About the Power FC...I don't quite get that no one could tune it in UK. Even if no one has ever done it, isn't it basically just changing the fuel/ignition parameters? And much more, if you want to...

And also you can get the FC Datalogit instead of the FC Commander. Datalogit allows programming through laptop, it has data collecting features, you can save/load the programmed data. Even download some basic maps for different fuel octanes etc and upload them to your car. I believe at least m http://monkeywrenchracing.com/ m offers these maps for their customers.

Check out their pages under Toyota. Good info about Power FC and Datalogit in there. And there's a LOT more info on Spyderchat, where monkeywrenchracing guy(s) post as well.

Edit: The Datalogit homepage is at m http://www.fc-datalogit.co.nz/ m

Not saying they can't tune it, just no-one ever has, so would you want to take that expensive risk? You'd pay for hours of labour for them just to work out how to use it, nevermind tune it.The UK sucks for tuning specialists s:? :? s:?

And now i stand corrected s:roll: :roll: s:roll: someone does know how to tune it.

Quote from: "Viggs"So if you could just replace your ecu with the apexi and you could use the commander just for viewing info!!

Surely this will give you more torque and better performace and then even more if you could get someone to tune it!!

A/C works fine with apexi too as it's a straight swap, heard you can have difficulties with others!

*yawn*. Programming a full ECU is an art. Sure, anyone can do basic setup, but without the dedicated software and full understanding of how to get the best out of that software and ECU requires a lot of patience and experience. Even when programming a much simpler piggyback requires extensive knowledge of how to get the best out of it. Just because I have a basic working knowledge of the Unichip doesn't I have a clue how to get the most out of an eManage ECU - and that's where you're only messing with a couple of dimensions worth of data.

I'm not saying the Power FC isn't a good ECU, it's ok as things things go. But it has no install base and no support and no experienced tuners in the UK compared with the thousands of units shipped and supported by Omex and Motec.

Setting up a base 'safe' map takes at most a couple of hours - and as far as I'm concerned, that's the only saving you make with using a Power FC.

Simon uses datalogit. Best check with him.
Other than that, Martin's probably right.

So are you saying a straight swap would give you no increase in performance?

sorry I don't have a clue when it comes to tuning!

I'm not really sure what is mean't by MAP!
What would basic MAP tuning? Just increasing everything slightly?

What is mean't by OBD-II?

I was just thinking of getting one in the future as hyline.co.uk sell them!

DOH. Not worked have you put your pictures on your web space now? click Img then the URL of the image then Img again

DAZ400 · November 4, 2003, 12:29

I know I don't know about this web stuff trying to figure it out give me electonics rather than software..... s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

What are you intending to do with your motor in the long run? Turbo, head work?

OBD-11 is the on-board-diagnostics. It's the white plug under the drivers side dash.

I don't want a turbo, Not really looking to do much!!

I just thought that changing the ecu may increase the performance slightly without being tuned (straight swap)! then the more you tune it the better performance!

It's only a thought at the moment as I might be able to get hold of one from Japan

hyline.co.uk sell them so i thought that i could ask them if they tune it, I just want to know what extra performance i would get if i didn't/couldn't get it tuned and just did a straight replacement!

I don't think you get any noise from them either!

As i said, not a clue when it comes to tuning! s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

NA a standalone is just overkill then. Go unichip as MPH got some seriously good figures out of it on his before going turbo.

DAZ400 · November 4, 2003, 13:23

Finally got it nearly sorted here you go a working link!!!!!

The pictures are of the A'pexi turbo, HID headlamp conversion controllers and my NOS arm Switch NOS indicator and engine start button.

ENJOY.......
