power fc soon.....!!!!!

[Guest lixid]

going to get my power fc in about a week time, so exited.

anyone have any idea that i can get, out of it??(power increase)

what are the things that i have to look at, when i tune it..

well for stock turbo, internal... will it be the end? can't go futher no more? unless i change turbo or so on???

[franks]

id like to know some of your results too, pls keep us posted....

who are you going to get to tune it?

[uLa32]

i got an extra 40kw at all 4. and boost/engine responsiveness is way more better as well.....plus fuel economy (hehe) improved too.

[franks]

lixid, how do u expect to tune your powerfc and car effectively if you dont have a dyno? i mean there is always a road tune, but you just have sooo many different variables to look out for - how can you effectively tune a car whilst watching what the taxi in front of you is doing?

I think, spend the money on a decent workshop (i know this is hard to find) and be done with it. Your better off getting it done properly first time and not have to worry about it ever again.

My new ride comes within 8 weeks or so. I can't wait. PowerFC and front mount to go in, 40 and 60kw atw is a fantastic result guys! who did your tuning???

[two40]

30-40 rwkw is a good gain so you should be happy with that.

dyno is just getting a result. dyno tune is more costly as it can take a while.

i just got mine tuned at bd4's and it cost me around $270. it can be more and it can be less depending on level of tune. i'd say yours will cost more as they will have to start from the begining remaping everything.

and, no a dyno tune is not necessary as the pfc comes with a basic map but i'd advise you get it to make most of the pfc. otherwise what's the point of getting pfc in the first place

[two40]

i got 60rwkw but that's cause it had heaps of other mods and i suspect they kinda rigged the as driven in figures

franks, dude that was my old avatar.

[Guest lixid]

ONARUN

my car looks the same as yours....

you got 60!!!!! that's alot man... i wish i can get 30-40kw out of it.

well

i will go to one of my friend's workshop, which i usually go for service and mods.

he doesn't have a dyno stuff. so it's hard to say how much power increase exactly. and i don't know how much rwkw i have now.

where do you guy usually go for dyno. and how much???

and when you people say dyno. do you mean dyno tune. or just get a result.....

is a dyno tune necessory???

by the way, how you guy put the little pic under you name??

[JiMb0]

Is fitting a PFC easy ? I'm looking at getting a second hand PFC soon hopefully ....

i go to bd4's. just got one done for $270 and that was a light tune.

dyno tune is necessary once you get pfc to get the most out of it. otherwise don't bother with it.

yours will cost more than $270 i think as they'll need to remap most everything whereas mine was just a tweak.

j, as they say, it's plug and play

[JiMb0]

a poet too ?

Kool, so I just gotta take that kick panel out, take out my ord and stick in the new .... *yey*

[Neil]

No way Jimbo,,,,,Unless you can get the 2nd hand one to go back to factory defualts. If it keeps it's memory from the last car,,,you'll have to get it tuned to yours. Onarun told me his kept it's memory when his battery went flat and had to change it.

[JiMb0]

Oh, sorry, I meant just in terms of installing thats all I'd have to do .... I'd then promptly be taking it to Hills to have it dyno tuned. Just wondering if I'd have to pay them to dyno tune and install, or just the tune

It looks like I'll be able to get one with a hand controller for about $1000, which is a bargain.

[Neil]

Jimbo,,,Get Hills to install it,,,,much safer,,,you don't know what settings the last owner had. The Dyno is the be all and end all of a PFC.

Does he have 2,,,,$1000 for the puter and controler is real cheap buddy.

Neil.

[Blitz]

Jimbo: thats seriously cheap for a PFC AND controller.Make sure there is nothing wrong with it before you buy it.

Good second PFC's alone are going for significantly more than that.....if its all good then good score mate

I will be getting a Power FC after the next round of exterior mods on my car. woohoo

[JiMb0]

Out of interset guys, if I get a Power FC I won't require an AVC-R or a boost controller will I ? Doesn't the Power FC do all that jazz ?

[XrSiSt]

Nopez, theres an add on for boost controller. but many people

buy the AVCR cause it's got more functions if i recall correctly...

and looks the part too....

[JiMb0]

Cool, so I should buy a Power FC and AVC-R then and this wouldn't just be wasting $$$ ?

[Guest lixid]

hey guys

i got my power fc fitted and dyno tuned tonight

198.9rwkw

it's not bad right??

i feel the car run more smoothly, and speed goes up pretty quick.

but the thing is before power fc in, it is 197rwkw already, is there somthing wrong?? i don't know.......

[Neil]

Nah man that doesn't sound right.....a gain of 2 kw's,,,after having a Factory ECU (I am assuming)...no something suss....197 rwkw with those mods is way to High....

[franks]

was the 197kw run done on the:

same boost?

same dyno?

same day?

same operator?
