lol is there some sort of anti lag and launch control feature?

I wish..

f**k I just read it... Its madness, this guy is a god.

Do you have a link to the latest build? Save me wading through 400 posts.

And he's even considering launch control and antilag...

Hmmm.. their database looks as solid as SAU's :)

Hi ppls,

I've been following the development of FC-Tune for quite some time now.

It appears its finally on its last stages of development.

Here...

and look at this nice little piece

I've made sure FCTune works with the R32 RB20DET powerfc's. :thumbsup:

If those who have other power fc models which to make it work simply download 0.53 or 0.54 beta release and perform a scan with the datalogit box hooked up.

Post it to him and hopefully you should receive an email stating its all a.o.k. :)

Very Impressive

andre is busy adding features and making it work. a new version is scheduled to come out in a week 0.55 (current is 0.54). i am not sure when rb25det will be supported (or rb26). he seems more intested in honda (as he has one with him and rx7 also). so they get priority i would assume. he has also redone the interface in fc tune to be around the styles of the new office 2007 layout and pictures.

the fc tune is designed as a multi ecu tune software, he plans to support autronic and other ecu's later on.

the box/cable dongle he will be selling he plans to offer flash upgrades for it. it will work with kashima's dongle/cable and fc datalogit versions also and his own.

andre has also made some custom devices for the powerfc (and his interface) but they are coming at a later stage. he made a DIN sized head uit that controlled his stereo, powerfc map switching and some custom guage display unit.

andre has also opened up the old powerfcs (say 2.32 pfc) and 5.1 ish versions and 7.x versiosn and found that the older one's arent flashable but the newer versions are reflashsable and have an onboard connector (he believes for apexi staff and excel tuners to change custom stuff).

i have also seen/heard of people have their stock PFC sent to apexi to rechipped as PRO version, not sure who/how/$$$ on this one and if its available.

the auto tune feature sounds very cool using wideband as real time input and its just mathematics from there onwards. IGN autotune would be fantastic and certainly possible, relying on the stock knock sensors (assuming it was safe and acceptable). i mean i rely on the stock knock sensors to IGN tune so i dont see why a computer program cant

Interesting, is there any advantage to this software over the datalogit program that most poeople use.

Is datalogic as available and free?

I will be putting together a 26/30 soon and am unsure what pfc i will buy (rb20/25/26) to run it in my r32, this software looks fantastic.

Even though i have a dyno i wont be doing the tuning so would i be better off just going to a place with the datalogit and getting them to tune it.

Sorry if slightly off topic, Mick

Ive found datalogit software buggy, unreliable and generally sucky.

The interface is crap, if you load the software and hit enter with nothing else it loads a stock tune directly on your powerfc (assumiing its plugged in).

The logging is a bit strange (basic + advanced, why two??)

It certainly does function, and offer what is promiseb but IMHO its a very poor attempt and the VB code sucks, worst environment ever.

FC Tune is done in high level C so its portable between platforms and PDA's etc are supported.

You don't need FC Tune/Datalogit but the main advantages are;

Able to edit AFM ramp (useful if using Z32,Q45 and want to rescale it).

Able to save/load tunes

Can do map tracer plotting a sensor. ie: Knock Map which plots knocking values (either min,max,avg) onto a Map Tracer window so you can see what cells knock more than others

Can do tune compare between .dat files

I've done wideband tuning on the road and IGN tuning on the road without doing it via datalogit but it was easier to IGN timing adjustments with datalogit and knock map cos i could easily spot. i found it a little cumbersome using the stock map tracer and watching for engine check light to inidicate high amounts of knock. it was also much more easier when seeing areas that didnt knock much, or very low.

Fc tune is certianly the preferred and ideal one to use, I cant wait for it to be done for RB25

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
