nv033 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 whats ur budget..... power fc is bang for ur buck $1150 from nengun u can barely match it (dont forget to add cost of larger afm ~$500 for a gtr) other comps like the others u mentioned run a MAP sensor hence bypass the AFM my opinion 1.microtech....good value comp if u cant get a pfc to match ur application waste of time on a gtr bc it wont control the multiple throttle bodies 2.autronic is good but is expensive once u add all the hidden items they dont mention when u buy one its heavy on the wallet hope this helps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51747-apexi-power-fc/#findComment-1022634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALL GTR Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 yeah that sounds alrite. I don't want to do my car cheaply. I want to do it so I can pump out massive power and not have to worry about changing from an apexi fc with seems "cheap" as such. I want something that will work from a mild tune to a wild one.

nv033 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 wild...please elaborate....400rwkw i think can be done with ease with a power fc...its just the other functions that dont exiist eg...launch control, antilag, data logging etc etc....all u would utilise on a wild motor....

raz0r$harP.UK Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 nv033 the Power FC Pro Spec.CPU has the 0km/h rpm limiter setting and Ignition cut used for rpm limiter which may be suitable...

Beer Baron Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 If you are going to go PFC for a "wild" car, I'd go with DJETRO. They do away with AFMs. One question is this 'wild' car going to be street driven? If so, I reckon a PFC is the best choice. Good value, zero installation cost, and plenty of people can tune them. If you want some logging functions too, buy datalogit. If you are buying a PFC (any type) then for sure Nengun is the place to go Richard Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51747-apexi-power-fc/#findComment-1023061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Apexi Power FC, Will they cope big power GTR's or is it best to go for a different angle like a Microtech or Autotronic?? All you have to do is look at kira wilsons (not sure on spelling) R32 GTR hes running a Power FC. And thier are many 9sec cars in Japan running Power FC's Its more a case of budget performance. Where you don't have the advantages of Traction Controll - Wheel spin monitoring, 1/4 mile read outs, hp read out. As what other ECUs like Autronic can offer. But at a much higher price level.

Sydneykid Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Mmmmmm BIG POWER, well the Apexi drag R33 GTR (V Max) makes 1,100 ps using a Power FC with AFM's. I have yet to see a limit to how much power a Power FC can handle. Their injector control is pretty awesome, 1300 cc injectors are no problem. They have enough map references, both ignition and fuel. Add a Datalogit and you can log your runs and control a few extra things like intercooler sprays etc. The only step up I would consider from a Power FC is a Motec M600 and you are looking at 4 to 5 times the Power FC costs by the time all the functions are enabled and full initialisation, set up, wiring and tuning is completed. Hope that is of some help. BTW; V Max runs 8's at 165 mph. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51747-apexi-power-fc/#findComment-1023655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo2000 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 damn you sydneykid stealing my thoughts and getting all the credit PFC is the bomb, if you need something hardcore MOTEC is the alternative Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51747-apexi-power-fc/#findComment-1023777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoughBoy Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 All you have to do is look at kira wilsons (not sure on spelling) R32 GTR hes running a Power FC. And thier are many 9sec cars in Japan running Power FC's Keir Wilson's running a PowerFC piggybacked with a Motec. I think one of the reasons for doing this is as he retains the standard style ATESSA which requires input from the ECU - something Motec + Autronic can't do(?). You'll need to run either a standard ECU or PowerFC to retain the standard ATESSA system, or change over to a manual ATESSA setup like the Veilside or Jun ones.. although I can't see the value in one of these over a home-made job. If you want to run a complete datalogging system as well as an electronic dash the PowerFC + Pi System 2 or AIM dash (or another brand) would work a treat, the PowerFC + dash would cost less than a Motec dash by itself.

CONRAD Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I've recently aquired a R32 gtr, it's running a microtech MTX-12 ECU.. I've heard mixed opions from people about the computer. Is it worth upgrading to a PowerFC at any stage? Or is that going backwards?

nd4spd Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Check out the latest Zoom mag for ND4SPD it runs a wolf plug and play and has noe made 682rwhp im street trim on BP ultimate fuel.Now going single throttle body so it will make a lot more by late next month.Wolf can run TPS v MAP or MAP or MAF for air sensing and does boost control etc standard were PFC this is a major cost extra.
