Mmmmmm datalogging :rant:

Just waiting on the call for when the dyno is free. There's a race buggy on it and it gets priority as it is racing this weekend, which I'm happy enough waiting for as I have plenty of times spent my hard earned on race entry fees and worked until a few hours before to make it.

gtrken, to use the laptop software, did you have to use a specific dongle? what sort of connection is it? a serial to PS2 cable or something? could you post pics of the dongle?

FC Datalogit is your friend..... :rant:

Cheers

Hey Vics,

Have done a search but can't find any specific info - was just wondering how much it costs to tune a Power FC?  

I was hoping around the $200 mark at somewhere like ICE, is this enough??

thanks

Dude, the only way you are going to find out is to call them

does that mean everytime you add for example an intercooler or change your setup in some form or manner, you are looking at $500 to re-tune?

I doubt it, I imagine it's initially more expensive to set up all of your map's properly and once this is done, addition of a bolt on like a FMIC should only need a bit of "tweaking"!

When someone does an initial tune, do they use the base map which is provided with the PowerFC and then tweak that?

Would the base map on the PowerFC need a lot of tweaking for the usual mods like exhaust, intercooler and a bit more boost??

Can the base map settings in the powerFC be retrieved if it is a second hand one (can it be reset)???

When the PowerFC first comes there is a basic map to get the car started so the tune can be performed. Any experienced FC tuner can just sit there and edit these values to get a very basic tune then dyno run it a couple of times and tweek it to get it perfect.

Yes add values can be be cleared. There is a data clear function in settings.

Adjustments and retunes would not cost the same as the inital setup. All you'd be paying for is the dyno time so it would be a lot cheaper.
