FS: Apex'i Power FC Commander

Hey all,

I have an Apexi Power FC Commander for sale. I was going to buy the parts (ecu/commander) separately, but ended up getting a good deal on the set, and now have an extra commander.

It came in the box, with the velcro sticky tape, and looks pretty much new. It has been used, but from examining the unit, it looks hardly used.

There is a tiny tiny scuff mark on the screen and some small scuffs in the handle, but nothing noticable unless you look really really close like I did. lol.

Here are some pics; See for yourself.

Brand new (which this pretty much is) retails for about $350usd, and some places sell it for about $320usd plus tax, plus shipping, blah blah blah.

I’m selling this fabulous unit for $320 obo. That fair? I think so considering the excellent condidtion its in.

What does it do?

Straight from the webpage:

"Characteristics:
The Power FC replaces the factory ECU and controls all 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. By changing various parameters and data, the Power FC will adapt to any of your performance needs. Since there is no need to upgrade ROM chips or trade in ECUs, 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 at once. 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 20x20 ignition timing and fuel correction maps. The user can adjust any portion of this map in 5x5 sections. Air flow correction values can be entered for vehicles upgrading air flow meters. Injector pulse correction menu is used when upgrading injectors on the engine. The Acceleration Enrichment Correction function improves response under hard and sudden acceleration. The Cranking Fuel Injection menu corrects the amount of fuel 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 specialty engines. Rotary engine Power FCs accommodate leading and trailing ignition maps. Honda engines Power FCs allow for VTEC control. Complete boost control is possible by using the optional Boost Control Kit (Not necessary for vehicles that come factory turbocharged.). 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.) 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.

I’m selling the controller that allows you to monitor, select, and control all of the above mentioned. The ecu is separate. Just figured it would be cheaper to buy this separate, as the companies always want a lot of money for it. You can buy the ecu separate, as there are a lot of people that run the Power FC on its own without the controller.

How much does the computer usually go for?

They retail for about $980usd, but you can find them around for a lot cheaper. Somewhere in the area of the $800usd mark.

I’ll be having a new commander coming within the next couple of weeks, so for a few dollars more, someone can take the new one, and I’ll keep the used one. I don’t care much, it will just be sitting in the glove box anyway. lol.

BTW: The commander can be used with any of the models of the Power FC for all the models of cars. (I think).

do you have a power fc in your car?

Not installed, but one has been ordered.

Awww, come on, plan ahead, you know you’ll need one in the future :wink:

Ya caught me a couple days too late man…i just found a hookup on a power fc with controller at a cheap price so i had to go with that…good deal on this controller though…good luck with the sale.
