power fc soon.....!!!!!


Recommended Posts

lixid, how do u expect to tune your powerfc and car effectively if you dont have a dyno? i mean there is always a road tune, but you just have sooo many different variables to look out for - how can you effectively tune a car whilst watching what the taxi in front of you is doing?

I think, spend the money on a decent workshop (i know this is hard to find) and be done with it. Your better off getting it done properly first time and not have to worry about it ever again.

My new ride comes within 8 weeks or so. I can't wait. PowerFC and front mount to go in, 40 and 60kw atw is a fantastic result guys! who did your tuning???

30-40 rwkw is a good gain so you should be happy with that.

dyno is just getting a result. dyno tune is more costly as it can take a while.

i just got mine tuned at bd4's and it cost me around $270. it can be more and it can be less depending on level of tune. i'd say yours will cost more as they will have to start from the begining remaping everything.

and, no a dyno tune is not necessary as the pfc comes with a basic map but i'd advise you get it to make most of the pfc. otherwise what's the point of getting pfc in the first place

ONARUN

my car looks the same as yours....

you got 60!!!!! that's alot man... i wish i can get 30-40kw out of it.

well

i will go to one of my friend's workshop, which i usually go for service and mods.

he doesn't have a dyno stuff. so it's hard to say how much power increase exactly. and i don't know how much rwkw i have now.

where do you guy usually go for dyno. and how much???

and when you people say dyno. do you mean dyno tune. or just get a result.....

is a dyno tune necessory???

by the way, how you guy put the little pic under you name??

i go to bd4's. just got one done for $270 and that was a light tune.

dyno tune is necessary once you get pfc to get the most out of it. otherwise don't bother with it.

yours will cost more than $270 i think as they'll need to remap most everything whereas mine was just a tweak.

j, as they say, it's plug and play

No way Jimbo,,,,,Unless you can get the 2nd hand one to go back to factory defualts. If it keeps it's memory from the last car,,,you'll have to get it tuned to yours. Onarun told me his kept it's memory when his battery went flat and had to change it.

Oh, sorry, I meant just in terms of installing thats all I'd have to do .... I'd then promptly be taking it to Hills to have it dyno tuned. Just wondering if I'd have to pay them to dyno tune and install, or just the tune ;)

It looks like I'll be able to get one with a hand controller for about $1000, which is a bargain.

Jimbo,,,Get Hills to install it,,,,much safer,,,you don't know what settings the last owner had. The Dyno is the be all and end all of a PFC.

Does he have 2,,,,$1000 for the puter and controler is real cheap buddy.

Jimbo: thats seriously cheap for a PFC AND controller.Make sure there is nothing wrong with it before you buy it.

Good second PFC's alone are going for significantly more than that.....if its all good then good score mate ;)

I will be getting a Power FC after the next round of exterior mods on my car. woohoo

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
