hello everyone, i ordered alot of new things for my ride...i have searched but i need clarification on one item its an apexi pfc w/ commander, i bought it brand new for $795 shipped, when i remove the stock ecu, i just plug it in and clip 4 wires correct, if my mods are downpipe, testpipe, catback, gredy pulley, will i be ok just leaving it alone or do i need to program it? if programming is needed where do i get maps for it?? thanx

 

search is your friend. go to engine mng. section

 

where did you get it for that price?

 

got mine new for 695

 

Ok someone has to PM on where they got the PFC + commander for those prices lol

 

you can get it on ebay from a dealer his name is jappartspecialist, he is in japan, all his products are new!!

 

Read my PowerFC FAQ -

http://www.clubrx.org/media/pfc/PowerFC_FAQ.pdf

That will answer a lot of questions about it.

Also, here's the best price going on the PFC -

I got mine from them - quick shipping, brand new in the box, no sweat.

when you say test pipe do you mean midpipe? I would get a boost controller and tune the PFC.

 

testpipe= midpipe so yea thats wut i meant...but heres hte thing the previous owner had another cat welded onto the apexi catback so technically id still have 1 cat...right now its precat-hiflowcat-normal cat, gay hah? thats why im getting rid of the pre and hiflow with the downpipe and testpipe.....any one know where i can get the feed or cwest freshair headlight cover?????

 

so what happens if you don't get rid of the 4 wires when installing the power fc?

 

i think the power fc surges and gets destryed(seriously)

 

That's a bunch of hooey. If you don't clip the wire It doesn't run as efficient that's all.

after reading your responses....I urge you to read these links completely

 

would you recommend a wideban o2 with the pwfc?

 

Yes. And have it tuned professionally, unless you're absolutely sure you know enough about engine management and electronics. Your $3000-5000 motor is at risk if you make mistakes here.

That's an outstanding read (as usual).

Dale, is there any capability aside from AWS and EGR that you give up when installing the PFC? If so, that would be good to add to the writeup.
