How to convert PCV maps to PC3USB easily (and free)

So I just figured some stuff about how to convert Power Commander V (PCV) maps to Power commander 3 USB (PC3USB) so I’ve done a little write up of it.

You can import older PC3USB maps into the PCV, and you can import PCV maps into the PCFC, but you can’t import PCV maps into the PC3USB, and you can’t import PCFC maps into the PCV.

Except now you can…and it’s super easy to do: Read more here

How to convert PCV maps to PC3USB easily (for free)

So whilst you can import PC3USB maps to the PCV sofware no problem, and PCV/PC3USB maps into the PCFC, what happens if you want to go the other way around? You can’t import PCV maps into PC3USB, nor can you import PCFC maps into PCV.

BTW: This should work on any bike with a PCV/PC3USB (obviously only on the same bike with each type of controller though).

Autotune – game changer

(for me anyway)

There’s been quite a lot gone on here lately.. I’ve not posted for a variety of reasons which I’ll also get into along the way.

I’m trying to work through the backlog now and will have to post it in parts. This is part 1 – which is a little catchup on the autotune box I added to my bike recently, which we’ll build on for the next part/s.

I also realised that my email subscription thing on here is all messed up so till I get that figured out I’ve added a thing so you can login and comment with a wordpress.com account, as well as google and faceballs and whever other type of accounts. I hope that makes it easier to comment and ask questions etc.



The story so far

Wideband O2 sensor on YZF-R125 with 180cc kit, for street tuning

Short video running through installing and testing my wideband O2 sensor to try and get the fuelling right on my YZF-R125 with 180cc kit. I was kinda nervous about hacking a big hole in my nice shiny stainless exhaust but I guess that’s part and parcel of getting into the more interesting tuning stuff…
