Power FC and SAFCII compatability Sat, 30 July 2005 02:31 Go to next message
Hey guys,

I've got a bit of money in my pocket at the moment and as you prob know from my last thread I've ordered an HKS Type S fmic.

I'm now looking at purchasing a power FC. However I currently have an Apexi SAFC-II controlling air fuel mixtures and a turbo smart eboost controlling boost. My question is can I have the Apexi SAFC-II as a monitor to view simple things like throttle percentage and everything else that it monitors but use the Power FC to control the air fuel and timing. I know you can use a different boost controller with the power FC but can I keep the SAFCII plugged in and powered yet let the Power FC control everything but boost.

Also, I know this question is subjective but how much better do you think the Power FC is at controlling air fuel mixtures as apposed to the SAFC-II? Do you think the cost of the Power FC is justifiable by a fairly large performance increase over the SAFC-II?

Thanks in advanced.

Can't the power FC tell you the same stuff as the SAFC? I would have thought it would seeing as how it is a full ecu not just a piggyback.

Then you can sell the safc to pay for some of the power fc. That is what I would do.

The power FC does tell you the same stuff I think. But I like the look of the SAFC for minitoring things. The Power FC hand controller is very small and plain.

Yes just have the settings off on the S-AFC.

Im using the AVC-R which is wired in but not plumped and have the settings off so its bascily in monitor mode.

Just make sure you turn on the lock for the safc incase someone plays with it
