why would you use a power fc, its expensive and has worse features and less resolution than somthing like ummmm and ADAPTRONIC?

Power FC = failbus

24x24 map is like the atari of ECUs

i think you might earn a commission of adaptronic :blink:

im currently just looking at prices, but id be lying if i say im not keen on the pfc :ermm:

explain why immediately. we all demand to know the reason behind this silly talk, the design of a power fc is probably older than you are!

and the reason i reccomend adaptronic is because i bought one on a reccomendation, i was suspicious having never heard of it, then it blew me and anyone else who has touched it away! Plus the fact that the guy who built the things is only a phone call away is a massive bonus

thats exactly my feelings - ive never heard of it,

whereas the pfc is used in countless countless cars - and is also more readily available to be tuned

because we all know im not going to efi for the adaptronic, as good as they might be at tuning it, it wouldnt be appropriate lolz

They are on a lot of cars because they are old, reltively few people are buying them new now

Sit down and compare the features and you will find that the power FC sucks ass compared to the new haltech series, the links, the vipec, wolf and indeed adaptronic

And every tuner i have spoken to in Brisbane has tuned adaptronics and comment that its easy as piss! Kai zen garage like I said installs and tunes them for $1100 , look on the secret drift forums and see how many people are using them, they are also very popular in the US for the 'miata' crowd.

If you look objectively at the features im sure at the very least you will find Power FCs are gay, and in all likelyhood you will find that in a 4cyl application adaptronic cant be beat, especailly given the price

The datsun 180b was the highest selling car in Australia in 1973...doesnt mean its anygood now :blink:

I think a lot of people still use PFC mainly due to the availability of tuners and not wanting to pay extras for stuff/functions you dont use. At least thats the reason why I went the pfc way.

firstly i <3 a cronicly set up miata

and secondly i hear what you're saying andy - and im going to do some more reading/researching

Kai zen garage are in brisbane yeh? ive never come in contact with them before

and you are right - 1100 fitted and tuned is freaking hard to beat, and deliciously awesome :blink:

I hear that argument brandon, but in this case the Power FC is neither cheaper nor better! And every tuner i have spoken to finds the interface for the adaptronic a lot easier than the power fc. When i chose i talked to my perferred tuners first and got thier recommendations, Tristan should do the same, im not trying to be a prick i just really hate seeing people waste thier hard earned!

yeeh cheers man :blink:

Tristan, Kaizen garage isnt a big outfit but he is starting to get a name, he really only does adaptronics, but has done a lot of work in the drift scene. I could also contact my mate? he has one running his r33 he could show you, and should be able to install it and supply it really cheap then you can get it tuned anywhere you like!

man that'd be pretty sweet hey

let me organise my injectors and then we'll talk more seriously :blink:

FINALLY! Finish that freaking estimate. Hahaha managed to find my own mistake thats worth 50k. :blink:

I'm surprised that bloody rotary shit talk is still going on. After page 7 or so its just repeating itself. Harrys burger tomorrow night???

Bunta: Yea 1100 is a very nice price for that package.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
