I'm having some troubles with my FC Edit, and was hoping that one of your guys could help me out.

When I connect my power FC to FC Edit, I can't see the base fueling map. I can read all the other things as INJ, IGN, settings, ect... But the BASE tab isn't showing up. Another problem that i'm also struggling at is that the map tracing doesn't work, so i can't really figuring out in what cell i'm actually working.

If I connect to FC Pro, I can see runtime values and also INJ corr. and IGN map, but the pictogram of the FUEL INJ (base map) is greyed out. The Ppower FC is using a map so normally he has to have a base map wright ?

Hope that some of you guys could give mee some advise... :)

Im guessing you have turned map tracer on so have you started a log when trying to use it? F1 or f2 or something starts a log or you can also select it from the drop down menu

Your using a d-jetro pfc? Base map should be there. Has the power fc been tuned by a workshop or used by someone else? Perhaps the base map was locked previously

Given that it wont work in fc-edit or fc-pro i dont think its a software issue. What dongle are you using?

It's an l jetro i think, maf one so that's l jetro wright ?

The map tracing does work know but still no base map. The previous owner of the car was a tuner so maybe it's possible that the map is locked, but isn't it like that that if you initialize the power fc, you should see the base map appear ?

if you do data init on the power fc it will return completely to factory settings which means no locks and all the maps/settings will go back to what they are from factory. If the car hasnt been tuned at all on the power FC then its probably worth doing anyway. Just keep in mind you will lose any settings you've changed on it

Doesn't L-Jetro run AFM still?

your PFC doesnt have or need the "base" map as its Maf based. Tracer will work if you tick all the log boxes in the monitor screen, also turn on your map axis or they will just read n01 no2 no3 etc.

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
