Hey guys I have a question about the power fc that i couldnt find an answer to.

I recently bought a second hand power fc and was told by the guy that had it that my car wouldnt run on it (he had monster turbo, cams, injectors etc).

So heres my dilema, If i reset the power fc, will it go back to the base map they are purcahsed with (fingures crossed)?

or will I have to find someone who has the map saved so I can download it?

The reason I am doing this is so I can check everything is ok before making the 6 hour drive to my nearest tuner. :D

Thanks for any help.

yeah can reset it back to original settings no worries. SHould never run a tune from one car on another, no matter how similar or different the engine mods are. always start a tune frlom scratch.

you will be fine to reset it, plug it in, and drive to ur tuner. just make sure you follow the instructions. do a serch for power fc, paulr33 has done a hgell of a write up on them on here.

Too easy, just bounce it and your away. Rem not to load the car up till tuned.

I know when i fitted mine, even before tunning it was a fair deal more responsive down low, as it had a lot more ignition then stock... which coulda been an issue if thrashed on a hot day, with bad fuel etc.

      It's sodium citrate, I misspoke earlier. It's a citrate buffer solution. And yes, depending on how thin the metal in the tank is this may or may not be a wise decision but if it's just mild rust it should clean off and it should be fine.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
