PolarStar Fusion Engine FCU Settings: The Basics

[@josephz1103]

Waiting for mine from you guys hopefully this week!

[@DeltaThreeOne]

no lie i still kinda need this 🌚 ive had my fusion for a LONG ASS TIME, but i only knew a bit, but its nice to have some little more help

[@brennandunn3985]

Will ROF or rF wear down the gun faster if you don’t have the settings correct? Or will it wear it down faster no matter the settings except the rF being higher?

[@BigBoiCQB]

my jack polarstar engine is triple and double feeding every now and then and i want to know how to fix it

[@rafbassplayer]

This is the next best thing to slice bread

[@anthonyg7442]

Thanks man this was very helpful and great vid👌🏼

[@droneimagination9534]

i recently bought my polar star jack and when i shoot semi it shoots 1 bb at a time but without doing anything it goes it to 4 round burst which is a my auto setting

[@MrMarco9191965464654]

Is it the same with jack's FCU? many thanks

[@TubNastyRacing]

Thx so much this helped a bunch 10/10

[@Chigga_airsoft]

Thx for this video it helped me a lot

[@MarineSharpshooter13]

How do you turn on the FCU? I plug on my buffer tube sized lipo (fully charged) and nothing appears on the lcd. Is the fcu broken? Or the lipo?

[@eldinko83]

Jonathan G im 5 years late but for fusion engines it should automatically turn on. It it doesnt, a wire might be off or the fcu might just be broken

[@Zodiac83104]

my p* jams a lot. and I got a different hop up and bucking but it still jams and I have a v3 p* and the tech said try changing your settings on the fcu. what should I change in the fcu??

[@Rambtw]

Andrew McKinnis maybe your rps is too high ?

[@lokischildren8714]

How do you adjust the FPS on a polarstar engine

[@madladhobson]

with hpa you just adjust the pressure on the tank regulator that increases or decreases fps

[@charleslawrence2878]

Can you power the FCU with an nihm battery? (It's just that I was thinking of getting a polarstar but have never used lipo batteries before and I don't really want to get a lipo charger, plus I know nothing about how to use lipo's.)

[@thepeacekeepersairsoftteam4124]

Lipos work the exact same as a nihm battery except it has an extra cable for charging and the normal connector cable. Way more positives too like faster rof, longer battery life and faster charging. Plus a lot more I highly suggest using a lipo. If you’re gonna invest in a polar star you might as well invest in a lipo

[@Toolie716]

This the same for Gen 3 V2 Polarstar Fusion Engine? Mine is on the way

[@iancelemin4441]

Hi! How i’m gonna do the factory reset of my tune? Thanks

[@ryanchung476]

thank you for this video! :) So if i purchase a fusion engine for my AEG, what else do i need to get it running? I already have tank, reg, and line. Would a 7.4 1000MaH lipo be fine also?

[@AmpedAirsoft]

No problem! If you already have your tank, reg, and line, then all you need is a JST wired Battery. We recommend the 7.4v Mini Lipos shown here: ampedairsoft.com/zippy-7-4v-350mah-2s-20c-mini-lipo/ However, the 7.4v 1000mah will work too as long as it's JST wired. If you do not have JST connector on your battery, we do have the following adapter that will also work for you: ampedairsoft.com/amped-custom-jst-battery-side-to-mini-male-tamiya-adapter/ If you have any other questions, please feel free to shoot us an email at [e-mail]. Thanks!

What would cause ping sound when shooting.

[@WorcesterCitadel]

Really need more clarification on how to figure out the shot count... totally confused. tried googleing calculators but still so damn confused.

[@emtbEsel]

When im adjusting my dp nothing is happening to the fps, is this a problem ?

[@noelbnetz]

Do you have any links to pages that explain what are the best fcu settings? Theres very little info on the internet that explains the best settings.

[@AmpedAirsoft]

There truly is not a "best" setting as they are gun, setup, and preference dependent. The main setting to keep in mind is dP. This affects your dwell time. If it's too high, you use more air than you need. If it's too low, it may not function correctly. Tuning this is one of the most important things to keep efficiency high.

[@noelbnetz]

Amped Airsoft thank you. Do you have any fcu advice with set ups with longer inner-barrels? Id like to make my dmr build as effective and efficient as possible.

[@AmpedAirsoft]

@@noelbnetz No problem! Yup, make your DP as low as you possibly can without sacrificing FPS or performance. It is best to do this with a chronograph. You will be able to see when your fps starts to dip as you adjust your dP downwards. Once it starts to dip, you know where you will want to stay. Go up in dP one or two and you will be set. Only fine adjustments after that point.

