Power FC

[Cypher]

Has anyone tried using a Power FC or other such japanese computers (can't remember the name of the HKS unit) with the Barra240???

I was thinking of giving this a go but am not sure if this is possible?

Anyone had any experience with this? Or am I just being stoopid?

I doubt the Apexi Power FC would work as they are ordered specifically for the type of car you install them in and come with turn key base maps programmed into them.

If that is the case then someone needs to send a few XRT to the land of the rising sun. Would be interesting what the japanese could achieve with these cars.

Is the HKS unit the same?

The Power FC is a full ecu replacement.

There are a number of functions that are controlled by the Ford ecu that are not engine related, which realistically put this option in the 'too hard' basket.

A similar issue relates to say a wrx … although I run a Power FC in my Sti, in recent years as the standard ecu has advanced it’s been a far more difficult task to get replacement ecu’s to work.; standard ecu edit options when available (and they will be) are a far better option.

Oh I think there is potential to let a few japs tinker with the turbo. I'm sure they would be impressed with the car and its potential
