i reckon we buy one (A FEW guys) and loan it between each other.id love to use it but only for a week or so, as a long term months procject it would be useless but for weeks it would be fine

Yeah that would be good heh, I mean, most people only would want to use it once or twice probably and any minor adjustments after that can be easily done with the hand controller, hardly worth the $500.

Personally I think they are a little on the pricey side, really, it's basically 1/2 of the cost of the whole powerFC unit again. I'd pay $200-300 for this sort of thing, but $500 is really pushing it a bit.

Ok, for tuning purposes the hand controller does basically the same as the datalogit. BUT there are a hell of a lot more fetures which imho make it worth the little extra...do a search and you may be suprised what you can do with it :) from SK:

OK, but only the ones that you can't access via the Commander

Inlet air temp fuel map

Water temp fuel map

RPM acceleration fuel map

Cranking Injector dwell map

Water temp versus boost fuel correction

Inlet air temp versus boost fuel correction

RPM Load Point table

AFM load point table

AFM voltage table

Ignition versus water temp correction

Ignition versus inlet air temp correction

Ignition dwell versus RPM correction

Ignition versus battery voltage correction

Ignition versus boost correction

Individual injector trim

Injector lag versus battery voltage correction

Via the Datalogit there is also;

Antilag via injection

Antilag via ignition

Intercooler spray

Basically anything that you want to turn on or off

Then there is the logging

Every standard sensor is logged

Plus 4 others (eg; lambda, brake temperature, suspension travel etc etc)

as well as :

All of which are important once you reach the limitations of the stock afm/load point base map setup.

Swapping to a Z32 or VH41/Q45 AFM does zilch in its own.

Software is required.

There's also the A/C and non a/c overheat fan temp switch.

see? The power FC is not to be laughed at... its not a bad little unit at all.

Oh and the guys wanting to use a datalogit on a few different types of cars - you can't. Just like the hand controller, you need a specific version for a specific power fc.

sorry.

If you get the newest version of FC daalogit it will work on old versions..

My powerfc is a much newer one - I've been waiting a couple of weeks for the tuner to get the updated software..

P.s. When using the FC datalogit do you just use the Connection where the hand controller connects. I've made an extension cord for that so I dont have to keep taking it on and off the mounting position.

What is the other non round connection on the powerfc for?

Cheers

It works on older versions of the same car. But you cannot use it between makes and models of vehicle.

Yes it goes into the hand controller round plug.

I think the other connector on the PowerFC is for the optional APEXI Boost controller.

well, the guy got back to me and he said that he'll do 10% discount on 10 units, and 15% discount on 15 units..

so yeah, I can't see many people ordering anyway. Still wondering if I should get one.

ok, well, I'll give it a try.

So far we have -

1. The Mafia

2. Beer Baron

3. Stolly

4. Snowman

This is what I am thinking. When we have a confirmed 10 or 15, I'm gonna need the money up front, and I am gonig to need to pay him to get in the order. Could take up to 3 weeks.

If everyone is cool with this, let me know. There are quite a few forum members here that know me well, and will let you know that I am reliable and not out to get anyone. I just want my datalogit! lol.

Would it be a good idea for me to gt him to ship them to separate addresses, or get them all shipped to me and then distribute them from there? Dunno how he'd want to do that. I guess if I shipped them it would be extra freight. So probably not a good idea. I'd just give him 10 or 15 addresses.

Has anyone gotten a quote off the New Zealand site to see if they are cheaper? I trie to email them but they never responded.

Let me know any more thoughts of suggestions. I am new to group buys.

Updated List guys -

1. The Mafia

2. Beer Baron

3. Stolly

Do I have to register something with SAU or something to do a group buy?

and here are the features from Bl4cK32's post -

    • I left that life behind me. After so many rod bearings... (Had quite a few M3s)
    • Both Coils and Loom are OEM from the dealer.  I have not tried the Chinesium AFM. I Might today. Will get a timing gun to check this, to be honest I been meaning to check the timing because everything timing related is as the car came from Japan, being set by whatever shop did the timing 1.5k miles ago. I believe it is running rich all the time actually, as the pops and bangs feels like unburnt mixture in the exhaust. But I will check the pump and regulator. PS also new OEM fuel filter is in during the maintenance before these slew of misfires started. Cas been placed on the same position as it was before removed, same markings that were left by the shop that did the timing before I bought and imported the car. Thank you all for the responses so far by the way. Seems like I need to pay more attention to CAS condition and timing. Will check on that and report back here.
    • Buyer beware. Assume everyone is dodgy on the internet unless proven otherwise.
    • Try unplugging the smaller plug from the controller under the parcel shelf. right side when standing at the boot (HICAS controller). It's sort of saved me from the car killing me (HICAS spazzing out),
    • Been looking at the MK60 too but looking at a few options for my shitbox
