Converting a PC 5 map to a PC 6 map

[Josh]

If you noticed when you send the map to your PC6 unit it modified your fuel trims. The power core software will not let you trim your fuel cells +/- 15%.

[Josh]

Also there is a base map that you cannot see. Those zeros you see when first connecting your power commander 6 are just a reflection of the changes you made. The power commander is preloaded with a base map that you cannot see. For example if you download a PC6 map from the dynojet website and try to view the fuel trims they will all appear as zeros.

Yep, sucks doesn’t it!

[Josh]

I think you can compare a pcv map to a pc6 map and apply the trims that way. I was looking for a way around it the other day. Im pretty sure that worked. I had to leave for work before i had a chance to check.

I got it figured out. Heres the work around. Youre limited to +/-15% per map.

open pc 5 map, copy it and paste the values on to a pc6 zero map

load it onto the pc6

youll then notice that it automatically modified your map.

create another map within that file.

paste the pc5 map to the new pc6 map

copy the pc6 map that you sent to the device

‘paste subtract’ to the new map

send to the device

at this point you should have 2 fuel maps loaded onto the device and that should allow you an adjustment range of 30%

if you need another 15% create another map

Any chance you’ve made a video showing how to do this? I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to work.

[Rylan]

The video at the top of this thread didn’t explain it?

[Josh]

I think hes referring to my work around for the 15 percentile

[Josh]

I have not but i have an easier way as long as your map doesnt go beyond 50%

1)You need a pc6 Zero map. You will have to request one from dynojet.

2)copy the pc5 map

3) paste it onto the ‘autotune trim’ section of the pc6 zero map.

4) send to device

5) check and make sure the map was sent to the pc6 unchanged

**note: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE A ZERO MAP WHEN DOING THIS. THERE IS A BASE TUNE THAT YOU CANNOT SEE ON ALL OTHER PC6 maps. The loophole here is that the autotune map allows for 50% adjustability compared to the 15% the fuel adjust map allows for. You do NOT need to enable autotune. You should not need to make any adjustments beyond 50% unless you have a forced air setup or some kind of serious motor work. ***
