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:

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.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
