FC Datalogit in MN?

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone in MN or the surrounding area who owns or has access to an FC Datalogit interface and software for the Apexi PowerFC ECU?

My car is running an Apexi PowerFC but I am having a difficult time finding someone in the Minnesota area who can interface with and tune the ECU.

Thanks in advance.

check out in this order: Turblown, fullblown, MAP I would bet one of those 3 can. Turblown is a forum vendor and great community helper so check with him first

Thanks!

I will contact the first two. I already spoke with the tuner at MAP and he unfortunately no longer has the interface for the Apexi ECU. I'm also going to check out RS Motors and DB Performance. There must be someone

I do not know Ron at RS knows anything about rotary tuning as a heads up. Turblown specializes in it. I know full blown has built a few

That's okay, the ECU is running a Subaru motor

I haven't been able to find the right RX-7 for me yet.

oh, well in that case, yea. ron would know haha, subaru and evo were his jam for a long time. Surprised MAP did not have one then.... I suppose it's due to everyone having there hand up the *** of some BRZ/FRS craze right now... such a fan boy car... (I'd secretly own one though)

The PowerFC is a pretty old ECU these days so I think a lot of shops are phasing out support as there are better options out there. Most people are open sourcing factory ECUs or going Haltech, MS, Hydra, or something else.

Thanks for suggesting Turblown though! Turblown has a Datalogit (turns out Ron does too, just maybe not the software). I'll probably have him check out the CoPilot open source PowerFC tuning software anways. Hopefully I can get a solid tune soon and can actually enjoy driving the car.
