Hi, I have never posted on the fd section so don't freek out if this is already here somewhere, when I searched apexi powerfc a million unrelated threads pop't up.
I have a s5 tii swap'd fb and I'm running the fd apexi power fc ems with the commander. Yes it's a frankenstein worthy swap. currently I don't have the commander mounted anywhere I can easily see it while driving and I wanted to see where the fd guys keep theirs. thanks

 

thx to rx7rage, i use a apexi AVC-R mount bracket and some velcro. u can put that sucker anywhere.
(i'll try to get come pics soon)

 

 

here is a site that displays another way of mounting the pfc, the picts wont post:

this one looks good

 

That one is nice BigWillie, too bad its only for RHD. Thats the R-Magic power fc commander holder. For a while, I was trying to get ahold of one to reverse engineer it to work with US LHD FD's.

 

if someone did reverse that design it would be incredible. i would buy it

 

i think you can get it that way. its pretty much just a dash mounting piece with a bracket to hold the pfc. i can custom mold some, if you cant find one for left hand drive fd's. if you supply size and dash location i can make some. if your serious about it just pm me

just go to home depot to get some hardware and make your own custom holder (see attached pics) hardware will cost you $2 and you dont have to ruin your dash, velcro is annoying anyway they dont stick forever.

 

thanks for the pics everyone, keep them coming.

I have another question about the commander. What knock range of numbers should I be weary of and look out for. I have seen 54 before while at 10psi.
and also does any one have a pdf manual for the commander ?

Many people also DIY a mounting bracket right near the gauge cluster. I'm not sure if FB's have it, but FD's have a cigarette lighter hole just behind the steering wheel.

 

Saw someone with a custom made DIN piece for the commander. It sat in place of one of the radio dins. The face to the right with the keys to the left. It was custom done but would love to know if there's anyone out there with the look. Pics would be sweat.

 

AHarada, sick man. Thats what I'm talking about.
cheers

 

Here is one.

 

ill get a differnt angle later..

 

I made a plug to replace the sigarette lighter and screwed a plastic square on it with some velcro. Good visability behind the stering wheel and easy to remove.

 

nice setups . Is the display bright enough to see it from the drivers seat?

I have trouble seeing mine when the display glares from the sun.

mrlaw you hit it right on the button, where ever I end up mounting the commander it will need to be in some sort of view without having to take my eyes off the road for a few seconds to find it and get my info.

Here is a few pics of what I have to work with.





I'm thinking mounting it on the right side of the steering wheel behind the window wiper switch would be the best location. Anyone else see a trick hiding spot that I'm missing ? or another good place to keep it ? I wouldn't say that I have too many gizmos to pay attention to. but its getting close lol.

 

Which parameters are you watching on the Commander? Just curious... it may be easier to justify another gauge...

You can pull the commander apart with some patience and creativity, then maybe mount the display in one of the center console vents... that'd be clean and easy to read.
