i found a evo 7 power fc and the seller says it will work with some modifications if i install on the evo 8. ive searched everywhere and cannot find info on this. anyone know if it will work? or tried it? what is the difference?

also, what is the part number for the evo 8 edition pfc?
whats the number for the 7?
thanks.

 

bump, need at least the part numbers

 

Honestly if they say it will work I would be sure to get somthing in writing that states if it doesn't work will they issue a refund before you throw any money down. The correct model number for the D-Jetro is the 414M908 I believe, this model is specifically mapped for the US car. Just call Apexi they will tell you for sure but there are several differences this being the reason that Aepxi remapped and issued a new model number. Vendors have been know to import the 414M008 to the US becuase the EVO 7 has the same ECU Pins and they get it for alot cheaper for a better resale.

 

he said it needed some modification, but very minimal.. and that he knows its been done and if i do a search on the net i can find it? i dunno. hes selling it for under 900 including the commander. thats for ljetro. this confirms what you said about it being cheaper.

 

900 used? too much

Don't buy an EMS used ;-)

 

900 is way to much used for the L-Jetro and honestly if you are keeping the MAF (L-Jetro you have too) you will be much happier with a UTEC or Xede. And you will have to do minimal tuning with better results I can promise you that.

 

its brand new, never used. not used.

 

i doubt that. ive already found the limits of my current piggy back (emanage) i do not want the stock ecu in may car. it has way to many maps, can change them when it sees fit rendering the current tune less useful. through logs, ive seen it run leaner sometimes, and richer the other regardless of the tune. ive seen it run completely different timing curves when the temp has changed outside. the xede may be better than your regular piggy back, but it still uses stock ecu. also, with the ljetro you can run a larger maf that can read more air. i like the way maf's work. whos to say a map is better if they can both read the same amount of air?

basically im sick of the variability of the factory ecu. also, i have a turbo setup that will make 500whp.

 

Get HKS F Con V Pro is better

 

why would you get power fc with all the limitations in logging/tuning/knock retard etc?

 

I don't run a piggy back, I run the AEM so I was just trying to give you usefull information. Fuel/timing trims with different air inlet temp are needed just like the stock ECU. A map based system is more consistant than a MAF system in my opinion but everyone has a right to their own. If you want to run the PowerFC for a differnt car on yours go for it if you already have your mind made up then quit asking if things will work.

The Xede and UTEC are far better than the emanage, or PowerFC ever thought about If you have never seen a power fc and how you tune them they are like pissing in the wind, just hope it doesn't blow back in your face.


Good day partner

 

yeah, i doubt it will work.

 

i decided to go with something else once my motor is built

 

Good deal
