Hey rolls,
Just been reading your thread and wow, looks like absolutely tonnes of work has been put into this and I cannot wait to see a beta come out! (Any ETA yet?
)
Personally I am no tuner but definitely will be looking at trying this out as I've got a conversion in the works (preferably want to try using a FG PCM but all comes down to that pesky speed sensor having to come from ABS... if I can't figure how to go without FG ABS, the BF ECU will have to be used!) - have you managed to have a look into the VID Block side of things at all yet? (I'd be e.g. setting VIN and speed sensor etc etc..) I did remember you saying something along the lines of you haven't done the checksums?
Just curious if you guys have the 'HAER1' strategy mapped out at all? Last I read there was really nice progress on FG from the looks of things which is awesome! It would be cool to also be able to tweak the overboost maps for some more fun
While on the topic of FG's - when I've been going over stuff for a conversion I've noticed that there has been some slight changes from the FG MkI to the MkII (5 pins not used in the FGII) but interestingly the PCM still has the same hardware code of APS-234 (so I wonder if there was a change inside maybe a removal of solenoids or something??).. and also the calibrations from IDS - it tells me the calibration strategies are both the same between the MkI and II.
Would you have any clue whether there was a change in the RTOS between the two models? I figure that the RTOS could really be the only thing that would have changed between them both if they slightly changed the outputs but not the calibrations... or they never changed at all and just don't run the pins to the PCM!
(Mainly trying to figure out if the FG MkII PCM can still run the fuel pump relay because they decided to run it from the instrument cluster in the MkII!!) now I've typed this out to be perfectly honest I should just go with a MkI PCM since I could just flash another calibration set if I so desired, duhhh
Also would anyone have a clue here if changing a PCM to Auto/Manual is just contained in the VID Block or does it just a little more complicated than that?
My last question - I'm curious with the licensing - I read somewhere in the thread you were considering doing some form of locking to the strategy? (I ask as there's a few strategies I'd like to try on an FG PCM but not sure how your licensing would permit the flashing of this?)
Apologies for the huge reply! Anyway as I said before, definitely can't wait for this!
