Power Fc Pro

[T-u-R-b-O]

hi guys,

this thread is targeted at people that own/have experience with power fc's...

i have a PFC Pro installed on my s13 running RB25DET... now i am sure that all PFC "PRO" models have L/C ... this should be found by selecting "REV LIMIT" and then hitting the "NEXT" button...

but when i try to get to it, it simply doesnt work... i press "NEXT" , arrow right and all possible keys (that i know of ) and nothing happens...

What am I doing wrong now??

here is a pict taken of my installed and running PFC...

thanks in advance

boooing...

here's a pict of the menu where the launch control "should" be set:

so heeeellllppp

what if u press the right arrow to edit the RPM value and then try NEXT ?

[T-u-R-b-O]

did that paul... it just didnt work... i have read in a few forums that this is the way to do it... but the solution is/was so simply that it hurts my brain

it's the one below engine REV -the one set to 4000- - silly huh?

i have no idea whether this is normal for the PFC to have it displayed there, but this is where its on mine... i changed it down to 2000 rpm just to be on the safe side, and it kept the revs on 2000 ... no clue WTF those silly japanese call it A/C ??

anyway, thats the solution and it sounds ILL !!!

the FC A/C and FC A/C (both of them) are idle settings used for when the A/C is on in the car. Each setting is for voltage load and no voltage load ie: lights on and demister. Those settings on the normal FC are 1100 and 1000 respectively so that the idle is slightly higher when you have the aircon and lights on etc.

So I'm wondering if the Pro version simply just has the aircon switch always on, what does it show under SENSOR/ SW CHECK ? How do you select when this "alternate" idle setting is active instead of the normal 700RPM idle?

i will check tomorrow night and let u know paul... but strange that they have put it under A/C right?

[paulr33]

no problems. thanks. i guess they just wanted to add that feature with as little as effort as possible. would have been helpful if they had of renamed the menu item. so how do you select when the higher idle is to be active ?

[T-u-R-b-O]

this is more simple... its just by the IDLE A/C off/on ... there i can choose what revs i want the car to idle when warm...

but since i have the RB25 wired in my s13, i made a compromise between when A/C is ON or OFF because i skipped the ECU when wiring the A/C... so currently i am happy with 870 as idle...

normal fc users cant set the fc a/c on/off values higher but with datalogit they can. i will test some time this week if the same functionality is achieved by editing the rpm value with datalogit and then manually activating the aircon relay without turning the aircon on
