PowerFC vs PowerFC Pro

[JH32]

I'm sure there's been a thread on this before somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

I know that the PowerFC Pro has some sort of launch control, but is there anything else that it has over the regular PowerFC?

Is it worth paying the extra to get the Pro?

Just that I'm about to order one of the two, and the Pro is considerably more expensive by the time you factor in the cost of the hand controller.

it has two rev limiters one for when the cars wheels are not turning and one for when the car is moving.ie on the drag strip and your at the line.when you have the throttle flat you can set the limit to say 7500 for getting of the line and once your moving you could set it back up to 9000.

The rev cut is ignition instead of fuel from what I read

nengun

the pro is only 300 more than the standard (and that includes all the map sensors to remove the airflow meters)

[JH32]

isnt the jetro version the one that removes the air flow meters ?

Hey all...

The Differences between the PRO and the Normal FC...

1) Launch Control

2) Cuts The Ignition instead of Fuel (normal FC) at The Rev Limiter

There are 2 kinds of PRO Versions...Detro one eliminates the AFM's and replaces them with MAP sensors...

The other keeps the AFM's but has the 2 extra options...

Im Running the PRO Detro version

Hope that helps...

cheers

Dude,

I know your after the bling factor of launch control.

You can always add this later. I'm fitting an external sort of device which is launch control. Can use it with stocker ecu etc. Just a sequential ignition cut I'm pretty sure.

APEXi - AP. Engineering Power FC SPL.

anyone know what the model is for

Hey Dan

Yeh but I don't want to use the stock ecu because I'm using bigger injectors etc.

Also like the functionality of the PowerFC.

But it's all good because I have now ordered the PowerFC Pro

Cheers for the replies guys

Japanese says that POWER FC software will catch up the tunning point with HKS f-con. But they still believe that F-con is the best ECU tunner. But not many ppl can tune that in Australia.

I am running a Pro, the main reason being that you can't run the standard power fc (fuel cut) with NOS. The Pro uses ignition cut.

[R32-GTS]

The question is though for most ppl. How important is the ignition cut over a fuel cut as most aftermarket ecu's use a fuel cut.

[BoOsTeD_RB26]

James,

What I meant by that is that you can have a PowerFC, Microtec like eggy/dave, or whatever etc and add this external device and still get launch control.

Now that you've bought the FC Pro.....go and buy the software from nengun. $300-$400 del I think.

Exactly. I'd like to know this also.

What I can't understand is that why have Apexi changed the cut? E.g A stocker gtr ecu uses ign cut, whereas if you change to the regular FC, it uses a fuel cut. Odd.

What are you going with simon? Still going Wolf or what? Wolf use ign or fuel cut?

[R32-GTS]

Still deciding between wolf and power fc . Pretty sure wolf has fuel cut.

Yeah I knew what you meant but there's no point in having all this extra external crap when you can buy one unit with the lot included !

i thought u sold your car jimih ?? is there alterior motives here

[teejay]

maybe, just a crazy idea in my head, but the issues with cutting fuel in hi-po engines may have lead the pro version to cut ignition instead

or a more simple and uderstandable way of explaining is - ppl who want pro must have a high grade engine, therefore better to make it cut ignition then risk engines due to lack of fuel at high revs....

[JH32]

nah didnt end up selling it mate ... i took it off the market and kept it

decided to get a bit more grunt from it instead !
