Power FC Power FC for Gen 2
Power FC for Gen 2
Hey Guys,
I just bought this AP Engineering Power FC off this dude who bought the car in from Japan and is wrecking it, its got the harness with all the yellow wires.
Now when i went to the tuner we found my Air temp sensor was reading a constant -4C in a city which never goes below 15C so i replaced that and noticed the car ran a **** load better anyway he said there was a error that came up on his laptop when he was playing around. We not sure what it was but something was reading -4.68 volts, now on the harness is many yellow wires however one is extremely long i am unsure of where this goes and was told by the previous user it was hooked up to the fuse box however he just ripped it out without paying much attention. Does anyone know where this is meant to be hooked up? and another thing do i require any extra sensors or something as i have been looking through the forum and there is talk about a pressure sensor etc. The car is a 1990 FC3S Jap Spec. Thanks for the help guys.
Cheers.

It goes to the speed sensor, it will not effect the operation of the Power FC. You cannot use the stock pressure sensor, you need to install one from an FD, Apexi 3 bar or GM 3 bar. You also need to install a FD intake air temp sensor.
We have created a kit for installing the FD Power FC into the S4 and S5, if you go to our website there is a installation "how to", this will help you with the AP unit install, it is basically the same with exception to the coil modification.

For Blue TII.
''it is basically the same with exception to the coil modification''
So for the AP you don't need the FD igniter?
The reason I'm asking it's because I have a AP for an FC and I was looking at your site that with the kit that you sell for FC you need the igniter from a FD to fire the coils. Does the AP ecu its specialy made for the FC with the change of the pressure sensor and IAT?
Thanks.

We don't use the FD igniter with the FD Power FC intall any longer, just 2 FC trailing igniters. The AP unit has an internal change that fires the stock FC trailing igniter with the 2v required to switch to from TI to T2. You still need to install a boost sensor and FD IAT for it to function properly.
