Fc-tune Powerfc Laptop Software


Recommended Posts

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.

I would love to know where this can be done...

do you have any leads at all?

no idea sorry. the guys in the US (on rx7club.com) seem to be able to contact apexi fairly easily and ask for stuff done and when stuff will be release. the evo guys (evolutionm.net) have been asking apexi quite a bit when the evo9 model will be ready and they get rough dates back as apposed to no answer or being ignored

I'll be testing for the R32 soon. :)

Is there a more recent version than .54 available? I've had a peek and see that I can't just copy maps from the software to Excel. Not sure about back....

Please send me a link to the latest if you can.

Cheers,

Dan

I just had a little play on mine, it still doesn't appear to fully support the AP Engineering PFC.

Give it a shot on the newer pfc's as they use a different read/write method.

The advantage of FC-Tune is its ability to provide higher resolution logs, as many of you may know who have had a fiddle with the datalogit is its logging ability is a tad slooow.. From memory it was just under 2samples per second.

This interface is brilliant. To get the wideband o2 readings on it, would you need to get a proper wideband o2 kit (like SK built), or the datalogit box? Or does the connector come with extra imputs like the datalogit?

    • Trail braking done right, should have the rear unsettled, such that you're actually turning the car by a noticeable amount WITH the brakes, and hence noticeably less steering input.
    • No you don't. Just no more driving in the wet, and clean your window manually before you drive
    • I'm not sure if they tick your boxes, but Haltech would be my pick. I'm an Adaptronic guy from way back, and Haltech acquired Adaptronic to basically get Andy, AND his IP on how he does things like fuel modelling etc.
    • Just on this, as there's a huge issue in your assumption Dose.   The logic you've given, is the same logic old school NA guys give for "needing back pressure" in an exhaust. If you free up an exhaust system, and keep injecting the same fuel in etc, at the same timing, you'll typically drop power. Freeing the exhaust will often make an engine want a little bit more timing, and even sometimes a little more fuel, but then it'll make even more power.   There's many mods people do and "get no extra power" when running a comparison on the same tune. Imagine a car tuned for 91, but now we say put 98 in it, see no difference. But as we now have 98 fuel, you can run more timing, and make more power, as the 91 was knock limited.   So just be very wary in your claim of "don't retune it and do a back to back and you'll see". The correct approach would be tune the car with stock manifold, swap the manifold to aftermarket, and retune it again. But no one wants to do that, and all the results we get are "this was stock, and this is manifold changed and tuned" and people put it all down as just the tune doing it.
    • Unplug ECU. Unplug TPS. Unplug boost pressure sensor. Now, all the wires, placing your ground (black) multimeter lead at the ECU end, measure resistance of the 5V line at the boost sensor plug. Then do the same to the TPS plug. Then do the same for all the other wires that relate to the TPS, or boost sensor.   All of your measurements should be very very low. You're looking to see if wiring is out of wack here.   Secondly, from memory on the R33 (not a neo motor, so I'm assuming an r34) the ground wire for the TPS and boost sensor are NOT equal to ground of the car/battery. IE, DO NOT connect ground of the sensor to the engine/body of car. You'll get a ground loop, and/or potentially screw shit up. In electronics, ground for a circuit, is not necessarily equal to ground of another circuit.   So this leads me to ask, when measuring your 5V, how are you getting 1.5V? Where are your multimeter leads touching for both the red and black lead on the multimeter?   If you're measuring power on the sensor wire, and putting ground on the car chassis or negative battery terminal, that could be all of your issues in "getting 1.5v". Electronics engineers can do some funky stuff with circuits, and when both sensors are on, it's enough laid to alter how the ECU is functioning.
