Power FC
D-Jetro Model
For use with FC Commander 415-A030
For use with Boost Kit 415-A001
The Power FC proudly stands as
A?PEXi?s answer to the constraints and limitations associated with
most piggy-back style fuel controllers. The Power FC is a complete, stand alone, total engine
management system capable of handling virtually anything thrown in
its path. From multiple point fuel and ignition control to
VTEC engagement (Honda applications) and
boost settings, the Power FC is capable
of accommodating even the most demanding performance
enthusiasts.
Currently available exclusively through Power Excel Shops the
Power FC replaces the factory
ECU and controls all vital engine
parameters (Off road use only, no OBD-II). Installation is as
easy as replacing the factory ECU. (Some
minor rewiring is required on select vehicles). The factory engine
harness does not need to be replaced and all critical accessories
such as air conditioning continue to function. By using the
optional FC COMMANDER, the user can adjust and modify a wide
range of settings. Since there is no need to upgrade ROM chips or modify ECU?s,
the factory ECU can be kept by the
original user.
The Power FC operates off of three
Main Menus. These menus are: Monitor, Setting, and ETC.
In Monitor Mode, the Commander can display up to 10 parameters
of data in real time. Monitor Mode can display:
- Engine RPM
- Ignition Timing
- Vehicle Speed
- Air Flow Voltage (Pressure Sensor Voltage)
- Injector Duty Cycle
- Boost
- Knocking Level
- Battery Voltage
- Intake Air Temp
- Water Temp
In addition, there are 4 display patterns allowing 1-8
parameters to be shown on screen simultaneously. The data displays
in numerical real time values with the option of a real time 10
second graph display. Peak Hold values and Display Hold functions
only require the touch of a button. The Map Trace Mode allows Ghost
Map Tracing of the Fuel Correction and Ignition Timing maps. This
allows the user to visually see what point of the map is being used
in real time. The Ghost Map Trace function leaves markers on the
used portions of the map for easy reference.
Setting Mode allows full access to the 20?20 ignition timing and
fuel correction maps. The user can adjust any portion of this map
in 5?5 sections. Air flow correction values can be entered for
vehicles upgrading air flow meters. Injector pulse correction menu
is used when upgrading injectors. The Acceleration Enrichment
Correction function improves response under hard and sudden
acceleration. The Cranking Fuel Injection menu corrects the amount
of fuel delivered when the engine is being cranked, or when the
water temperature is cold. A separate Water Temp menu allows fuel
correction according to water temperature. The RPM menu allows rev limiter settings and idle
RPM levels. Access menus also vary
according to specific applications. Rotary engine Power
FC?s accommodate leading and trailing
ignition maps. Honda engines Power FC?s
allow for VTEC control. Complete boost
control is possible by using the optional Boost Control Kit.
Changing data is easy: just access the desired point on the map or
data, and push the FC COMMANDER keys in the appropriate direction.
The ETC Menu contains utility
parameters such as: version information, LCD screen brightness, and initialization of all
data. In addition, the ETC Mode allows
the user to monitor all factory sensors through one screen. This
screen can tell the user if any sensor is in use or
malfunctioning.
The Power FC also comes preprogrammed
with several base maps. (Currently with Japan Domestic Market
Vehicle Maps, minor initial tuning may be required. Please contact
your authorized Power Excel shop for more information.) This makes
the initial tuning process much quicker. As with all other fuel
controllers, the POWER FC should be tuned on a dynomometer by a trained
professional. A high grade air/ fuel ratio monitor is also
recommended during tuning to ensure best results.
FC COMMANDER (part of Power FC)
The FC COMMANDER is a hand held controller designed to allow
access to the vital parameters within the Power FC. The unit allows a wide range of data modification
through its large back lit LCD display.
The unit has been designed so that one finger can control a wide
array of data. Once connected, the A?PEXi logo will appear in the
screen taking the user to the Main Menu. From here, the user can
access the three Main Menus (Monitor, Setting, Etc.) The
FC COMMANDER
?communicates? with the Power FC control
unit thereby creating one of the first interactive user friendly
fuel management systems.
BOOST CONTROL KIT (part
of Power FC)
The Boost Control Kit is an optional kit designed to control boost
through the Power FC. Simple connection
to the Power FC allows the user to access
a full self-learning boost controller. The Power FC allows up to 4 different boost presets for any
stage of driving. The high grade solenoid valve is the same one
used in our Super AVC-R boost controller.
As with the S-AVCR, the Boost control kit
allows increased boost response and boost stability at high
RPM?s.
