Hi, I am new to Vi-PEC, I have a V88 on my 2.5L Subaru engine.
Over the past 12 years with this car I've had the stock ecu, Unichip, PowerFC and Autronic SM4, and am now very happy with the V88.
I have a couple of very basic questions, after I bought a cable to connect to my PC to get some logging data. I'm also looking at getting an Aim Dash for display/log functions.
1. Is it possible to permanently write(store) to the ecu any changes without performing a "Store to ECU (CTRL+S)"
The V88 documentation says:
"When making tuning adjustments, changes are made in real time. These changes revert back to there previous setting unless a Store has been completed."
My tuner told me I could permanently update the ecu without doing the store, so I'm a bit confused about this.
2. I saved my tune to PCL file. I note that the ECU logging is set to OFF. I it had been set to ON, would the ECU logging data have been saved to the PCL file, so that I could see any log files through the Log File Manager, or do the ECU log files have to be explicitly downloaded. Currently no log files are showing, so I’d assume either no previous logging has been done, or they have been cleared.
Thanks,
Brian
