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.

Cheers :)

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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?

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.

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 !

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....

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
