Sydneykid Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 OK I'm confused, they still appear to be making all models of RB26 Power FC's. So it can hardly be caused by the discontinuance of the NEC processors. My guess is the models that they are discontining are due to lack of sales in the domestic market. In which case, there will be no replacement. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143433-end-of-some-apexi-powerfc-models/page/4/#findComment-2691156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad082 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 the P-NBC looks to be a similar product to the emanage ultimate. a piggyback unit that controls timing, fuel and airflow settings, on a 16 x 16 map. just like the emanage ultimate. and it is tuned via pc, and has a straight plug and play harness.... you guessed it, just like the ultimate.

paulr33 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 well thats what i thought too, but i dont get it ? the skyline model would have been popular as. i think since they made the fc and commander combo they would have dozens more, i can think of over 10 gtsts in sau vic that brought pfc since they made that model change. can someone with an rb26 PFC open it up and take a photo of the processor? and anyone who has ordered a really recent rb26 pfc open it up and do the same? im interested in what processor it has the p-nbc is almost like the emanage, piggyback but lets you do most of the crap, a bridge gap solution for dudes who had safc but want a bit more, but didnt want to buy the pfc. its currently only supported on wrx auto Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143433-end-of-some-apexi-powerfc-models/page/4/#findComment-2694486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I can almost bet that they will not be releasing a new product to replace this one. The signs have been there for ages now that Apexi/Apexera are going down the tubes. I've been predicting this for a while now. The word from people in the know in Japan (given to me face to face last week) is that Apexi went heavily into other business areas. Some car related (like navi, security etc), some not and they got given a massive beating. Couple that with recent poor sales of their performance products, and the apparent lack of R+D of new products and we have a bleak picture. Well, I've got my PFC and love it. that's good enough for me There will be heaps of these second hand around for years and years to come. You never know, another company may even reverse engineer some and sell their own. Apoxi PFD anyone?
