Fuel controller thingy...

[Brett]

Should all cars imported from nippon have one of those aftermarket fuel computer wossnames?  I\'m off to look at a rex on Friday, should it have one?  If theres no sign should I walk away?  (I\'m assuming it should as the Japs run higher octane)

Ta.

[grinder]

they dont HAVE to have one (  he says !! )

yeah its nice if they have

/ take advice with a pinch of salt /

[Brett]

Ta,

 May just wack a PFC on there and have done though!

[grinder]

it depends on what you mean to be honest

if you mean the SAFC - then they DONT need one ( esp. if you have have an apexi fitted )

if its got an aftermarket ECU then that would satisfy me

[Brett]

I thought the Power FC was an after market ECU?  

Excatly how wrong am I?  Have I been grasping at the wrong end of the stick again?  :rolleyes:

Power FC is an aftermarket ECU.

SAFC is just a fuel controller

I think.

[Brett]

I thought that was the case, but just thought I\'d best check incase I was being fik.

Wheres best place to go for mapping?

[Shark]

all the usual suspects will do PFC mapping. you can take your pick really.

1 - the apexi is an ECU
2 - the commander - this is a plug on addition to the ECU that lets you see what is going on ( air temps / boost etc.. )
3 - the S-AFC - is a air / fuel computer - it runs along side the standard ecu and lets you change the fuel/air mixture at every 500rpm of the rev range - stops you running lean

i thing the ECU is prefered on the 3rd gen and a lot of peeps in the states run the S-AFC on the TII

i hope this helps ( and i hope its right !!! )
