Just INSTALLED an EFIE - BrightGreen FeverBuster
Finally got a chance to install the FeverBuster!!! About time, but I still have to adjust/tune it. I have it installed in my center dash compartment underneath my radio. The dial adjusts it from 0mv to a little shy of 400mv. I just dialed it in to about 200mv until I get on the highway and check if the scan gauge reads any improvement. Hopefully it will and I won't have to wait until a fill. I tried to make the wiring and install as factory looking as possible (so the dealership doesn't question or take note of it/as not to void my factory warranty) and the compartment hides it well. Hope to get a couple tanks with just the EFIE (will TRY to hold off on any other mods/additives), then I will be trying a few oz. of Acetone with it.

Since the ScanGauge does not use the short/long term fuel trims, I don't think it is registering the effect of the EFIE. CarloSW2 |

Oh, I definately will be trying to calibrate it (Today) like they suggest. I was just eluding to the possibility, previously mentioned by CarloSW2, that the scan gauge may not show an improvement (thus making it impossible to calibrate it according to the instructions). I should know soon enough.
They did just update the calibration instructions (in the link you posted)...https://www.brightgreen.us/feverbus.htm...they are slightly different than what I have. I will utilize the updated instructions. Thanks! :) |
Well, just got done with over two hours of test runs to calibrate the EFIE. My daughter wasn't the happiest camper (drafted her to help me).
After punching the numbers into excel, I have come to the conclusion that either a more controlled calibration method is needed or that the scan gauge is not reading the mileage improvements as CarloSW2 had stated. I was hoping for results that showed a constant increase/decrease in conjunction with the millivolt reading/input. My calibration tests consisted of 17 runs approximately 4 miles each (one way, then the other). I took the average of each run and I had adjusted the dial 20mv per run (0 to 320mv). Out of all the numbers...the best run was at 240mv. I recieved no check engine light until I was completed the testing (I guess it didn't like the 320mv run :o ). I recieved a P2097 code which states 'Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System High Limit'. The Post Cat O2 sensor obviously did not like what it was seeing. I wonder if it is trying to compensate (or is) for the precat o2 readings. I conclude that more testing must be done, but for the time being, I will dial the EFIE to approx. 240mv and check with the next fill up. I will try again next week with calibration. |

I KNOW for a fact that the fuel trim tables of my OBDII Chevy WILL compensate for the readings from the cat-back o2 sensor. Which is why I will incorporate 2 EFIE's into my particular system. Gotta make the system completely blind.
