Who has the Power FC diagnostic software?

[400HP]

Does anyone know who has this software? It's the one that you use on a laptop and is used by Apexi Excel shops.

Specifically in NSW.

Wouldn't I like to know this...

Wouldn't we ALL like to know this.

As far as I know there is supposedly only one or two shops in Australia who have it cos it was domestic only.

So far these shops have been conspicous by the lack of any knowledge of who they are.

Cant you download this from Cnet.com?

What's with all the secrecy about this software?

I don't see why Apexi wouldn't want to release it as it makes the Power FC more tunable and therefore more appealing to the consumer.

I found this site http://www.fc-datalogit.co.nz/fc-datalogit.html which allows PC tuning of your Power FC but they only have gtr 33/32...

I think unless you somehow get hold of this software its for Apexi Excel dealerships only.

but do you need a 'special' cable to hook it up to a laptop?

[kabab]

CRD has this software i believe.

[XCUZME]

no they dont.

crd tunes via hand controller.

from what ive heard, martin donnon in adelaide is supposedly the only one in aus who has it, and im sceptical as to whether he even has it.

[rh9gtr]

Kabab is correct, CRD have access to the proper A'PEXi FC Pro software (as do Power Excel dealers).

I do know this is correct as i have seen Jim use it on Mario's cars first hand.

i've got the software and a manual its all in japanese tho... you'll need to make/buy a dongle tho.

[GTR-Ben]

So you going to hook us up?

[funkymonkey]

i'll sell a copy to whoever's interested...

[cameron]

You have PM funky.

Gavin Wood Autotech (www.autech.net.au) has all cables and software, its what he uses for all PFC tuning (road + dyno) in conjunction with some autronic A/R meter and spaghetti-junction style cables. You may be able to see it in action in several of the photos on the website if I remember correctly.

FC-Datalogit (www.fc-datalogit.co.nz) claims the need for a special dongle for each model of engine, but with some very minor hax0ring of wires, the same dongle can be used for SR20/RB20/RB25/RB26 and I'm sure several (many?) others.

FC-Datalogit in use at QR Sprints on MELV's gtr:

NB - That applies to FC-Datalogit, not the Apexi brand software (if such a beast exists?)

[Tracka]

geez, what sort of crazy thread is this ??

there IS such software available and CRD 1000000% have it!!!! Bel Performance also have it. as already mentioned, all apexi power excel dealers have it.

I have personally got the FC Datalogit software and use it on my STI. I also lend it to several places that use it to tune multiple cars

FACTS

1. All of the 'dongles' are the same for the FC Datalogit. I have PERSONALLY used it on WRX's, GTR's, 200SX's and a GTI-R

2. each model car has a different version of software. i.e. wrx software will ONLY work on a wrx so, you will have to buy the correct software to suit your car

I would be interested in selling my unit complete will software for the cars I have mentioned above for about $650AUD. I dont really use it anymore as my car is fully tuned now.

FYI, the datalogit unit also has launch control. and u can log AFR's etc
