Power FC MAP database. free!

[GabeS14]

This is a Repost from Fresh Alloy.com forums, where some guys are sharing their maps and helping each other out like we all should.

I dont know why and how this hasn't been shared on Zilvia as of now I did some searching and could not find it. So if I am wrong and this has been shared on zilvia before, please correct me and Ill close this thread.
this is a thread started in 2005, but i am sure will be helpfull to new power fc users.
so here is the post:
by one of the senior members Nzo:

Yes, the time has finally come. I'm tired of people asking for help and example maps and getting no responses even though we all know there are plenty of people running PFC on their cars. I'm tired of the rx7 guys having TONS of user support and the sr20 having next to nothing (aside from srfiveten, the one-man PFC dynamo). So heres the deal, I have begun to compile a few maps from PFC users who have volunteered to contribute their maps to the cause. Hopefully this will not only help users with tuning their PFC but also encourage others who are unsure what standalone to purchase to get a PFC because of the user support and knowledgebase.



Here is the site as it is now. A'PEXi Power FC Map Database for Nissan SR20DET (http://home.comcast.net/~nzo/) There are only a few maps available at the moment and of course this can only change with individual involvement.



If you have suggestions for the site, maps to contribute, hate mail, whatever, please contact me and speak your mind. This is intended to be by the people for the people and the only way this works is if people participate instead of taking a passive role. Also if you would like to contribute in helping to design/maintain/host the site, any and all help is appreciated. I am really not the person to be designing this site but someone had to do it.



On a side note, within the next few months there will be an alternative to the datalogit being released. The software will be free and enables access to many variables which are inaccessible through FC Edit (as well as being compatible with the datalogit box). The advanced version of the box will be cheaper than the datalogit and will includes features such as launch control 2-step, anti-lag, gear based ignition and injection, shift light, boost switch, fan control, egt vs ignition, egt vs injection, analog inputs that can used to correct ignition and injection (EGT etc.). It will at some point also include an auto-tune feature enabled by inserting target AFRs and allowing the computer to gradually correct map variables to meet these targets. I'm personally pretty excited about this as it will allow more people more access to the PFCs powerful functionality.



EDIT:



If you are contributing maps PLEASE include all the information the site catalogs. I'd rather not have to hunt down everyone who sends me maps and have to constantly ask about what mods they have etc. Please also include any comments you have about the maps such as how well they are working for you, drivability, and any problems or complaints you have about them. Maps should be in excel format if at all possible. Also when sending maps or any important information please email me at [email protected] Thanks!

This data base has been around for a while

Its still not nowhere near as tailored as a custom made base map for your setup, which of course I offer.

Just make sure you are a true DIY'er if you are going this route, you will need a Wide Band to really make these fit.

I only think there are a couple on there and the lag times and base settings are part of the important thing that will vary from setup to setup

yea, luis was telling me the same thing, this is more of a temp/base thing , it's always better to get a full tune .

[steve shadows]

Yeah I know that Gabe.

I offer temporary or basemaps which are custom tailored

but at what cost? cause not all of us have money trees, i'm still waiting for mine to germinate....

IIRC, Steve's charging $70-80 for a map. :kiss: Aint exactly expensive...

Its also the fact that these maps are really not filled in and exact and they are dyno tuned maps

It's safer to start with a broad base and perfect

Dyno Tuned maps are A LOT more car specific and in most instances are way too advanced or lean for cars that do not have the exact same parts tuning in the exact same conditions.
