F-con V Pro Calibration File

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

like i just said.... wolf3d can use airflow meter if you want to set it up that way.....

[paulr33]

correct but then you still have to do the basic map calibration and tuning as i dont believe it comes out of the box ready to run on an rb26 with xyz airflow meters.

or does it ?

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

wolf3d accepts an external map/maf sensor input

it regards it's own map sensor as the "internal sensor"

So all you do is wire up the afm to the external input, i don't imagine you need anything special to do this. there are 3 pins on the ecu you need to use...

-signal +5v

-signal ground

-external MAF/MAP sensor

So once you have that set up, ecu will let you choose between Internal/External for

-Primary load source

-transient sensor (to detect enrichment and enleanment on fast load changes)

not sure about 2 afm's, but you should be able to just wire up one of the afm's and change the relavent table.... nothing wrong with doing that

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

just to add.

yes you might struggle to find an out-of-the-box solution for rb26dett. checking their website, i don't think they have a kit for it, which means you'll most likely have to manually wire it up. Which would be a pain!!

in any case, i really don't see the problem with using a MAP sensor, what you and sk are saying is true, but when examining a couple of graphs i've plotted from my car's

TP vs RPM with boost overlaid on the graph, in most cases when boost is constant, TP is also constant (using afm as the input source), so it doesn't really matter if it's a 20:1 mapping or whatever, there is only one line on the map that it needs at full boost..... this might not be true on other cars, but for all the data i've got from my car it seems to be the case.

Here is how to download the calibration file:

1. You will need to build a very simple cable as per attached pic. No level converter or electronic components required

2. Plug cable to grey socket on your F-con V Pro and other end to serial port on your PC

3. Use attached software to download the calibration file

An orange light will come up on your F-con while downloading the file.

Enjoy, share it with the world and post your files here.

very nice, i love open source information

well done with the post im sure it will help other fcon v users

i wish the powerfc was this simple, sadly its not

[Guest Mashrock]

what else do you have for fcon??

i was speaking to friend tonite and he wants to throw my car on the dyno.

and sort it our for aussie fuel..

but i tell him no use as i have fcon and i doubt i'd be able to get tuning software..

is this so??

[kwazza11]

Sounds easy, will give it a try but what program do you use to view the file once downloaded?

Wolf has a GTR plugin and have for a few years.Theres lots of plugins from Wolf but the web page is a long way out of date.Many jap cars are covered and not BMW and Porsche etc They are now a lot better than some ppl want them to be and older V4s are upgradable.

I have done 1000cc injectors without drama and they run without resistors on low impedance injectors.Very strong contenders in the market with some very advanced features in the pipe line.

Competition in the market is a good thing making everyone work hard to stay current.

i would like to find someone with the HKS Power Writer software..

please wing it my way.

I would have to agree that the wolf site hasnt been updated for a very very long time.

I heard last year about data logging for wolf and searched there site last week and found nothing. Emailed Steve and received a beta test version same day. They really ought to update the thing.

There magazine ads do show the GTR etc plug ins though.

[N I B]

2003 was when i first got a GTR plugin prototype Wolf ,so its been a while since the site was updated,Ran 10s.

[kwazza11]

well i gave it a try but the light didnt come on and the file saved is blank.

just to check the pins you've used on that 9 pin connector are 5-green 3-yellow and 2-black right?

and stop hijacking this thread with wolf crap!

i would have been asking the same question come next week..

have you got a better photo of them pins on that plug..

[silver gts-t]

i also will try this when i get a spare moment...

Is your F-con version 3.1? Is it gold with a blue dot like this one?

i wouldnt mind it my self as i have a hks f-con in my stagea

[GTRgeoff]

Also interested to know if Croydon or SAS have the connector looms. Might make selling it easier.

[kwazza11]

no mine is a ver 2.1

its just the grey but says Pro version 2.1 on the side.

[TomR33]

It will not work with version 2.1, it uses different commands.
