The Power FC with the Datalogit and a Wideband is pretty user friendly. Using just commander is pretty tough.

Alright my nest question is this...I might get another FD...a JDM RHD ENFINI...94...anywas..it is my understanding that since the JDM uses different sensors and ECU, I can hardly do mods besides intake and exhaust...why you ask...becuase...there would no way to tune it...my only way to tune would be...get a JDM ems..however all the prompt on the ems would be japenese...so what are all of my options...thanks

why don't you get the Japanese Power FC (it's still the zenki version) and use the datalogit. Datalogit is from New Zealand, they get JDM cars most of the time. So you know the datalogit works on the US power FC and Japanese power FC. To ask me, the power fc are the same, just get the years correct.

Ty I think you should just give it up guy its going to be a big pain if you try anything with that enfini because of the 8 bit 16 bit codes are different like we told you before.

What? Villision Motorsports, he said it was 94 FD (Jspec), which means it's a zenki model. (zenki = before model change). It will take the same U.S. spec Power FC or the Japanese spec Power FC can go into U.S. spec cars.

Maybe i'm not understanding the question...

There is no such thing as a US spec power fc. This is the reason you are told to remove 4 pins from the harness. I have a rhd 92 FD in Japan. I have run a 1/2 bridge with a 67-1 turbo.

yeah I forgot about Clipping the Pins But in Japan they use I think it is the 16 bit encoding on there ECUs and America we use 8 bit and it was my understanding that useing some of the American Engine Managment Products Will not work maybe the power FC is diff I would read more into this.

No. The stock ecu is an 8-bit. The current Apexi PFC is a 16-bit for all applications.

I was doing a little research on this lately...according to the sport compact car december 2003 issue...(Drift Dreams) on page 76 or 78 one or the other...A drifter in teh red fd kept poping motors...so therefore he had pettit racing install a j spec motor and he said they used his engine management system his wire harness but couldn't use the jdm sensors that came with his motor.

so therefore he had them switch and put his sensors in her...


So which is it?...can or can't do it..pettit says NO...But however the mojority of you say YES...

I would absolutely love to do that however...i whole reason i am asking this is for the fact that i have an opportunity to purchase it...i haven't purchased it yet...and if there is a chance that it won't work, I will not take that risk in haveing a fd that I can not do anything with!
