PowerFC software

[DoughBoy]

Due to my increasing agitation with monkeys trying to make money out of it...

Get it here!

Feel free to host it, spread it around and have some fun.

Awesome - now what do we do with it?

Any way of making up the 'box' we need to coonect the PFC to a PC?

[4door_Sleeper]

is this software model specific? ie 33 or 32 gtr or gtst

[R33vit]

It covers all RB's I think. as well as other makes and models

Chris , I downloaded this Ok but winzip keeps telling me that it won't view properly . Then I get letters and numbers that don't make sense . Any idea what the problem is ?

Thanks , A .

Here is a true statesman

You will be forever remembered in the annals of automotive engineering.

Does anyone know how to covert it to english ?

Also the maps are really bunched up and I carnt see the number properly does anyone know how to change it ?

[DoughBoy]

1) Make sure you have Jap english support on your operating system. Some of the files are in Jap and won't be able to uncompress if you don't have it enabled (Start>settings>control panel>regional and language settings>or something like that)

2) Copy the maps (you can only play with the maps until you get the cable) into a seperate directory. Right click on the directory with the executable and go down to properties. Insert a Japanese character (any will do, try this ススカイライン) into the directory name.

The cable is a complicated device (well, to a layman like me it is) and will require a bit of work. More on that tomorrow, just download the stuff and host it before I get torched and have to remove it.

Doughboy... can't help but feeling that the first post was directed at me... hehe. I haven't as yet replied to any of the PM's I got about the power FC software, but I was gonna charge somewhere around $20 for a copy.

aaaaanyway seeing as you've got the software (well... part of it, there's other revisions as well that work with different PFC's) you will no doubt have the instuctions on how to make the cable. I have the instructions as well, but am having some trouble sourcing some parts to make the cable, specifically the NEC reprogrammer that you need to flash the PFC with so you can use a non proprietory cable to communicate with it. Total cost of the cable itself should be around $250 to make. Thoughts, ideas?

[jtir]

OK cool, thanks for that. Now we need cable instructions or is someone trying to make money off that as well?

This is great guys, I'll be in for a group buy if it will help with cable pricing. (I also have access to trade priced at a few IT and electrical places if it is of use to anyone)

PS - I have looked at the software a few times now but I cant find the setting for "WARNING MANIFOLD PRESSURE TOO HIGH" or the "DROP PASSENGERS FLOOR PAN - sparks set to 85%" activation settings.

LOL... what do you know about tuning, anything you can do i can do better...provided the aim is to throw a rod thru the drivers window of the car alongside you, i bet i can mix it with the best :headspin:

Oh, and leaner mixtiures means more power right? :Bang:

Oh, and leaner mixtiures means more power right? :Bang:

i tried that too... it worked but wouldnt pull past 6k in 5th then i noticed i only had 5 cylinders

[4door_Sleeper]

I learnt everything I need to know about engine tuning from watching the fast and the furious. (I need NOS man, that one there, no make it two, two of those big ones)

[RedDrifter]

Does anyone have the cable made up yet?

[Skylineusa]

I have an FC Box. If you guys want I can post some pics of it. It has a serial port next to where the commander plugs into.

[Skylineusa]

You guys wont believe this, but the chips inside of my box have had they part numbers erased on them, so I don't think this would be much help.

[bangahh]

someones holding out on the cable schematics.......

thanks dogh boy.

now all we need is someone to reverse engineer the software.
