if you can find one with the right voltage and input i dont see why not

look in the PFC faq in my sig, someone found a suitable screen replacement on the rx7 forums

Better yet, get a Datalogit. Use a laptop and full size screen, and access further capabilities of the ECU.

this man is correct.

The laptop tuning side of things makes the job 1000 times easier. Seriously.

I agree that the datalogit makes it easier to dyno, but i dont want to have a laptop sitting in the car all the time. It would be good to be able to display 2 or 4 gauges on a smallish screen for easy viewing when driving.

it would be good if you get an rsm style screen for the PFC and plug it in

then you could choose between digital guages, didgital output and have it closer to the driver. the rsm is ace, if only it could show knocking

yeah ive got a busted 26 controller here

actually ive just looked at the unit in the powerfc FAQ and it looks the same as the one used in the hand controller ive got open here on my desk

the one inside the FC controller has a 20 pin connector with A and C on the right hand side like the one on the site here

http://graphic-lcd-lcds.shopeio.com/invent...b=Graphic%20Lcd

i didnt realise they had a common 20 pin connector, i thought all the crap on the back was part of the FC

it appears all the crap behind it is the logic for the LCD display. ace ill order one of those screens (out of stock) and wire it up to my working 25 controller

i wanna put it on a safc stand and have it next to my rsm, so that knock is more visible

But instead of using ECUTalk, run the PFC software on the laptop with readouts on the indash screen and only pull the laptop out for tuning purposes :laugh:

the main board for the LCD display has 3 chips on the back

all hitachi chips with

5L1

HD 5

61202TFIA

Japan

The board has SII with a black dot

also has E91964 340 in white print

REV B

G1216

B1N (in a white box)

on the underside of the backlit display i can see

020596 in big black numbers

and in small gold numbers i can see D2161

ok ive just realised

the part no the FC board is G1216

the part on the seiko site is

Seiko 128x64

G121621V000

so it sounds like the same unit

let me order one n see how we go :laugh:

The lcd needs to have the exact same controller or an equivalent as the original LCD otherwise the instruction set will be wrong and you won't get anything at all.

Because the original LCD is 128x64, you can't go any higher in resolution without going to a different controller. You might be able to go up in size but keep the same resolution but not by much.

Only way I can see you getting a larger display would be to figure out the powerFC serial protocol (datalogit and the handcontroller would use the exact same protocol) then program a microcontroller to get the data and put it on a larger display.

Is the powerFC datalogit cable USB or serial? If its serial it would have to be an asynchronous serial port. USB it could be either.

If someone has a dead powerFC I'd have a crack at it. It just so happens I have a graphic lcd in the mail :laugh:

If anyone has any electronics questions about it... just fire off a PM and I'll see what I can do

    • Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.
    • Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 😆
    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
