I'm sure there's been a thread on this before somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

I know that the PowerFC Pro has some sort of launch control, but is there anything else that it has over the regular PowerFC?

Is it worth paying the extra to get the Pro?

Just that I'm about to order one of the two, and the Pro is considerably more expensive by the time you factor in the cost of the hand controller.

Cheers :)

it has two rev limiters one for when the cars wheels are not turning and one for when the car is moving.ie on the drag strip and your at the line.when you have the throttle flat you can set the limit to say 7500 for getting of the line and once your moving you could set it back up to 9000.

Hey all...

The Differences between the PRO and the Normal FC...

1) Launch Control

2) Cuts The Ignition instead of Fuel (normal FC) at The Rev Limiter

There are 2 kinds of PRO Versions...Detro one eliminates the AFM's and replaces them with MAP sensors...

The other keeps the AFM's but has the 2 extra options...

Im Running the PRO Detro version

Hope that helps...

cheers

Dude,

I know your after the bling factor of launch control.  

You can always add this later. I'm fitting an external sort of device which is launch control. Can use it with stocker ecu etc. Just a sequential ignition cut I'm pretty sure.

Hey Dan

Yeh but I don't want to use the stock ecu because I'm using bigger injectors etc.

Also like the functionality of the PowerFC.

But it's all good because I have now ordered the PowerFC Pro :)

Cheers for the replies guys :)

The question is though for most ppl. How important is the ignition cut over a fuel cut as most aftermarket ecu's use a fuel cut.

Exactly. I'd like to know this also.

What I can't understand is that why have Apexi changed the cut? E.g A stocker gtr ecu uses ign cut, whereas if you change to the regular FC, it uses a fuel cut. Odd.

What are you going with simon? Still going Wolf or what? Wolf use ign or fuel cut?

James,

What I meant by that is that you can have a PowerFC, Microtec like eggy/dave, or whatever etc and add this external device and still get launch control.  

Now that you've bought the FC Pro.....go and buy the software from nengun. $300-$400 del I think.

Yeah I knew what you meant but there's no point in having all this extra external crap when you can buy one unit with the lot included !

maybe, just a crazy idea in my head, but the issues with cutting fuel in hi-po engines may have lead the pro version to cut ignition instead

or a more simple and uderstandable way of explaining is - ppl who want pro must have a high grade engine, therefore better to make it cut ignition then risk engines due to lack of fuel at high revs....

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
