just spoke to the manufacturer....this ecu will support BOTH afm's and map based tuning. Runs a 32bit processor which is twice as fast as Autronic SM4.

will be due for release at the end of the month

you'll now have shit load more people coming around to this product due to AFM capability.

preliminary testing has shown map based tune to be just as good as AFM based in all facets...light throttle, idle, cruise etc..

but due to the dual functionality of the unit, you can run it either way

Hand controller available ? if so can you monitor everything with the h/c and comeplety tune the ecu using the hand controller?

If it dont have that kind of functionality like the PFC I will be keeping my PFC.

don't you have a laptop?...much easier to tune with a laptop

manufacturers have steered clear of producing a H/C as this is not a boyracer ecu...its a high end product...so no hand controller (maybe we can see if adapter for Apexi H/C can be done in the future...difficult to do...but not impossible...as this would be a nice feature to please all the Apexi lovers out there)

digital dash is being produced for this unit also...displaying most importantly...KNOCK or lack of it

lol Yes i have a laptop and have datalogit as well.

What if you have 2 maps, one is a race tune map for c16 and one is a 98 octane map, you fill up at a servo and find your engine is knocking its head off.. ahhh bad batch of fuel mate.. You can't exactly switch it to the race tune map can you ?

As much as it is cool to drive around everywhere with the laptop plugged in.. not... its good to be able to get into the maps and change them on the fly for the conditions. Yes I am a Apexi PFC lover but I must say I wont keep it if something comes up that is better and does what I need it to do.

you know what to do when that occurs but....99% of Power FC owners would not have a clue. I see what you mean though...this ECU is not for everyone....ill show you 1st hand the product and we will give it a run in your car and we will see if we can convert you.

Yeah cool.. I will give it a go...

I am all for local products.. if your comparing it to the likes to autronic / motec maybe you can ask the guys to put ignition knock corrections like the standard ECU.

So if the ecu see's knock it will drop the timing to drop the knock automatically....

I know the AEM ecu does this and the Nistune ecu does this (stock ecu). they are the only 2 ecu's i know that can do this.

Power FC is only a "flashing light"

Maybe ask them if they can do that, and also can you plug in a wideband afr meter for tuning and auto tuning. EGR inputs

how many aux inputs will there be on this ecu ?

your getting me excited now lol... also the cost would be interesting to know.

I can see this costing $2k+ judging by the features.

If its not sub $1400 then its certainly not going to replace the Powerfc in a hurry.

$2K is around the ballpark

will not be sub $1.5K

around $3000+ less than a MoTeC

its more a ECU for those looking for advanced features and datalogging.

think about it...sell Power FC, AFM's and boost controller and upgrade costs next to nothing

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
