yeah looks like it mate. I cannot move forward with the PFC anymore.. I have learnt all i need to know about PFC's.. time to move onto bigger and better things.

haha know that tune well, changing ecu's is always part of evolution and can only ever increase ones skillset.

My car is a car of two halves...

engine... sound system...

Reckon you can tune my subs and see if you can beat the kws I'm getting out of it? :P

just make sure that...

KW > dB

nothing worse than seeing a car with more dB than KW

that would be hard out of a skyline seeing as how the world record is about 180db...

But I'm working on it, don't worry :P

My sound system actually has 3kw of power... pretty weird to think about :D

Yeah... i got many years ahead of me before i catch you trent :P

On your current setup will you be able to go further by just changing the ECU? Where exactly is the PFC falling short?

Yes... The PFC is a great ecu. and it can do my power levels and much more. but seeing that i like to play nutty professor i need something that is more flexible to my needs.

I still love power fc's they are great. But this ecu came up and its time to make the switch, ive delayed it long enough. Hope it all works out.

ecu will be told when its in and working :kiss:

Yeah but WHAT ECU have you changed to???

We're all dieing to know, I'm surprised no-one has asked yet or did I miss something..........

well what ever it is (and ive got a bit of an idea what it could be if Dirt is involved)

you need to post the obligatry anti-lag flames out the exhaust video once uve got it all working haha

but seriously hope it all goes well,

im keen to see how she tunes up, differences you notice, and how all those new features work

ohhh i can do that now with my current setup.. Gizzmo launch controll FTW

GT from what I can see PFC's are fine for doing most of the things that users need in a programmable EMS .

I suppose more specialised uses (ALS/Launch etc) they're a bit limited but for what I want it'll do the job .

Things like the ability to self learn would be useful and I can see this feature becoming more and more important with the way emissions laws are going . If the systems can be made to self tune from basic maps then thats the hardest part for the end user solved .

BTW are you going to continue on with a mass air sensor or are you going to the dark side with an electric barometer ? LOL .

Cheers A .

BTW what system is the EPA using to analyse the exhaust gas , ages ago I remember reading that there is a method of shining a particular kind of light through the gas and by measuring the beam on the other side its possible to see the different levels of certain gasses .

im going over to the dark side mate. I am pretty sure with this ECU i can add a MAF if the MAP sensor pisses me off (this is a very good quality ecu so apparently this will not happen)

As for how the IM240 machine works at the RTA, i have NO idea.

But i do know how the machine reads, what it reads for and whats acceptable levels for whatever car.. I also know what levels are high medium and low when doing the dummy IM240 tests on the dyno instead of the guesswork i have been using previously.

Should be tuning another car for emissions very soon.

Good to see your dropping the Power FC finally.

Once you have the scope of something better you'll never look back. Id asume what ever your going to be using will be TPS/Map correction like the E11?

Generally I have only ever seen the RTA use a proper 5 gas analiser very similar to the Coda unit that anthony has access to.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
