Pfc

[RB power]

hi

im getting my car tuned and the local tunner here doesnt have the right data log it...

and i was just wondering if there is any advantage in getting a tune with the data log it???

like can they tune it better??

oh i have a rb20det pfc

and the tunner only has the softwafe for the 26

I was told that the Datalogit made tuning a Power FC a lot easier than trying to use the hand controller, and that you could do more with the Power FC and access more featues.

"Mmmm, unexplained bacon."

[R31Nismoid]

its hardly imperative to have a datalogit software to tune by any means

You can do everything you will require via the Hand Controller and it will tune and run perfectly fine.

Provided your tuner knows what he is doing, no problems at all

It would take a lot longer to do it via hand controller - at $100 - $160/hr on the dyno it may be worth going somewhere with the software

[RB power]

so is there any other benifits of using data log it other than speed of tunning?

How much longer exactly? Got an accurate time to throw out there?

It doesnt take a "lot" longer at all. Most places are around the 500-600 mark logit or no logit.

You are paying for expirience of the tuner in most cases as opposed to the time.

The logit costs $$ too so your paying additonal costs for the use of the equipment anyhow.

RB power - there are some additional features, which im not 100% on. They are only minor things that probably wont matter as i said.

Most people are tuned via H/C.

RB26/use of logit is much more common as there is a market for it all.

rb20det ap engineering uses rb25 datalogit software...

it will take a LOT less time to tune with the software simply because it is easier to change multiple load points at the same time

[SimonR32]

also u can map the knock over the different load poitns with the computer software which is a great help for a more accurate tune

[The Mafia]

oh, and don't forget the most important feature overall - the base maps can be completely modified...

go to the website... it has all the features listed. A LOT more than the mongrel hand controller.

ahh so if they have the 25 software they can tune ma 20??

[SimonR32]

yes

[Sydneykid]

They can download the relevant R32GTST software version from the Datalogit web site.

cheers

PS; makes me wonder how good the tuner is if they don't know that they can download the software.
