Power Fc

[tezflow]

hi guys,

i am about to buy an apexi power fc with hand controller off a mate, but i was just concerned about not getting all the wiers and things.So i was just wondering if someone could tell me what you get when you buy one brand new in a box. and also where would you go to get your power fc tunned in melbourne.

assuming its not a djetro version. you dont need anyhting, plug and play. Just make sure it is the correct one for your car. I think racepace are in melb?

they use your standard wiring harness. they have the same plug as the stock unit, so you just unplug the stock unit, and plug in the pfc.

I'm currently running a re-mapped ECU in my R32 RB20DET

with mods:

GTR fuel pump

3' split dump/front pipe all the way out

R33 turbo

Trust front mount

Boost controller

Air pod

If i were to change to a Power FC and plug it straight in, would the base

map of the Power FC be better than a re-mapped ECU?

no it wont

that's an impossible question to answer. it's like saying is my friends penis bigger than my penis? without knowing how big mine is, and how big his is how could you answer? so without knowing how good your current state of tune is, and without knowing how suited whatever map is in the PFC is to your combo no-one can answer. your current tune could be shithouse in which case the PFC may be better. or vice versa.

True, someone out there must have wacked a Power FC in their

car and had it dyno'd. Can anyone post up their personal experiences

with running a Power FC and no tuning.

[paulr33]

the stock maps arent designed to make more power or drive better

they are purely stock maps to give any one that installs it a safe and conservative tune, allowing them to drive to their dyno workshop and get it tuned correctly. it may make a bit more power, who knows, does it matter? probably not.

it wont hit rich and retard as that doesn't exist

driving on the stock maps is fine, and you can do so for a few days, weeks etc, its meant to be a conservative tune to suit most cars and conditions
