increases as resistance stays the same across the injectors if you follow Ohm's Law, so the hardest part would be keeping things good with the current draw required.
