unless you press the reset button at the back of the PFC, or there's a possibility if you take it out for extended period then it may reset itself, but I haven't tried that out yet...

the unit should have a backup battery inside to store all setting (like your computer motherboard remembering what date/time after you turn it off). Eventually the backup battery will run out of power if not on the car for too long.

Can you write down all your settings as a back up.  Just wondering iof you can get to all of them via the handcontroller..?

I'm getting mine tuned by datalogit - wondering if I could get the map off the tuner in case something happens..

you can use this method however datalogit can access some of the tables that the hand controller does not allow you access to, such as airflow voltage ramp table so you can't back that up. but you can certainly copy the ign and inj maps as a last resort backup

There's a bloke a rx7 forum that is developing a piece of software similiar to the datalogit.

I've had a play with it and it looks much better than the logit.

He is currently working on a Nissan version, I believe he has completed the honda and rotor versions.

His software uses his own cable, the software is also compatible with the datalogit cable and genuine apexi cable.

It looks very promising.

EDIT: The software is able to open data files from both the datalogit and the genuine apexi fcedit or what ever its called.

The extra features on the datalogit eg airflow voltage ramp table etc - could you ask your tuner to give you a copy on a usb drive or something so if you did loose the tune you could go back to them and get them to reload it so you dont have to start from scratch.

Just wondeing if it is like a file you can store..

thanks

yeah it saves it as a file you can take home on a floppy disk etc.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
