SRC Actuators

[aafc]

To adjust the front actuators after the system was driven in Perf mode.
Then shut down the SRC controller by removing the controller's power.
What direction do you turn the knob to reach full tour or close to it, while
rear shocks are left in almost full Preformance mode. Also is there a
stop when you reach full or Tour settings?
This is to test front shocks with rear shocks almost in Perf. mode, at
the drag strip this weekend, (if it won't rain ).

It resets itself at start-up.

OK , but i want to leave the rear shocks in Performance mode while i adjust
the fronts to their softest setting. When i do this the SRC controller is off
line and has no control of the shocks front or rear. So my question is what
direction do i turn the gear on the shock to set it to the softest setting and
what direction ,clockwise or counter clockwise. Right now the rear shocks
appear to be firm when i push down on the rear above the rear tire. The
fronts now appear a little softer ,but how far do i turn the gear and is there
a stop at fully soft and fully firm position. Also i have no trouble codes for
the SRC system ( no power ) to the controller.

Cheap way to do this for now, or just buy new shocks front and rear such
as QA1's single adjustable to replace the Fx3 shocks (they have over
131,000 miles ). I don't think they are worn out at this time and have
never had any work done to them.

Update:
After a lot of searching on the web i found my answer about which way the
gear should be turn to go to full soft. After setting the FX3 to Performance
mode, drive car a few miles then removing the SRC controller's power.
Drove the car again and no codes appeared. Started with drivers side
removed actuator from left front shock and turned gear counter clockwise
about 60 deg. to full soft setting.This is on the front shocks only as i did not
remove the actuators from the rear shocks. Repeat this again for the
pass side. Right now the cars FX3 is set to Performance mode in rear and
Tour in front. If the weather holds this weekend i'll do some test n tune at
Orlando Speed World on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who offered their
input on this subject.

Been a bit late to this thread but the procedure above is what you do for drag racing with SRC.

Another trick is to disconnect one side of the front stabilizer bar. That also helps the car launch harder.

Best to just remove the link on one side.

It's not advisable to drive on the street with SRC set that way or the front bar link disconnected.

In post #4 i said i didn't think the shocks are worn out, but it bit me. After
setting the left front to full soft (turned gear fully counter clockwise), the
right front shock the gear just turns. One bad shock out of three, so to drive
the car on street set the left front to full Performance (clockwise) until i
replace the shocks.
To test the DIY SRC for drag racing , went to the track on Sunday Fun day
the 17th . Set front shocks to full soft rears set to full or almost full
performance mode. First pass 60 ft 1.704 1/4 mile 11.723 @117.87.
left the car in 4th gear (OD engaged) , thru lights at about 5800- 6000
rpm. Second pass 60 ft 1.722 1/4 mile 11.735 @117.50 this time 4th gear
(OD disengaged) ,thru lights at about 6000- 6200 rpm. Last pass trans set
in 3rd gear 60 ft 1.748 1/4 mile 11.738 @118.23 ,thru lights at about
6100- 6200 rpm (Spun tires off line). Did not get into 4th gear per
transmission display on any run.
So with front shocks set to full soft and rears full or almost full
performance mode, i reduced my 60 ft time almost .020 hundreds. My
60 ft time with SCR engaged in tour were 1.74 to 1.78.
no more drag racing until i replace my shocks. Front sway disconnected
on all runs. rear tires set to 26 lbs.
