so, thanks again paul. I un ticked all the settings and now parameters are shown in the commander.

regards.

the only problem is that now it starts but after 1 or 2 seconds i t dies :ermm:

After any change it was running good.

But, if i crank it and keep pressing and depressing the gas very quickly, it stays at 4000 RPM. It runs very weird ant extremely rich. And as soon as i stop pressing the gas it dies.

could it be beacause of the unlock i did?

thanks.

i would do this

save your tune

make sure you have a copy of it

make sure you have a backup of the copy

DATA INIT the EVO PFC

restart the car

do a READ ALL in datalogit and save the stock maps

then compare those to what you have, it might be something simple

doing a data init would save the MAP sensor settings?

BTW, is it possible that the problem i'm having is due to a ECU issue?

Thanks.

no, when you do a DATA INIT, it will erase the entire tune back to defaults

the default map will be what apexi set the standard map on the EVO PFC to

hmmm....

so i'll have to use the map calibration saved in the map.

Thanks a lot paul, i'll try this and let you know if i get any good result.

BTW, what is that about a Tuner String???

Edited by chip

send us your saved datalogit tune, ill check it vs the stock evo maps

the tuner is string is from apexi fc pro and datalogit

its used to tag features in datalogit, ie anti lag and other junk

ignore it

So this is a power fc PRO???

Thanks.

no, the term FC Pro is misleading by apexi. its covered in the powerfc faq in my sig

FC Pro is software apexi use to tune powerfc's.

the 1st generation of powerfcs were only tunable by the hand controller

the 2nd generation of powerfcs were plastered with silver "FC PRO" stickers on the side of the case and were tunable by the hand controller and software apexi made (and later sold to the public). the software is apexi fc pro and it lets you connect it to your computer / laptop.

the common misconception is that any powerfc that has the original silver "FC Pro" sticker on the side of the case meant that is an Apexi PowerFC Pro unit. this meant it contained 0km/h launch control and spark cut instead of fuel cut. The silver "FC pro" sticker acctually indiciates that you can connect it to the apexi's FC Pro software

Paul, thank you VERY MUCH mate.

I did the data init and it started great. It tooked some time for idle to settle down but it's runing great.

Map sensor scaling seems to be working fine.

No i just need to tune it.

Once again, thank you indeed.

PS: If i need more help i'll contact you :)

now that the car is working etc, you should be able to open your old tune in datalogit and do a WRITE ALL

to put the tune back to its previous unlocked state

it may be a datalogit bug where unlocking certain tunes mangles stuff

but the tune itself is OK, so if you save it, DATA INIT, write the tune back its all OK

if you have unstable idle read the PFC FAQ For self install

theres a 30 min self idle you are supposed to do when you do DATA INIT

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
