PFC Base settings

[Guest INASNT]

My power fc is waiting for me at the post office!

I wanna know if the base ignition and fuel maps prgrammed in on the pfc will be better or close to the settings i have my my s-afc as i want to pull my safc out and sell it??

[Guest INASNT]

I am also interested in how much you can drive away with the base settings....

ive heard baaaad stories about people doing this, i.e. maps being way lean. i'd let the tuner plug it in and let them do their thing straight away, not worth the risk for the extra few $ it would cost for the time they take.

The original settings in the Power Fc is good enough to run your car around if you stay off boost. Don't line people at the traffic lights and cane your car without tuning it.

If it is a second hand Power Fc, it will have the previous owner's settings in its memory and may not suit your car at all. You can reset this back to the original settings if you wish.

The Power Fc comes with a basic tune to make the actual tuning process hell of a lot easier; not to plug and run without tuning.

yup. i couldn't get onto boost with base settings.

if i did, the the check engine light would come on (non audible detonation i suspect) and when i stopped and started the car again it would sound like the engine was blown and idle all over the joint.

install it and take it to your friendly powerfc tuner.

The base settings are good to drive you to a PowerFC tuner.

looks like i will unplug the s-afc for now and run with the stock comp till the rest is installed and then i will get the pfc tuned.
