Hi all

Have just got my hands on a brand new Power FC (the new releases that Apexi have bought out) and it seems to work fine in the car, but will not let FC-Edit talk to it. I get an error something like:

'FC-Edit is unable to communicate with RB25DET version 7'

It then performs a scan and saves it as a file. I've sent this off to the FC-datalogit guys, but I'm a bit unsure how that is going to turn out as I have inherited the FC-Edit I own and am using an FC-Hako. I'm more then happy to register it and pay for software rights etc, but just waiting to see what the outcome is

Just wondering if any of the shops/tuners have come accross this yet and if there has been a fix provided yet

Hopefully it will help out others in my position also as I couldnt really find any information on this when I searched for it. I've plugged the new power FC in and I'm keen to be on Version 7.00 and not have to go back to my version 2.20E unit :P

For those of you playing at home

you need FC-Edit version 2.130k for the new Power FC's to talk to FC Edit :)

The guys at FC-Datalogit were very helpful. So hope this helps someone out one day.

I wasnt able to just save my old map and then write all to the new PFC, but it wasnt to bad, just had to write the IGN and INJ table, then do a bit of mucking around in the settings to get them to update. Injector settings had to be changed manually but.

i had them make version 2.130 a few months back for me as quite a few new pfc's are filtering through. there is a new tps vs ign feature that wasn't always active in all versions..

  • 1 year later...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm facing the same issue

Have gone online and managed to find 2.130, have mucked around with 2.128 and 2.130 for 2 hours now but we're still getting the same error message, does anyone have a link for 2.130k?

I'm assuming the 2.130k is the one that talks to the latest Pfc right? Not the 2.130?

Yep you need V2.130k or newer (if they have made a newer version since then)

I think I just emailed them and they just sent me the new version. With FC-Edit when you try and connect it makes some sort of .dat file (should notify you it is doing this because of incompatible version etc) and sent that off to them and they emailed me back the new copy of FC-Edit. Not sure if it will work for you, you may need to provide proof that you own the software. But worth a try

Thanks mate

unfortunately it's not my datalogit. With so many plug-in options recently like nistune or adaptronic etc, my tuner hasn't come across any r33s with the latest PFC.

he did shoot off the .dat file to datalogit, but the fc datalogit team normally takes around 1 mth to get back to his emails, so I'm just trying to see if there are quicker ways to get access.

we also tried logging into his datalogit yahoo group, but his ID has since been unregistered.

Anyway thanks at least we know he definitely needs the 2.130K and 2.130 won't work

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
