Hey guys i bought a power fc for my manual R33 s2 and took it to the mechanic to tune it. Since the time we fitted the power fc to my car engine check light and exhaust tempreture light is on and wont go off after tuning it too..

What could be the problem?

Any one with the same problem?

the power fc light is on if sensor is faulty i have 32 with neo i i got rid of all tracton controll shit hense the light is always on ime going through and wiring all sensors back in so no light power fc has sensor check mode where u can see what voltage sensors are doing also if one is outside the paremeter it will set it off as well

any questions on this pm me

have u tried a searcH? this is covered in the unofficial apexi power fc faq (in my signature). the check engine light will stay on if you have the boost kit turned on (and arent using it), disable it. unplug the exhaust temp sensor, its useless, two wires where the catalyic converter is

Strange, do you notice anything else wrong or not working? What is the water temp reported by the hand controller under MONITOR, WATERTEMP ?

Is it 414-N012 or 414-AN012 ? What version is reported by ETC, VERSION

very odd. what was $1000 for exactly? what did they check/do ?

has it been tuned completely or still on stock maps?

does the car drive ok? im assuming this light goes away with stock ecu ?

sounds like your getting ripped.

$1000 is f**ked.

My tuner hit me $300 for a shit tune that I could have done by hitting the keyboard of my laptop with my cock.

anyway, yeah, dude, read the faqs.. Look at the sensor readout on the powerfc and look for any erroneous values on monitor side of the powerfc..

f**k, I reckon I'd have it fixed in an hour.. I should start my own shop..

I went 2 the best two tuners in melbourne..I dont want to mention the names but what they did say was the power fc was faulty.

They tuned it half way didnt do a full tune...For the stock ecu its fine...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
