Power FC...

[D1B|itz]

Hi guys, would like to clear 1 doubt on the Power FC? Can it tune boost up on its own without a boost controller? I know its a standalone ecu, but does it need a boost controller like the avc-r for tuning up of boost or can it do it by itself?

And for owners who run the power fc,safc2,e-manage or any other ecu, can i get some feedback on the difference in performance? esp between the 3 mentioned above....

Thanx!

D1... Please post your technical questions in the technical areas rather than the local QLD forum... I guarantee you will get a better response...

I'll move this one to the Forced Induction section...

http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/docs/power...powerfc-faq.htm will cover most of the questions you'll have regarding the powerfc. the safc is piggyback air/fuel only, emanage is also piggyback only and is not a full replacement. powerfc is full replacement ecu. you can set and control boost with the powerfc you just need to purchase the additional boost controller kit which is around $350 AU on top of the powerfc price.

Power FC can control boost but u need to boost controller kit that you have to buy seperate, i think its about $400. Im pretty sure it uses the same solenoid etc as the AVCR cos i think APEXI only made one design. Some people i know don't recommend using powerfc as your ebc, not very reliable apparantly. Basically if the kit is $400+ you may as well buy an AVCR.

As far as performance issues between the three id also like to know. I can't justify spending $1500 for an AP Engineeering PowerFC so thats out of the question. I can get a chip for my ecu for $250 and the dude said if i give him my dyno graph then he can tune the chip perfectly, so i think ill end up going this way.

haha i didn't read the post before mine... he already explained it....
