when is this Group buy starting? so its 425 if SAU order 11 units? is that to suit any engine or just RB25?

does fc datalogit come with instructions for what does what?

Only things i know is rev limit,ign and inj map lol.

[yogi000]

i'm in for $425

[MountainRunner]

The instructions are on the CD. You have to print the manual out when you get it.

Also there already is a version free one, it justs costs heaps. I know of a workshop that has it.

For those that want a look at the software, click this link, and you can actually click on the tabs etc to bring up that page of settings. Some very interesting setting in there.

Here are the features from Bl4cK32's post -

Ok, for tuning purposes the hand controller does basically the same as the datalogit. BUT there are a hell of a lot more fetures which imho make it worth the little extra...do a search and you may be suprised what you can do with it  from SK:

OK, but only the ones that you can't access via the Commander

Inlet air temp fuel map

Water temp fuel map

RPM acceleration fuel map

Cranking Injector dwell map

Water temp versus boost fuel correction

Inlet air temp versus boost fuel correction

RPM Load Point table

AFM load point table

AFM voltage table

Ignition versus water temp correction

Ignition versus inlet air temp correction

Ignition dwell versus RPM correction

Ignition versus battery voltage correction

Ignition versus boost correction

Individual injector trim

Injector lag versus battery voltage correction

Via the Datalogit there is also;

Antilag via injection

Antilag via ignition

Intercooler spray

Basically anything that you want to turn on or off

Then there is the logging

Every standard sensor is logged

Plus 4 others (eg; lambda, brake temperature, suspension travel etc etc)

as well as :

All of which are important once you reach the limitations of the stock afm/load point base map setup.

Swapping to a Z32 or VH41/Q45 AFM does zilch in its own.

Software is required.

There's also the A/C and non a/c overheat fan temp switch.

So there would be instructions about what means what such as mS,injector overlap etc.

Ive had a quick browse thought the datalogit software to suit rb25det.

I know the horizontal axis is rpm but whats the vertical axis?

[sav man]

So the Model for $425 can adjust more than one type of power fc (eg RB26 & SR20)? or is it still fixed to one model per kit(RB26 only)?

Can the FC Datalogit find a fault with the HICAS. My R33 has the light come on quite often!! Do I have to put back the stock ecu to troubleshoot it???

I don't really want to be bothered, I'm getting it datalogit tuned on Sat!!

[Ryosuke Takahashi]

sav man - I think its fixed

[paulr33]

who in vic is interested? im keen on getting one and lending it out for a small price?

[justin911]

me pls

[MountainRunner]

The $425 is the single engine version. The multi engine version is more like $2K I believe.

The manual is ok, but is still a bit vague. You do get membership into the user forum where there is lots more info and you can post questions etc.

I'll give you guys a review once we use it to tune the car. So far been only fault finding to get to the tune stage.

Yep let us know man,It'll be great to be able to "fine tune" your own engine

you're interested in getting one?

Vertical axis is Load

People, this isnt a fault finding software. Its just the laptop software to enable you to tune your car via a full screen showing the 20x20 grid instead of the 5x5 on the hand controller.

It wont help you do magic things with your car "ie diagnose HICAS" - are you serious? - its a tuning device, and should only be used by a professional tuner....not backyard tuners wanting to play with their tune and kill their car....

[sav man]

I'm thinking of getting it so my tuner can tune my car better, and to do some dataloging for trackdays. How good is the dataloging function?

And is does anyone know for sure about the multi engine vs singe engine software. Just that I got 1 yes and 1 no.

Thanks

[benl1981]

"It wont help you do magic things with your car "ie diagnose HICAS" - are you serious?"

Gee - sorry - yes I was serious. There is a whole lot of extra things you can access with the datalogit so it seems (like logging suspension travel I think someone said). The standard ECU has a diagnosis function so I thought the PFC may have one somewhere hidden.

[Bl4cK32]

Ok. Sorry if i sounded a bit harsh there. Maybe you should learn a bit more about your car before investing in some software and a cble to tune it with.

Suspension btw is no where even remotely connected to the cars ECU, or any ECU. Yes, there are 3 diagnostic modes the car has. 1 for the ecu itself, one for Hicas (has its own ecu) and the aircon has its own diagnostic mode.
