Need a powerFC base tune!...
hey guys and gals!...
i'm in need of a base tune for my power FC, i will be running 550cc primaries and 1600cc secondaries, the turbo i will be using is a BNR stage 3 and the porting will be a large street port with slight over lap i believe....
hope this helps and hopefully someone has/knows of a base tune that i could use, thanx again guys!...
this is for an 1989 S5 Turbo....

the car is out of town as the guy is working on it, so i will have to drive on the highway back home....
What Power FC are you running? AP Engineering? You should be able to drive it on just the basemap included in there, as long as it starts and idles. Are you using the FD MAP sensor? The AP map is set up for the FD map sensor, or the AVC-R map sensor. If you have a GM sensor you will need to change the settings using a Datalogit. You do have a datalogit right?
If you have the Banzai Racing kit with the FD Power FC, there's a pretty good chance it should at least run right out of the box. Worst case scenario, you have to add some fuel in the idle area, which is what I had to do to mine.

You don't need an FJO injector driver to run the 1600's. But that doesn't mean it won't offer some benefit to getting a smoother fuel map and smoother injector transition. But someone who is paying a professional to tune their car probably won't notice a difference when they're driving itthat is, a well-tuned car with resistors vs. a well-tuned car with an injector driver.
FYI I run the factory 86-87 1/2 resistor pack (~6 ohms) and my injector transition is fine (from a driver's perspective, not talking about minutely dissecting datalogs and maps here) as long as you set the lag, overlap, and transition settings properly.
Anyway...To the OP, if it is an "actual s5 model" then it is the AP Engineering model. You have not answered the question of whether you have a Datalogit and what MAP sensor you are using. If you don't even know what I'm talking about when I ask those questions, you better do some searches before you put a computer in your car that you know nothing about.

i want the car to be able to run and drive alright on the highway, not bagging on it or anything, i will take it to a professional tuner aswell to get it tuned, the transition kind of worries me now that i think about it, but what exactly is the FJO thing?...
