From what I know, you can't store more than one map in the ECU, I think Hamish carry laptop containing both 98 oct and E85 tune and transfering via PFC datalogit.

I'm sure Hamish will correct me if I'm wrong.

data logit wont work on a mac i dont think... fek..

go kill yourself kadir.

Can't switch tunes on PFC, need Data Logit or FC Hako - Paul will tell you more about this, or Google it. Be surprised if it doesn't work with Mac. Or just shell out $200 for a small/cheap laptop...

Yes. Just beat my PB at the Island from April by .5 of a second after being set back by a traumatic crash in October. In an exhausted state as well!

Now down to 1:46.3 oooooooh rah! Only ten more seconds to go :D

Congrats, maybe it was me and the supplements :P

Yeah, I think one of these macbooks with intel core can run mac/windows xp.

Might be a option.

BTW, is this at Dromana on the pics?

yeah you need winblows to run datalogit

and fc hako is a cable only solution, so you use the fc hako cable with datalogit or apexi's software

again all windows based

you could buy a crap old dell lattitude laptop off ebay for 200 with a true serial port and run win98

many people do that for car based serial connection thingies (i sold my datalogit kit with a dell win98 laptop)

cool thanks..

i can install windows as a secondary system on the mac..

will i need the datalogt module to use it? or is it just a pfc to usb cable??

yep you can try running it inside an emulated windows

as long as it can speak to a serial port it should be fine

datalogit expects a serial port, and doesnt understand usb

so as long as whatever you use, appears as COM serial port, it will work (or should)

datalogit is software and a cable

fc hako is a cable

datalogit is software and a cable

depending on what software you try to use, will determine what cable you use

or vice versa

if you have an apexi legit cable, you must use their software

if you have datalogit cable, you can use datalogit

if you have an fc hako cable you can use any software

grant

as long as it (the pc or laptop or mac or windows or linux or solaris or beos) can speak to a serial port it should be fine

datalogit (and the others) expect a serial port, and don't understand usb

so as long as whatever you use, appears as COM serial port, it will work (or should)

datalogit ships with a USB cable and so does FC hako

but all that this cable does is provide a USB serial port

datalogit and apexi fc pro etc don't know native USB speak

they just assume its a COM serial port and hope for the best

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
