Hey guys,

Did a search, nothing i was looking for.

Was wondering how do you guys mount your PFCs??

Theres a bracket to bolt up the standard ecu, but the pfc doesn't have the screw holes for the bracket to bolt up to.

so...yea how do you guys do it? cable ties? duct tape?

Just trying to save myself 50bux....

much appreciated

I just used the bottom part of the bracket from the old ECU and then used the supplied velcro (about 3 big bits) to stick it to that. Works well, seems secure enough.

Sand back the purtruding bolt washer, so that the pfc can be put on the bracket inside on the original bracket then use double sided tape to put the ecu on. Bolt up bracket as normal.

If that makes any sense.. Basically both parts of the original bracket can be used.

was about to unbolt the brackets assembly...until something else hit me...

what about the controller cable? did you guys drill a small hole for it on the top bracket?

....i don't have anything here since i moved house...

if thats the case then guess will just pay the 50 bux...

was more worried about time spent tuning it than the 50 as the place is only going to open for 3 hours on saturday.

If the tuner installs it + tune...do you guys think it can all be done well in 3 hours time?

mine sat on the passenger floor for ages

then it just got sort of tucked into place

but use the velcro thats supplied dont be povo like us

3 hours is ok for basic tune , depends what your mods are . if its mainly stock to clean up afrs should be ok

ok sweet...still...i don't see how it'll fit without drilling holes in the top bracket for the commander cable

if time runs out i might just passenger floor it too...

haha..that is povo tho...

i got mine 2nd hand (so no velcro) just before the prices rocketed thru...wtf hey? i saw a 2nd hand on ebay going for 1400.....

its like 100% profit tax free... but love for powerfc overcame monetry gains.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
