I HAVE READ THE FAQ..........

Ok i went down and wrote down all the values from my ign and ijn maps, my water temp info, and a few other screens. (when my power fc was installed they didnt do the idle self learn so it hunts) So i want to init my power fc and re enter the values. is there anything i need to be careful about when doing this (and any particulars)......

if you dont complete the idle learn it wont idle, make sure you have enough fuel and time to complete the idle self learn

make sure it idles correct whilst doing the self learn procedure, ie: if its hunting while learning it will be shagged and wont learn

make sure you dont drive or rev it while self learning.

note you will loose all injector, IGN, INJ, airflow, water temp, correction values. so be sure to note them down if you have diff injectors, cams, airflow meter etc.

Is there some documentation from APEX regarding idle relearn proceedure because it should only take 30 seconds at the most for each idle condtion. I'm still a little skeptical on tihs whole 10min AC off then 10min AC on or what ever it is.

i was too, and i tried it, let it idle for 30 seconds and skipped the rest. as soon as i rebooted the car and drove it again it would instantly stall after starting.

the manual clearly states the 30 minute idle procedure with A/C and demister

the first time i did DATA INIT was when i had datalogit and no one locally had the stock apexi default maps and settings so i thought bugger it, ill save my settings, DATA init and then copy the defaults in case anyone wants them. whilst i was doing the data init i thought to myself is this 30 minute crap necessary? and skipped it and began driving. once i rebooted the car it wouldnt idle and would install instantly. so i had to do it again :D

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