[@INOXOVE]

thanks , very usefull video !

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@Ryanhairgrove]

Are you going to do a gen 3 fcu video

[@AmpedAirsoft]

It's on our list. Got loooots to do, but yes.

[@MIAirsoftMr]

are polarstars still reliable at high rof like that one at 48 rounds a second?

[@AmpedAirsoft]

They are not really any less reliable, but performance concerning range and accuracy will suffer at high rate of fire. Thanks! -Robby

[@MIAirsoftMr]

thank you so much for replying. im greatly considering picking up an airsoft polarstar player package from you guys, absolutely amazing prices

[@PvpPandaMC]

+Amped Airsoft If u have a really high ROF but u are using semi will it effect accuracy, range?

[@Whyyoutrollinglikeabitch]

@@MIAirsoftMr I mean it's kinda what polarstar engines are for

[@driftjust]

So with my old fcu that I bought from someone I was able to shoot semi auto with no delay in between shots but with my new fcu the semi auto seems to have a limit of shots in between each other basically a limited rps?i put it as low as possible on it and I have a speedtrigger and it’s still limiting my shots...Any Help?

[@AmpedAirsoft]

Set your Sr setting to 0. This removes the wait time between semi shots. Copied from the manual for your reference: "Max Semi Auto ROF (Sr) - This setting controls the maximum semi auto rate of fire. Once a shot has been fired the FCU will ignore additional trigger pulls until the time in the Sr setting has elapsed. This is adjustable in 0.1ms increments from 10 shots per second (Sr 01) to as low as 1 shot every 9.9 seconds (Sr 99). Setting this to 0 turns off the timer and allows you to fire as fast as you can pull the trigger."

[@driftjust]

Amped Airsoft thx

[@AmpedAirsoft]

@@driftjust No problem!

[@CalebWheelz]

is it at all possible to run a burst setting in place of your semi auto and leave full auto at full auto

[@kurtishardy2386]

caleb wheeler sure can with the newer gen FCUs. It is your S1 and S2 setting. Please check out the latest FCU walk through on this channel. Hope this helps!

[@SirJackFlash69]

Hi, I got a 400mm, 6.23 orga barrel from amped. How many dp do you reccomend?

[@AmpedAirsoft]

This is heavily setup dependent but we recommend setting your dP as low as you are able to. Please take time to tune your dP to your liking by moving your dP up and down one by one while watching your long range shots. Notice the flight path and adjust as you like. This is the way to do it so its customized to how it works best for your setup. With tuning there is no absolute way to do it. It's all setup dependent. :) Experiment and you will be rewarded with great results.

[@SirJackFlash69]

+Amped Airsoft Thanks a lot for the quick response :-). I take my time and find out the best setting. Greetings from Switzerland

[@castcrazyapple]

Does the gun come with a jst to tamiya connector?

[@Howzine]

Nope, only $3 though

[@danielmansoor8175]

Once the FCU detects that the battery is low, will the fcu shut off? If so, does this render the gun inoperable? Can you fire the gun without the fcu?

[@LiLNuBZz]

You can't shoot without the fcu one that controls the whole engine

How do you adjust the nozzle?

[@zltoxicity8785]

Should I push it to 120 psi?

[@AmpedAirsoft]

All depends what FPS you would like. 120 PSI is typically the max operating pressure. Running at 120 PSi will not hurt it, although typically you will want to run lower so that you can get more shots out of your tank.

Going too high can burn out the gun so the suggest amount is lower than it can actually go

[@ryan-bl9tb]

Anybody have some settings that can be efficient

[@AmpedAirsoft]

Hi there! When it comes to settings, it will be rifle dependent. However, for the most part, you want to have your dP and dN setting as low as possible without compromising performance. This will cut down on the air usage. Couple that with running at a lower PSI and you are well on your way to saving air. If you want to have a super efficient Fusion Engine, we highly recommend looking into Low Flow Poppets, Poppet Shims, High Flow Nozzles (Purple Nozzle), low strength poppet/nozzle springs and S2 Lightning Banjos. Once you have these installed, the FE is easily one of the most efficient systems out there. Hope this helps! -Kurtis

[@ryan-bl9tb]

Amped Airsoft i ordered a low flow poppet red but I ordered a black nozzle

[@AmpedAirsoft]

@@ryan-bl9tb Cool. Those two are a good step in the right direction. Black nozzle will help a good bit, just not as much as a higher flow nozzle. Give it a try and see what you think! The poppet does a good deal on it's own.
