Power FC + Commander
I'm currently talking to a seller of a 7. He has an Apexi Power FC + Commander on it. But we're discussing about him taking it out so he can sell it to me a lil' lower plus I want to work with a more stock 7. My question is, will the current settings be technically "erased" and readjusted to the factory stock settings? Will the car work w/o the Power FC.

Well, when you take out the FC, you'll have to reinstall the factory ECU. So, yes the car will go back to factory settings. What other mods does the car have?

Do some research, 3 mod rule, and the like.
Stock ecu's are available on the forum, look in the parts for sale section.

By the way, I forgot to note. The Engine has been blown. I'm going to have the car rebuilt w/ new motor. So would a complete new engine-build include the stock ECU as well? Or should I try to find a replacement if the seller no longer has the original ECU?

This is a recent thread discussing the need for an ecu. There is a ton of stuff like this in the archives.

a new engine will not include the ecu. you also need to know if the car has bigger injectors, mid pipe, or upgreaged turbo. if the car does then i would suggest purchasing the car with the PFC since you will need some kind of fuel management to support the extra HP and boost that you will be making.

This is what the car has on. Still debating on the Power FC. Though I know this FC would help greatly.

If your looking to work with a more stock car then buy a stock car. This car is significantly modded and needs the upgraded ECU he is running. Putting a stock ECU back on the car will blow any new motor you put in within a few short drives. If you really want this car and need to put this one back to stock I have alot of the stock components left for my car lying around like stock exhaust, ECU intercooler etc. if you need to I will give you a killer package price for everything you need. I wont be using it.

Sounds like it will be nice once you get a motor put in it.
