FC Commander is the handset for Power FC. Power FC is a standalone ECU. Plug n play. :)

Just a note:

Power FC is plug n play but is car based. Haltech is universal.

Hi,

Power FC is car based but it is stable than Haltech. Why i say this is bcoz normally haltech give a lot of headache to tune the car idling, but Power FC is just like normal ECU ( which mean all standard maps r provided ) so can just tune for ur performance instead of wasting time on idling or others map.

just my advice :)

PFC is a standalone ecu. Just remove original ecu and plug pfc you're ready to go. Its got a learning process that stabilises after a bit. What i like bout the PFC is that it reads from your existing sensors. Too lazy to sit down and reinstall new sensors. With proper software (available in English) you can tune real time every parameter including boost if you run Stock turbines. If you have aftermarket unit then just get the solenoid.
With that Said:

ANYBODY HAVE A PFC COMMANDER for sale ??

I need Commander Part Number : 415X001
Same as All Nissan Model except RB25DET 1998-2000model,All Honda Models,All Mitsubishi Model.

The software is called datalogit. You want to be very careful when you tune though. Go slow and tune out negative(-) cells on your fuel maps, turn on fans earlier,set knock sensors etc. What model do you have?

it is possible to buy the official Power Excel software now from Japan - package includes the junction box needed to hook up the PFC to your laptop. I wouldn't play with settings on my own though, I'd leave it to my tuner. If you are running PFC, get your tuner to buy the APEXi software if possible, if not, the hand controller will suffice (takes longer, certain features may not be accessible - mainly applies to PowerFC Pro models with the launch control and ignition cut rev limiter I believe..)

ps Datalogit is a 3rd party software from NZ.

I will ask around for you about the commander. But I believe the part no is not important. The most important is the software version in the PFC. There's one case one of the user had upgrade to newer software version of the PFC (ECU), the same commander using it's not working.

I heard it datalogit and I even email to them to ask them to give a lower amount in their invoice due to I might reduce the tax but they refuse to do it. I've told them I'll pay the exact amount but seems like they don't cooperate.

Apexi believe that the fans control should be at about 80 deg. C right? They believe at 80 deg C the engine can perform it best.
