Two quick questiosn for ppl that own a Pfc.

1. If i removed the ECU from the car for 24hrs, then plug it back in, will it still (guaranteed?) have the tune in it. I imagine it doesnt default back to base maps?

I ask because i want to get my car dyno'd with my Jap ECu to compare how it goes, as seat of the pants feels the same but with far worse fuel economy...so just want to see / compare the two ECUs and want to be sure that i wont wipe the PFC tune doign so.

2. When the car went into the workshop with std ECU and functioning low fuel light. Car came back with PFc installed and tuned and now the light doesnt work, but the fuel pump to the best of my knowledge was not touched?

Coincidence...i cant see how the fuel light is related to ECU, especially since i suspect the light is operated off the voltage signal from the float in the tank????? but before i start ripping things apart and checkign them all, thought id see if other ppl have had similar experiences

ive had my r32 with the power fc sitting in it roy with no battery at all in the car for over a week...same as having it out the car.....and it dont forget Roy :(

Interesting about the low fuel light....i havent seen it come on either with my pfc installed too....probably cos im too scared to let it get too low now with me bosch pump :P

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
