rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 08/03/18 08:26 AM Share Posted 08/03/18 08:26 AM Currently our income is approaching our target. I hope by the end of the year it will be there. We are already ahead of the bell curve as most businesses don't make a profit for the first 3 years. We've only been live since November. Roughly 90 cars tuned with PCMTEC so far and growing. As Darryl said training and scoping work for third parties often takes longer than just doing it yourself. To get the quality of staff we need would be too expensive at this stage so we will continue to grind it out for a while. As Darryl said the next project in the works is the datalogger, Darryl will has already mapped pretty much everything ready to go for it, we just need to develop the ui which is by far the main job. Hoping to release it in stages. Basic csv logger, 2d graph logger, full blown logger with histograms and gauges. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to be a bit more organised with it. It helps to know how much effect the changes you make affect the tune, but that comes with time.

Soon you will be able to do things like: Gear Based Boost Control for the BA/BF/FG Change table axis like using VSS or Gear instead of Intake temperature for the Boost and Wastegate tables Change decision points for thinks like Open Loop Fuel (make it MAP dependent). Increase table resolutions Add custom axis We think this will change the Ford Falcon tuning landscape forever Cautious optimism Apart from a logging issue with HP Tuners (it cant log custom OSes and SCT corrupted OSIDs) it looks like the boost by gear test we have done is working. For the earlier FGs we have an improved solution for the gear based boost control. I will extend the scope to have a look at torque management by gear as well. Rolls and I will now be working in integrating this into the PCMTec Editor and we will provide updates on the forum link as it progresses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was complaining the 200kW Toyota was "way too slow" so she knows where it's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
