Apexi Powerfc Question

[MUZT3K]

Hey guys im in the market for a apexi power fc, and ive found a few but they are only selling the unit, do i need the wiring harness also or do you just unplug the stock ecu n this goes straight in? also, whats the average price id be looking at just for the power fc unit. thanks.

[mark660]

yep just plugs straight into the standard harness. i just payed $1150 for second hand pfc with h/c

[MUZT3K]

ok thanks buddy, also if it says its a r33 series 1 power fc, does it work with series 2's

[paulr33]

covered in the pfc faq, link is in my signature

[HEKT1K]

yeah James series 1 and 2 are interchangeable...

try to get one with the hand controller if you can, it's not absolutely necessary but it certainly helps. i paid $1200 for mine with HC

and yeah read the FAQ, it's awesome

Make sure it works before you buy a 2nd hand one..test it on your car first because they blow randomly and you wouldnt want to pay 1000+ for a dud

[paulr33]

i disagree with blow randomly, there would be very few powerfc failures traced back to a manufacturing fault i would think

more often than not its the user either jump starting their car with terminals backwards or not installing it correctly (ie harness not connected)

i am yet to see a single powerfc fail due to a fault on the ECU

all the ones ive had people ask me for help is when theyve done wrong jumpstart, mangled install, short circuited other stuff etc (like i did)

it certainly pays to do your homework and check before you buy (as the case with anything)

i payed $1300 for my PFC with H/C but i want to go to a haltech now so selling the PFC for $1250

[MUZT3K]

well i just bought one off ebay 2nd hand, $950 delieved from perth. he says its 100% working order

Just make sure if you do go looking for handcontroller its the right one or else it wont work.
