Pfc

[s13onevia]

just curious to see what other people with pfc hand controllers have on display on the monitor function, and how many on channels display and why???

[Lunatic Dancer]

Injector Duty

Ignition Timing

Water Temp

Knock

I find these to be the main ones I need to know...

Also with 4 and under displays you can see the peak and real time at once..

I got

knock

injector

afm

water temp

[platinum]

depends a bit, usually 4ch - and water temp, battery voltage, RPM and knock.

[Busky2k]

I monitor them all. 8 Channel. Why not.

[Chris32]

Speed

Water Temp

Boost

Knock

I monitor them all. 8 Channel. Why not.

same for me, good to have as much info in front of you as possible

I find it's hard to read them at a distance with too many on the screen. Then you find yourself squinting to read them all. Then you find yourself crashing

On first installation of a PFC, I use the Commander to;

1. check the water temp gauge calibration (where are 50/60/70/80 degrees on the gauge)

2. the boost gauge correlation (do they agree)

3. the alternator charging (battery voltage)

4. the throttle position sensor (am I getting 100% throttle when the pedal is to the metal)

5. the tacho correlation (do they agree)

6. the speedo correlation (do they agree)

7. the AFM cleanliness (is the voltage increase somewhat linear with rpm or does it jump all over the place)

8. check that the ignition timing is actually what it is running (using a timing light)

If I am tuning ignition timing, I run only knock display

Nice and large, very easy to see if changes in ignition timing (advance) cause knock

If I am tuning A/F ratios I run, injector duration and knock

Nice and large, very easy to see if changes in A/F ratios (leanness) causes knock and exactly how much injector timing I have left.

Generally I run AFM voltage, inlet air temp, injector duty and knock, as they are not covered by other gauges. Personally any more than 4 displays and I find it hard to read them while driving.

I usually have 4 on mainly:

Speed

Knock

Water Temp

Airflow
