Within the next week i will be picking up my New used 7 . Now, it's stock as is. But i want make it more reliable. So i am going to be purchasing a AST, Fluidyne radiator, Greddy FMIC, Greddy Airnix intake, Greddy SP exhuast, petit downpipe, Greddy BOV and The apexi power FC. Now i was waundering how i can set the Power FC so that my car will run okay for the trip from my house to the Dyno shop? Sorry for the long post, hopefully you guys can give me some info.

 

if you ordrer your power fc from sr motorsports they can tune it to your mods over the phone and you will be ok to drive as far as you like and take it to the dyno at your convience. i've had my power fc from them since march and i'm finally getting it tuned tommorow

 

hmmm, that sounds like a good plan. Are there any other places that do that? Also how much did that cost?

 

Scrub,

Do you have anyone near you that has a datalogit and wideband o2 sensor? That is the BEST way to tune.

Sending away for a map will get you something that is CLOSE to what you need, but still PIG rich (think of liability reasons.)

I also would NOT trust any tuner that does not run a log file of the runs / dyno session and tunes by values flashing by on a gauge/screen. Give me a break!

If you were closer, I'd say drive out here and I'll tune your car. Heck, we have a dyno event happening here Oct. 11th, too! I'll have at least 3 if not 5 cars tuned and ready for some solid numbers by then.

Datalogit. Wideband. These are my friends.

The only tuners i have around me is KDR and Peter Ferral that i know of. What i was thinking of doing was what streetdreamzny said and get it them to map it for my mods, just so it will run without me worrying about running lean or anything like that. Then driving it to PF and having it dyno tuned there.

 

The base map that comes with the PowerFC will be more than adequate to get you to KD with those mods.

"The ONLY tuners I have around me is KDR and..."

We should all be so lucky.

 

I'll take Dave over nobody, sure!

Sounds like a plan. Again, as mentioned, the base map should be plenty safe as long as your boost levels are under control.

Make sure the tuning session is logged with WB O2!

Tune by that log!

 

Thats what i wanted to do. I was thinking of getting the PFC with dataloging and the commander. Thanks for the replys you have all been helpful
