Apexi PowerFC or FC Pro??

[slayer]

hi guys, appreciate any input on this:

Does anyone know the difference between the Pro and the normal PowerFC? Is it that the Pro model deletes the AFM usage and uses only a MAP sensor?

Secondly, is the boost control offered by the Apexi PowerFC boost module THAT bad? If I can get a PowerFC second hand and the boost module is $150 for it (second hand), what reasons would I have to pay the extra for an AVC-R?

I only plan to run the stock turbo (so I guess 12PSi is safe limit?), is the boost control just dodgey with this approach, and I should use an AVC-R?

Thanks

I beleive the Pro version gave you the Boost module & was more based on drags.

If you want to leave your stock turbo go for a SAFC theres no need to fork out $1400+ when u can spend $500 on what you need done.

I've just been to the nengun website and they are selling "GTS t R33 USED APEXi POWER PRO VERSON F/C H/C boost controller and greedy speed cut unit" for $1600

I want both a boost controler (so i can take advantage of my high flowed turbo) and a computer.

Should I get a normal powerFC for around the $1400 mark and get a seperate EBC (suggestions needed on what unit to get).

OR

get the above powerfc pro with its boost controller?

I'm looking at low 13sec 1/4s, and currently have turbo back exhaust, pod filter, high flowed turbo, hi flow cat, standard boost. FMIC goes in on thursday this week too.

Thanks for your input

From what I've read, it seems the pro has more load points and has the benefit of an auxilary rev limit which is great for consistant launches.

Ie. set the aux rev limit too 3000rpm, flaten the throttle and it'll sit there at 3000rpm until you start moving. Great for drags.

Here is a good read on SDU

Thanks Jay,

Most of the dicussion on that link is about GTRS especially R34s.

What should I do?

Yeah, but I'm sure it'd apply to the GTS-t's as well.

If in dought, drop APEXi in USA a email and ask them. But I'd be inclind to go with the Pro - not that I've ever been with a Pro :lol: :lol: :eek:

That'll be my next big investement on the car, a PFC Pro with the ad-on boost controler.

I am running a power fc with boost controller and it works fine.

For $150 it sounds pretty cheap and I am sure you could get your money back by reselling it if you didn't like it.

Is the powerFC pro vs powerFC more expensive to install and tune or are they the same?

What workshop should I call to enquire about installation and tuning the pro with the addon boost controler?
