I am a relative new comer with some EE knowledge. Picked up a MY2001 about a month ago and took a major hit on MPG with new tires. I am looking for a way to get back some of those lost MPG’s (without having to go back to the OEM tires), and read everything there is about these three mods:
1. Calpod’s Forced Auto Stop (FAS)
2. Calpod’s Disable Assist/Regen switch to clutch
3. Corey’s Max-Regen switch to brake
The last two above seem simple and I will put two separate switches—a toggle for #2 and a momentary for #3.
However, I still have few questions about FAS:
- Is the “Add a circuit” approach onto the #7 fuse enough? Or, should I install a relay to cut off injector?
- If it’s latter, do you have any pictures or any diagrams (or more description) on where and how to tap the injector wires? (I don't have the Service Manual yet.)
- Does anyone have all these three switches and used them in combination? Can you use them all effectively? (I do not have m1ma.)
Thanks in advance,
JL
