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


Recommended Posts

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???

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

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??

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
