Hey guys iv booked my vehicle in at Roskilda in Palmerston North to do a full remap on the Apexi power fc, i asked what i need to bring and he said for me to trailer it up as he needs it for a couple days, a full tank of gasoline not 91, and the software? So guys i need the software, im guessing this must be an Apexi power fc DISC? Can anybody please tell me what this is and where i can purchase one, or if anyone would like to sell me a second hand one, i dont care if its a copied disk if thats what it is, also any suggestions on what fuel i should put in it before the dyno tune? Much apreciated cheers guys

Unless things have changed in last few years, there are two softwares produced by apexi, "FC Pro" that is only avalable to aproved tuners/dealers and a light retail version that only gives access to the same stuff as the hand controller. Software does not normally come with it you just use the hand controller.

If Roskilda don't have the pro software then I guess they will just have to tune using the hand controller.

For gas just full up with what you normally use, should be either 96 or 98.

you cant buy the apex-i fc-pro because as 4ga said, it is only given to approved dealers/tuners.

everyone else i've seen (incl STM and others) uses the fc datalogit software and interface from http://www.fc-datalogit.co.nz/

the fc-datalogit is the only way you can make true changes to the basemap on the power fc . you cant make them with the hand controller, as you're limited to a certain range of adjustment either side of the values in the map.

Its been a long time since I had much to do with this stuff so things may have changed, but the official dealer software was japanese only and gives access to features/maps not accessable from the hand controler. Also the hand controller is not as convieniant than a full size laptop for tuning.

There is 3rd party hardware/software available that I believe gives access to some of these extra features http://www.fc-datalogit.co.nz/

I imagine in most cases if the tuning shop does not have the software then they will just tune from the controller. I would not think it normal/common for the customer to have access to the software.

I think your best bet is to have this conversation with your tuner, I'm sure I read somewhere on hear that Roskilda have the software for Power FC (search). But probably best to give them a ring and get it all straight before you haul your car up there.

If it were me I'd be taking it to Soichi at St Hi-Tec http://www.sthitec.co.nz/ he has the japanese software and tons of experiance with power fc, but a bit of a trek from your end of the country.

yeah ive heard that keith stewart is good. didnt know about rodney getting rid of the software, that sucks as i was about to have a retune. do you know if keith stewart has the software and or can tune power fc's? i might just have to buy my own datalogit if not.
