Anyone else ever hear of these things? Is this a fuel cut defencer? Is defencer a word?

Jap RX-8's are speed limited rather low (200KMH I think it was) and this basically lets you get past that limit. You can fidn them for tons of import cars to remove the top speed limiters.

from the looks of that broken translation, it sounds like it just modifies the speed sensor signals on the CAN bus. if not done properly, this may affect DSC, and due to PCM and equipment differences between JDM and US models, it may not work at all.

I was randomly wandering HKS' webpage for RX-8 stuff, and this is all I could find.
OT: Whatever happened to HKS' supposed turbo kit that was in development? Vaporware?

the guys at their SEMA booth didn't know anything about it. we all know what that means, especially when their major competitors there have installed kits at the show.

Found this on the website of HKS USA:
"FCD (Fuel Cut Defencer)
The HKS FCD is an electronic device developed to properly raise the factory fuel cut level on factory turbocharged vehicles. As modifications are made to optimize engine performance, the factory fuel cut is often triggered by higher boost levels which activate a fuel delivery cut-off as a failsafe procedure. Symptoms of fuel cut are hesitation, bogging, and/or illumination of diagnostic indicators.
The electronic signal from the FCD will raise the fuel cut level to accommodate for the additional boost without triggering fuel cut and/or an engine diagnostic light. The FCD installation is designed to be easily integrated with the VPC/F-CON or factory ECU harness."

"SLD (Speed Limit Defencer)
The HKS SLD is an electronic device designed to eliminate a vehicle’s factory speed limiter. When competing on the drag strip or a circuit track, the factory speed limiter can hinder a vehicle’s performance. The HKS SLD is available in two versions: Type-1 is generally for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission and Type-2 is generally for vehicles with automatic transmissions."

Hope that answers the questions in your original post, shelleys_man_06.

All the JDM bros want them - SLDs
We are all limited to 187Km/h. And the dumbest thing is the damn gadget is not cheap. $500SD about 300+USD. Dat's y we r all waiting for the next available ECU dat will most probably have this function + power gains instead of just this DEFENCER. Real stoopid!
