Mmmmmm datalogging :rant:

Just waiting on the call for when the dyno is free. There's a race buggy on it and it gets priority as it is racing this weekend, which I'm happy enough waiting for as I have plenty of times spent my hard earned on race entry fees and worked until a few hours before to make it.

gtrken, to use the laptop software, did you have to use a specific dongle? what sort of connection is it? a serial to PS2 cable or something? could you post pics of the dongle?

FC Datalogit is your friend..... :rant:

Cheers

I still want an ADL though :D

Me too, but they were way too expensive...but plenty of ppl make them other then Motec. :aroused:

I was booked in to do the Motec course last year in Sydney but had to cancel because of work, is it worth the oney....im definetley doing the data acquisition seminar :D

Hey Vics,

Have done a search but can't find any specific info - was just wondering how much it costs to tune a Power FC?  

I was hoping around the $200 mark at somewhere like ICE, is this enough??

thanks

Dude, the only way you are going to find out is to call them

does that mean everytime you add for example an intercooler or change your setup in some form or manner, you are looking at $500 to re-tune?

I doubt it, I imagine it's initially more expensive to set up all of your map's properly and once this is done, addition of a bolt on like a FMIC should only need a bit of "tweaking"!

When someone does an initial tune, do they use the base map which is provided with the PowerFC and then tweak that?

Would the base map on the PowerFC need a lot of tweaking for the usual mods like exhaust, intercooler and a bit more boost??

Can the base map settings in the powerFC be retrieved if it is a second hand one (can it be reset)???

When the PowerFC first comes there is a basic map to get the car started so the tune can be performed. Any experienced FC tuner can just sit there and edit these values to get a very basic tune then dyno run it a couple of times and tweek it to get it perfect.

Yes add values can be be cleared. There is a data clear function in settings.

Adjustments and retunes would not cost the same as the inital setup. All you'd be paying for is the dyno time so it would be a lot cheaper.

Back with a result, the dyno map is in another thread I started but my money got me 220rwkw with the mongrel no breed turbo $250-300 is the going rate from Creatd and I am very happy.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.

      Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.

      I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
