power fc map sensor

terolla · 05-24-2009, 03:21 PM

can you use the power fc with a map sensor? doing a 3sge altezza swap with itbs and some how to info would be greatly appreciated

Edophus · 05-24-2009, 04:25 PM

there is a version of the power fc that uses map sensor for the sxe10 altezza, its primarly meant for turbo applications. I think it is the D-jetro version you want in this case. It costs more than normal power-fc and a system such as the link ecu etc is worth considering at that point.

Theres no VE table so i dont know how you could use the afm version with a map sensor. If you run an airbox you dont need to worry about the map sensor just use the afm.

I dont think there's a D-Jetro version for the Altezza unfortunately.

Yeah for ITBs and map sensor, definitely go for the link, or something that isnt the powerfc.

Powerfc works great with all of the standard sensors, (or swap for another AFM) but not so good when you go outside those parameters.

thanks fellas. with the link ecu, would the vvti, with itbs, still work like it should or is the motec the only one that will make this work properly?

Edophus · 05-25-2009, 06:51 AM

yup link will cover all that, where are you based? RST on here has a redtop with link ecu controlling vvti etc, his was converted to map sensor as he was due to have itb's fitted but havent heard from him in a while.

Depends on what version of the link, but yeah.

Just need to make sure that it's the right version of the ECU, make sure it's a VVTI compatible one when you buy.

Edophus · 05-25-2009, 04:08 PM

I think your right roman, i thought there was a d-jetro version but cant seem to find any evidence to back this up

I think we've all decided if you want something cheap using the stock sensor setup then powerfc will see you right, but as soon as you start using other sensors you really need something more customizable, there really isnt any middle ground so your into the fully stand alone ecu area.

Keep us posted about any progress terolla

You can use link, MoTec ( Aussie ) and Autronic ( Aussie )
Go Aussies

Prob is that there all going to be close to each other in pricing approx $3,000 aussie.
BTW the Link is from NEW ZEALAND. see where there US distributor is, dont waste your time with THOR
