The F-Super / Formidable Instruction Manual

File:F Super Formidable Manual.pdf

A frequently asked question is "Can F-Super re-code my injectors?"

The answer depends on the build date of your car.

Cars with build date 06/2003 and later (i.e. 3Y) can have their injector codes written to and read from the PCM by F-Super but earlier cars cannot.

To determine your car's build date check the boxes 11 and 12 on your VIN label.

MAP, BARO and Boost Pressure

F Super is very good but the Live Data screen has some problems with the stated units:

MAP has units of kPA but the actual values shown in the F Super window need to be multiplied by 10 to be correct. (e.g. At rest the MAP should just read atmospheric pressure which is about 100 kPa but F Super reads 10 kPa)

Likewise the BARO reading in F Super should normally read about 1000 mb (millibars) but actually displays about 100 mb.

So, if you wanted to know what your Boost Pressure was:

Boost pressure in psi = ((10xMAP) - BARO) / 6.895

e.g. If the MAP is reading 23 in F Super and BARO is reading 100 we can say that the boost pressure is:

230 - 100 = 130 kPa. i.e. 18.85 psi

1 bar = 100 kPa.

1 psi = 6.895 kPa.
