if you can find one with the right voltage and input i dont see why not

look in the PFC faq in my sig, someone found a suitable screen replacement on the rx7 forums

Better yet, get a Datalogit. Use a laptop and full size screen, and access further capabilities of the ECU.

this man is correct.

The laptop tuning side of things makes the job 1000 times easier. Seriously.

I agree that the datalogit makes it easier to dyno, but i dont want to have a laptop sitting in the car all the time. It would be good to be able to display 2 or 4 gauges on a smallish screen for easy viewing when driving.

it would be good if you get an rsm style screen for the PFC and plug it in

then you could choose between digital guages, didgital output and have it closer to the driver. the rsm is ace, if only it could show knocking

yeah ive got a busted 26 controller here

actually ive just looked at the unit in the powerfc FAQ and it looks the same as the one used in the hand controller ive got open here on my desk

the one inside the FC controller has a 20 pin connector with A and C on the right hand side like the one on the site here

http://graphic-lcd-lcds.shopeio.com/invent...b=Graphic%20Lcd

i didnt realise they had a common 20 pin connector, i thought all the crap on the back was part of the FC

it appears all the crap behind it is the logic for the LCD display. ace ill order one of those screens (out of stock) and wire it up to my working 25 controller

i wanna put it on a safc stand and have it next to my rsm, so that knock is more visible

But instead of using ECUTalk, run the PFC software on the laptop with readouts on the indash screen and only pull the laptop out for tuning purposes :laugh:

the main board for the LCD display has 3 chips on the back

all hitachi chips with

5L1

HD 5

61202TFIA

Japan

The board has SII with a black dot

also has E91964 340 in white print

REV B

G1216

B1N (in a white box)

on the underside of the backlit display i can see

020596 in big black numbers

and in small gold numbers i can see D2161

ok ive just realised

the part no the FC board is G1216

the part on the seiko site is

Seiko 128x64

G121621V000

so it sounds like the same unit

let me order one n see how we go :laugh:

The lcd needs to have the exact same controller or an equivalent as the original LCD otherwise the instruction set will be wrong and you won't get anything at all.

Because the original LCD is 128x64, you can't go any higher in resolution without going to a different controller. You might be able to go up in size but keep the same resolution but not by much.

Only way I can see you getting a larger display would be to figure out the powerFC serial protocol (datalogit and the handcontroller would use the exact same protocol) then program a microcontroller to get the data and put it on a larger display.

Is the powerFC datalogit cable USB or serial? If its serial it would have to be an asynchronous serial port. USB it could be either.

If someone has a dead powerFC I'd have a crack at it. It just so happens I have a graphic lcd in the mail :laugh:

If anyone has any electronics questions about it... just fire off a PM and I'll see what I can do

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
