Power FC

[wiggy]

Right, I\'ve bit the bullet and ordered one

Now, I shall be fitting it as soon as it lands. Who do I let loose on tuning it though?

Pip seems the likely candidate with him being the closest???

I got it now so I can build on it. The plans are forming for the car and hopefully by next spring she\'ll be getting there.

I have also ordered the commander too

Now, where to buy the datalogic from? anyone got any good contacts for this?

Cheers

Yes Pip would be your best choice that far north.

As for the Data logit, buy it from their site. Cant go wrong then.

I\'ve done exactly the same thing too ! Sent from Japan Today so hopefully it will be here in about 1 week ! I\'m definately booking it in with pip for the setup, but may have to wait till end of next month to do it (afford it, lol).

It will give me more options for the engine setup, and help me keep a close eye on my car ! Its mainly standard, but that will change (again cash dependent, lol)

I have an  Apexi Power FC too, is it a no-no to adjust the boost settings myself then?  I mean just raise the boost a little from 0.8 to 0.9:D  
Also , is the overheat warning light (faulty sensor) supposed to flash occasionaly when driving like mine does?

cheers,

Two quick questions Gents :

a) What ball-park figure did you pay for your Power FCs UK landed? Is that with the Commander too ?

b) Can you have an MOT setting for the Power FC, therefore doing away with the cat ?

OK, maybe that\'s three questions......

Cheers.

I\'ve been looking around since I bught the car back in May for the best deal and I found it through Greenline in Auz. All in with shipping, paypal fee and an Apexi rad cap I paid £470ish complete with commander

I have had words with them about avoiding duty in my usualy ways and they are more than willing to help out, so hopefully when it lands that will be it

As I\'v previously said I use a few methods to avoid duty and the\'ve worked so far importing turbos, front mounts etc for previous cars so I can\'t see why it won\'t work this time.

Speak to Jason at greenline enquiries@greenline.jp

I told him to expect a fair few orders if mine works out as I would be singing their praises on here

A mention of my name would be good too, might get a discount on my Apexi front mount then ....hehehe

Cheers

No worries Wiggy, thanks.

Probably won\'t be investing heavily until next year, and then I want to go quite mad with exhaust, cooler, induction, maybe extra injectors, and of course PFC. We\'ll see !

Blimey, i thought i got mine cheap. It was 540 all in from japan with free commander. how much was the postage from Oz ?

I think from a past thread it was about 200 quid for pip to install and tune. I suppose it depends what is already done to it !

Its probably easier to find a friend mot tester, wount want to run it lean just to get it through the mot, even if that was possible !

£284.94 for Pip to tune mine last Tuesday, nearly dropped through floor

Time to learn how to do it myself i think...

[wiggy]

I need to get hold of the datalogic for when it arrives. Me and my m8 used to do his GT4 with a Power FC using the datalogic so I can\'t see the REX being that hard.

We managed to get his 4 over 400bhp without causing any probs so I recon a mess about with it and I\'ll soon have it sussed.

I also mapped my own car using the DTA P8PRO myself  from scratch as no one had used it before on the GT4 (3SGTE). They are all the same basically but learning the optimum for the rotary will be the biggest challenge me thinks.

I am also on the look out for a decent wideband setup, I used the Bosch one on the 4 with some DIY control unit from Auz. Anyone got any better suggestions for the rex? This way you can get the self learn mode up and running to sort out the fuelling

Its a shame more people won\'t share their maps with the FC. I can understand why they don\'t but it seems a bit silly? If you visist the DTA forum everyone on their is more than willing to save and send out maps for people to try.

Power FC, commander and Apexi rad cap all arrived today. Took less than 5 days for delivery and no customs charges

All this lot for less than £470....BARGAIN!!!!!

I\'m a happy camper now.....My speedo converter came as well so no more kmh reading for me....yipeeeee

I\'ve got mine too, but unfortunately i had some tax to pay on it (even though it was listed as worth 50 quid). Cost £25 to retreve, had to pay for parcel farce to move it from customs ! Is you manual in english or japanise. Was going to ask on the club of anywhere i can download the english version. Its getting done with pip, but would like to read up on it first and at least understand something about it ! Think mines cost me 560 from japan. Looks like i\'ll be looking at buying stuff from oz in the future !

There is a sticky in the tuning section with links to Apexi manuals.

Do you need a boost controller once you have a powerFC?
