    Thumbs up

    I need a new computer to run my GZE, but i don't know what will fit!

    I'm not expecting a straight, no mod fit, just something that'll run it well

    i was thinking a Power FC?

    Anyways, if anyone has a 4A-GZE and has a computer running it, could you tell me what it is... n' stuff!!!!


    thanks

    Dave

    Being a piggyback controller, you would be very limited to what you can do with it. Personally I'd spend some money and get a WOLF 3D V4, From what I've seen they can do a lot of cool stuff
    Why hesitate when you can accelerate???

    You talking about the PFC? PFC's are standalone, car specific, P&P affair are they not?

    I thought they were piggyback? meh, either way I'd spend some real money for an aftermarket ECU..

    went on apexi.com today...

    The Power FC is a complete, stand alone, total engine management system capable of handling virtually anything thrown in its path.



    I'm not sure weather they come out for the GZE specific, but i was talking to a guy at autobarn and he said a guy in brisbane custom installs and tunes them. I might be able to get one for $800, so i'm thinking about it...

    had a look that the wofl 3D v4 ems, looks good too, but i want A'PEXi

    any other advise???

    Sorry man but they are not a piggyback.

    You unplug your OEM ECU and plug in the PFC. Car specific in the sense that where you plug into the back is different for each specific car (obviously.... different size in plugs and actual pin out between models/makes). Also provided is a base fuel and ignition map but are more towards getting the car to fire and idle so you can go from there.

    So yeah, your OEM ECU gets wrapped up and put into the spare bedroom wardrobe

    Don't get confused with other Apexi computers like SAFC VAFC which are actually piggyback as you said. PFC is Full Replacement.

    as stated above powerfc is standalone plug and play

    highly capable unit, dont be fooled by the cheap price.
    they work great are there are more tuner out there that can tune them compared to the hks fcon
