Question Can anybody tune the PF computer here other than PF.

Yeah, i need to know how to tune the PF ECU. Does anybody have the sheats as a .pdf file or sumthing. I dont wanna have to drive all the way up to Manassas again just for a tune when me or my local shop (www.cleanandfast.com) can do it.

efisystems.com PFS has a datalogging application for Windows for about $300. It probably is also made by EFI. Did you not receive a manual from PFS that came with the PMC that explains how to set the fuel maps, boost, etc.?

Purple Box manual

Log on to PFS's website and click on "product Support" I believe it is. You can print a manual right of their site provided your computer has Acrobat Reader.

IRotate is right. Go to www.pfsupercars.com and select the RX-7 section, then product support. The entire manual, plus installation instructions are there.

Don't forget to do your tuning on a dyno, anything else is a waste of time. It's possible for the PFS unit to be so rich it'll read lean, two guesses how I know

There are things to know about the pms that are not in the manual. do some searching and some of the people at PFS can be helpful, except for Peter unless he has changed.

You can download the manuals from EFI Systems: http://www.efisystems.com/

There is a Yahoo! Groups setup for users to exchange info:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/efipmslist/

It is pretty easy to tune, and you should be able to do fine if you go to a shop that has a wideband and a dyno.

yeah, it is pretty easy to tune, but you really need a wideband to do it properly. check out Wade's web site for lots of good info on this.
If you need help,i've had one in my car for about 2 years - i'm only 2 hours from you in w-s.
