anyone here using the power fc?

anyone with it boosting more than 10 psi?

 

anyone?

 

T... do you know about the new datalogger that over rides the Power Excel locks? All of my RX-7 friends use it and they love it!

 

where can i find info on that?

 

There was a link posted in here but I'll call my friends and post the link later!

im using the power fc and boosting 15psi.

have fun...

 

15 psi?

how with what map sensor?

thanks dee...
pretty cool

 

??????????/

 

no problemo bro'!

 

Does anyone know if you can use the power FC that's made for the teg GSR, or Civic EX on a 99 Si?

 

how?

info please?

 

GM 3 bar map.

 

the power fc isn't setup to use the 3bar map sensor...

so, how exactly are you doing this?

please elaborate
thanks

 

your right its not i had my car tuned at xs-engineering and i asked them which map sensor to run and they told me to get a gm 3 bar map. but the problem is when u decelerate it throws a CEL cause of the map. i called apexi and they told me they were trying to fix this problem. but i have not hearrd back from them yet. i would try running the MSD 2 bar map and see how that works out.

 

ah, ic....

that's what i did before...
i used a 2 bar map sensor and would always get a CEL whenever the MAP sensor voltage would dip below the lower limit of the power fc...

i thought apexi was going to come out with a software fix where you can swtich between using the stock map sensor and 3 bar map sensor...

guess they're behind on that....

thanks for the info thoguh...
i was hoping they had come out with a fix
heheheh

 

I ran 22 psi last year and plan to go higher with it this year. The problem with the check engine light is the voltage goes out of range. If you could somehow fabricate an electronis device to limit the voltage (some of like a electronic missing link) the check engine light will go away. The Power Fc is the ****. At our shop we have converted everyone to the Power FC from Hondata.

 

right, XS has to program your powerfc to use a map sensor other then one with stock values

you can run the odb-ii powerfc (mines from a civic type-r) in the 99/00 si you just have to rewire every one of the ecu pins from odb-iib to odb-ii.. its not that hard they pull out pretty easily

 

FYI: APEXi sells a 3bar sensor for use with the P-FC

 

how mcuh does the power fc cost? and will it work on a 2000si? thanks

 

the power fc is 1350 with the controller. If you get it from Carboy, they sell the 1 bar power fc and the 3 bar for the same price, xs is more. It is hella easy to use, you can go to http://www.spipowerexcel.com and download the instruction manual in adobe. It's for the rx-7 but you can see how to tune and calibrate it. yes it can work in a 2000 civic si, and you have to do is by a harness for 99-00 odbII to an 96-98 odbII from like http://www.godspeed.com , for $250, and require no splicing.

 

last time i remember,

i don't remember seeing a 3bar or 1 bar choice in the power fc programming...

dee, i know about the 3 bar from apexi...
but not sure if the power fc's for the honda are setup to even recognize it...

what XS engineering does is move all the mapping down to compensate for the 3 bar map sensor.... that's why it limits out the lower end of the map sensor range...

not exactly what the power fc was supposed to do, but it works... i know because i used to do that using a 2 bar map sensor.... it was a bitch moving all of those numbers down....


anyways, i really want to find out how to use a legit 3 bar map sensor where the power fc reognizes it.... maybe something to do with the PIM voltage...

boosted factory cars have it too easy

 

yeahi just called xs and they told me that they can't get the 3 bar map sensor for hondas, to just use a 3 bar from like GM. They told me thatthey will just ship it out with a base boost map, just tell they what you are running, injectors, engine work, cams, and they will send you out one that "should" start your car. changing the air/fuel ratio or injector size isn't hard to do on it at all though.
