The Power-FC does rev limit via fuel cut.

This has potential issues with heat / det.

Any comments from the mappers on this.

Is it best to drop the boost and retard the ignition before the rev limit activates.

Would it be prudent to look into a stand alone rev-limiter that works on ignition cut? The power-FC-Pro uses ignition cut.

Cheers

 

i have a power fc fited to my scoob and the rev limiter is a soft cut one. was messing with mine was going to use it as a kind of launch control and there was no knock link activety or the apexi commander knock sensor! this was done at 5000 rpm the mapping on my car was done by ccsperformance of tuxford and the boost is 1.bar rising tio 1.5 at 6000rpm then droped off to 1.3 to the rev limit with plenty of fuel in at that point and runs very well. only ever seen one green on the knock link ever

 

Quick question about the boost control. Does the Power FC control the boost via the stock 3 port solenoid? or do you need another controller.

Just asking before I get mine fitted/mapped.

Mine is a soft cut also. Andy F mentioned when he fitted it that you could set it to 3k for example if you were putting the car in for a service and didn't want them ragging it.

 

Hi Does the commander have a lockout facility, to stop unauthorised access to the settings etc. How is this done, password or key sequence?

Andy

 

Just lift it out the car.

It can have some functions locked out but think you need a laptop connection to do it.

 

The power fc does "i beleve" control boost but its not so good at doing it better off with a third party boost controller or the boost control kit for the apexi

John..

 

The Oem 3-port boost solenoid can be used with the Power FC or the Apexi boost control kit (with new solenoid) can be purchased and used

Cheers

 

John, If your PFC does not control the boost very well then it is due to the set up, not the ECU.
The power FC is a very capable boost controller and can run at 4 preset levels as set during mapping.

Sorry for the hijack, but would there be much of a point in having an AVCR fitted, if the PFC, is good enough?

 

sorry for to go off topic but how much do you charge to come out to map a car andy? i already have the ecu and commander but it needs mapping due to the car being an import.

 

My power fc does control boost, but i think a good boost controller will do it better. Thats my opinion and nothing to do with the set up of the car.

John

 

Well I have to disagree with you that it's "not so good at doing it" John, some of the boost controllers out there are much less capable and also don't have 4 setpoints like the Power FC.

Andy

 

Cool

 

Have to agree with Andy regards boost control..... i've found it more than capable. It takes a bit of time to get the duty set right (helps to have FC Datalogit so you can see the actual duty cycle) but once you have it the control is very good. Only set back is for pre97 cars you're limited by the standard map sensor to 1.2bar ish unless you get the PFC boost control kit.

Sorry it me been thick just been talking to CCS and it me getting it all wrong
