Steve Bull Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 When will the G4x xtreme be available. My old G4 (xtreme) has a few issues and it not worth getting the G4+ (xtreme) if it going to be soon replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Number of and type of I/O will be mostly unchanged. Most of the changes will be firmware based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Bull Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Is there much of a price increase or are the old G4+ going to be reduced in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Bull Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 will the new ecu be able to store its trim map so you dont have to plug your laptop in everytime before you turn the ecu off. The Power commander i have on my bike continuously updates a fuel trim map then when your ready plug in your lap top to except fuel trims.

Simon Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Will be a slight increase in price. Trim correction is on the wishlist so not there currently but likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Bull Posted April 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Its here and available in the UK. Just waiting for my supplier to get stock. One question on the computer side of things my laptop will not run the software. Whats the minimum spec for a laptop/operating system to run the software and new ECU.

Is it crashing or something else? I have tried it on my piss weak dell venue tablet with Atom processor that can barely open a web page and it runs PC link fine.

My laptop is an old Dell inspiration but running Windows XP. The first G4+ PC Link software runs but later updates don't, its the same story for the new G4X PC Link software. The error is "PCLink.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point Register Power SettingNotification could not be located in the dynamic link libary USER 32.DLL," I think it may be just as its running XP and not Windows 10 as its got enough processor speed and memory. Looks like i will have to get a newer laptop or attempt a Windows XP to Windows 7 to Windows 8 to Windows 10 and hopefully not loose all my data.

Adamw Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Windows 7 should work ok. I believe in XP it is the 3D surface view that doesnt work so you may have success if you delete all 3d surface views from your layout. I dont have a PC with XP anymore to try.

Steve Bull Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Well, ordered the new Xtreme and new (to me) laptop. Just waiting now. Is there any tutorials or advise for the new software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Burnett Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 one thing not being said here, and misleading on the Link website, is that the new G4x extreme is loosing the peak and hold injector function. So the injector drives are back to being saturated drivers for high impedance injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Burnett Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 It doesnt bother me. I just like to be informed so im not over selling the product. Also i was under the impression that with G4x everything was the same, just updated processor due to the previous micro ending life.

Steve Bull Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 ECU has arrived but I'm still waiting for the laptop so i cant do anything. While I wait Is there any tutorials or advise for the new software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 A lot of the PCLink software is visually very similar, the biggest difference being that unlike in G4+ where you go to the aux/DI/anv pin and then set what it is you now go to the function and select what pins that function is using. I recommend just having a play with the software, have a look through all the features and read the help manual if you are unsure what something does. I also recommend using the new asynchronous injection function (under Fuel Main) which greatly reduces the need for accel fuel and is a lot faster to react than traditional accel fuel.

Steve Bull Posted April 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Just got another laptop so i can run the software but thats all as the car is 20 mile way. I cant seem to find the xtreme 1uz vvti base map. Or isn't there one and its a case of doing it all from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 There isn't an Xtreme sample map in the current release, there should be one in the next release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
