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

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
