hello people sorry im new here



just picked up a fd3s before xmas



it come with a power fc not fitted



basicly i was given bothe the apexi power fc ecu and controller



the ecu looks secound hand



can i pulg in and use it or do i have to have it dome by speciliests??



i have downloaded the comander manual



but didnt know if there is a standard setting i can program it to or if i can plug in and it automaticaly goes back to standard settings or what



well thanks for your time people

How stock is your car? If you are still on twins and not ported you are probably ok just plugging the PowerFC in and performing a reset on it.

ok mate thanks for your time



its fully standard lol



was a early xmas pressy for me



shall plug and play now



is there like settings on it as well to say its a rotor engine not piston or should it just pick up straight away

ok have a major problem now.



i dissconnected the battery



left the car for a bit



took the plugs off the standard ece



plugged in the power fc



and then plugged int the commander



then i conected the battery up



turned the ignition on and initialize



then switched the ignition off and on



then start it up and it didnt like it



it is miss fireing big time and cant rev it it makes it worse



the screen comes up 13b so i guess its the right ecu and comander



so i dissconnected the battery and fitted the original ecu again



then connected the battery up



and fired it up and still no good



it runs sounds like misfiring



smoking bad white smoke smell very fuely and i can hear this clicking away int he engine bay



have i blown the car up??

does it run like a helicopter?



try pulling your plug wires on the front rotor out and see if it runs. Do the same with the back rotor. If it runs the same with the plug wires gone it's probably blown.

blown motor and fouled spark plugs sound almost identical.



the apex-i was probley already tuned for another set up other than stock. wich was most likely running more fuel than you need. wich would burn out your plugs.



try Part# B9ES from NGK.



there made for jet skis i think. work great. very hard to foul them. theres no trailing and leading. so they dont matter where they go. i ran them in my FD and run them now in my 91 Turbo II. and also in my 1980 first gen.
