The names would suggest not, if you want the autotune you'll probably need the PC V.

Not really. I've read good reports about them but don't know of anyone using one on a 750. Most of the guys here have their PCs mapped on a dyno. A good dyno operator can set it up for your intended use. The guy who mapped mine knew I was going to be using it for top speed runs so set it up nice and safe. He said he could have got another 20hp out of it but with more risk, I'm not sure how safe an auto-tuned map would be, probably fine for street use.

You should try to know everything about something & something about everything.

This has been on my mind also..using a PC5 instead of the PC3 I have. With the auto tune. I would think a mapped out engine then the auto tune to keep it fine tuned..if it works that way would be good??? But does the auto tune know how to keep a boosted engine in the fuel range required with different engine builds..some may need 12:1 or 11:6 ?? Don't know much about the PC's but sure know I will need to be tuning with one..which one, PC5 w/auto or PC3 itself???

Shit Gazza I missed your post somehow! Thank you!

Any comments about setting up your PC5 when you installed and tuned?? What parameters did the PC5 allow for setting FR's?? So many questions rolling thru my head not being familiar with the PC's and almost time to install on new engine. Maybe a small experience write up for us to keep from nagging at ya :humour

Yes the link explains everything beautifully..just wanted to hear your insight :beer

Charlie I think most of it has been posted in this tread http://www.750turbo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15361
one thing I would advise read it, read again and just one more time for luck
or until you sort of get it, not sure I fully understand it all yet !!!
the other thing is once autotune has done it`s magic on each part of the afr and your happy with it, go to your autune table and put in 0 instead of a afr figure or it will keep on trying to tune and totally screw up the table
only found this out before my hands turned to shit, so not been able to ride for the past 2yrs, but it was going in the right direction
hopefully back in the game by early 2016
happy days
nag me all you want I don't mind will help as much as I can

Recall this from long ago. Good luck with the come-back!
