Apexi Powerfc

[Phatboy]

I have the hand controller but don't want to fiddle around with it.

Is there a simple way to find out whether mine has the boost controller option with it?

Thanks

look in the engine bay for an solenoid unit or look at the ecu and see if there is an extra cable plugged in; appart from the loom and handcontroller.

If you just have the ECU

You wont have boost control.

Its a separate "add on".

[H@ME]

are they hard to find? the boost controller kit for it?

[Guilt-Toy]

i can sell you one for $250 complete

boost constroler kit not that hard to find,

but rather than sticking to Apexi, I suggest use other controler, Blitz, HKS etc etc. more gadgets for you to add on the car

[R31Nismoid]

there are better/easier use controllers on the market.

I'd never use the Apexi one if i had to use a EBC

[Phatboy]

Ok then, guess whether I have boost controller or not, better to get sometihng like the HKS EVC. Thanks.

can vouch for the EVC 6 by HKS....blitz idIII im told holds boost better though

im using the pfc boost control kit

set and forget - no mess no fuss

as the boost kit is integrated into the ECU

you have three extra features that most boost controllers dont give you

- you can see boost on the hand controller (including logging)

- you can use boost correction in the ecu

- the ecu will fuel cut if boost exceeds target by 0.25kgcm2

so if your set to 0.60kgcm2 boost and something in your engine goes wrong

ie the wastegate flap fails or something whacko most controllers will just keep going

or some may beep but theres not much else they can do - the PFC will fuel cut

and without fuel, the engine wont keep going, could avoid a potential failure from unlimited boost

that being said the latest and greatest is dual solenoid controllers

if you have a setup that warrants that level of control, go for it

can vouch for the EVC 6 by HKS....blitz idIII im told holds boost better though

Which one is more expensive? My impression is that more people use the EVC??

paid just under 600 for mine...new of coarse

blitz is a tad more expensive i think and now with the yen thing!!! whoaaaaaa

if you have the boost control kit youll have the following

MONITOR, 1 CHANNEL, BOOST

will display boost pressure - if you don't have it it will display ---

ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK

look at BOST - if its 0.00 or 5.00 you dont have it, if its 1.1ish you have the map sensor connected
