ECU - PowerFC, E-Manage or SAFC for me ??

[DaiOni]

direct from apex:

power FC: 98,000yen

controller: 35,000yen

and, if you like, boost controller add-on: 38,000

Given the current exchange rate (and throw in japanese sales tax):

power FC: $1247

+ controller: $1693

+ controller + boost control: $2176

Gizmo,

 

Crusing around you don't constantly make 11psi. Only when you put your foot in to it.

 

This is why I found a dual stage a waste of time.

Unless you start making lots and lots of power where it fry's the tyres really really easily then it has an advantage, especially in the wet.

 

Use your right foot to control boost.

 

Generally keeping up with traffic I only make 5-6psi even though boost is set to 16psi.

 

Get the PowerFC you will be glad you didn't go the other route.

I don't have any boost at 110 km/h on the flat. Doesn't need it.

I dunno where you guys are getting them from but I got mine through Dave on the Vic forums. I've seen them for $1395 too!

Must get a good tuner for this ECU. APEXi Laptop tuning highly recommended.

Cheers!

I hear so many people say this, can you give me a good reason why you recommend an Apex'i laptop? Do you by any chance have one?

Prices from nengun:

power fc: $951

Boost controller: 30500yen - $368

Commander: 27000yen - $325

Ease of tuning - priceless.

Just thought id add that end bit in.

I thought only authorised apexi premium dealers were allowed to have the apexi software? Therefore no one in australia?

So in buying the powerFC, do you need to buy the controller as well, even if you dont plan on fiddling with the tune ???

i thought you could just buy the powerFC itself, go to a tuner and get the work done...

You dont need the commander unless you want to fiddle with it yourself.
