* Power FC - in the works

Craved dude, without being rude, you should be buying this one today, now, RIGHT NOW! 1300 bikkies is mental!!!

Adrian

If I hadn't already pre-paid for mine I would take it for $1300 today! I paid a little less, but it's still 1-2 weeks away and I'd be willing to pay the extra to get it now now now! Anyone that's even thinking of getting a PowerFC is insane to pass this up for $1300 :(

yeah but are they the standard map from apexi or has it been tuned already?

without being rude you do realise that you will need to have it retuned to suit your car dont you..... it wont be just plug and play.....

If the car it has come off has similar mods you can probably get away with a tune similar to what has been programmed into it.

What I plan on doing with mine is taking the map that I have (for a GTS-t with similar mods to mine) and maybe adjust everything to around the halfway point between this map and stock, and see what happens.

Road tuning will be essential, but it should be a lot easier this way than having absolutely nothing to go off. Once everything is as good as I can get it, take it to the dyno and get a professional tuner to tweak it a bit more. Should cost a lot less than a full-blown tune from scratch.

Craved,

You might also want to keep in mind that Buster's hardware setup & power output is very different to yours so a full tune will probably (I reckon definately but I could be wrong) be neccesary.

p.s. this is assuming that your mods list in your sig is complete

I'd say that his level of mods would turn out that the tuning points used by brett and what he'd need wouldn't even intersect.

Sounds like it has been sold though.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
