Hey guys I have a question about the power fc that i couldnt find an answer to.

I recently bought a second hand power fc and was told by the guy that had it that my car wouldnt run on it (he had monster turbo, cams, injectors etc).

So heres my dilema, If i reset the power fc, will it go back to the base map they are purcahsed with (fingures crossed)?

or will I have to find someone who has the map saved so I can download it?

The reason I am doing this is so I can check everything is ok before making the 6 hour drive to my nearest tuner. :D

Thanks for any help.

yeah can reset it back to original settings no worries. SHould never run a tune from one car on another, no matter how similar or different the engine mods are. always start a tune frlom scratch.

you will be fine to reset it, plug it in, and drive to ur tuner. just make sure you follow the instructions. do a serch for power fc, paulr33 has done a hgell of a write up on them on here.

Too easy, just bounce it and your away. Rem not to load the car up till tuned.

I know when i fitted mine, even before tunning it was a fair deal more responsive down low, as it had a lot more ignition then stock... which coulda been an issue if thrashed on a hot day, with bad fuel etc.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
