Lately i've had difficulty with police defecting my vehicle for boost controllers, safc, pod filter and bov. I'm thinking bout upgrading to a power fc as my car is really lacking since i have gone back to standard boost, no piggy-back and standard airbox.

With a power fc is there any sign of it being in your car? wiring etc... Also with the extra Power fc boost control kit does it just work like any normal ebc and can it be hidden in your vehicle so cops dont slap another canary on my car.

I want my car to look as stock as possible for cops but want it to perform better as it sucks driving atm.

they wont be able to see the powerfc unless you have the hand controller on the dash

if they remove the kick panel (unlikely) then they will see the stock ecu casing but it will have the apexi powerfc logo. the boost kit is basically the avcr solenoid and has similar functionality. they will be able to spot the avcr solenoid most likely as youll have 2 or 3 tubes running to it. if you can hide the solenoid youll be fine

The boost control kit plugs into the Power FC (which is in the standard ECU position behind the LHS kick panel), so it is invisible in the cabin (no blue screens). You can unplug the Commander as well if you want. Under the engine bay there is the solenoid, but it is not particularly obvious, stick it under the airbox (totally out of sight) if you want. Ditto the map sensor, it is black and not very obvious either. Keep the wiring harnesses looking standard and it would be pretty hard to spot anything modified.

Stick a Pipercross panel in the standard air filter box and they won't see that either.

:rofl:

    • Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks
    • Nice work on the paint. Those 3 studs are long as. 
    • Hi everyone, still chasing a bunch of this stuff. Thanks
    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
