Put Power FC in my Turbo 82!!
I did my S-5 T2 swap nearly two years ago. Full motor and tranny swap all S-5 parts. Anyways I finally got it all sorted out and running strong this summer. In October it Dynoed 249 at 10 psi. Then I ran across Banzairacing's how to on putting a FD power fc into S-5 turbo 7. All and all it was pretty straight forward, even easier for me, because I am notting running emissions..
The best part is I got to get rid of the electric oil metering pump and the air flow meter, I was on my third stock ecu because of the god dam electric omp. So I gathered the parts all used, except for the FD ait sensor,. The pfc, commander, fd map sensor, fd ait sensor, and fd ignitor, and you can use the stock S-5 harness, it takes a little repinning but no big deal. I started tearing everything out on new years day and had it running on the 6th. The most time consuming project was wiring in the FD ignitor, the pfc wont work with the fc trailing ignitor, so you have to use the fd ignitor pack. Other than that pretty straight forward stuff.
I have an appointment next Saturday for a tuning session at Ground Zero in Portland, I just put in 1000's in the secondaries and moved the 750's down to the primaries. So I am safe to like 400 flywheel horse power, I wont be close to that, but easier to tune it down, than up. Anyways, I thought some one might be interested in the swap.

The S-5 electric omp if it goes bad it will put your ecu into limp mode, if it goes really bad, it will fire the ecu, I didn't have a cel wired up and it went bad, really bad, twice. That is one of the main reasons for going standalone.

Guess Ill have to hope I never experience that lovely scenario.......5 years,so far so good!

The omp fried one ecu, I didn't know it went bad, no cel. Put in a second ecu yup fried that one to. So then I figured out it was the electric omp. So now I am on my third ecu and second omp. Just gave me back up omp to a buddy because his was acting up and sending the car into limp mode. But not a problem anymore, the pfc can go either way.

Have you brought this up with FiberMaz (13beef)? So that the next ones wouldn't have this issue?
