rob gets royalties though

Thanks very much Charlie.
It is indeed very nice of you to provide all the data to public. Trust me if you live nearby, a reflash tune by you would be my top choice. I am just helping Apexi to get the information and hopefully it would benefit Elise community. Really appreciate your help!

charliex · 10-12-2007, 12:03 PM

No worries

The more the merrier i say, i hope they can figure it out, be nice to see a complete standalone that can run the cluster too.

Isn't Apexi bankrupt? I know you can still buy the Power FC for 2ZZ-GE and some other engines, but the models for some engines are no longer available. I just think it is surprising that they'd invest in this, especially since there would have to be two different harnesses. But if it works out, that's good news for me because I'm finally selling my tuning and datalogging software for the Power FC. And it would be good news for Lotus owners because the Power FC gives you total control and there is a wealth of knowledge.

Apexi japan filed for bankruptcy protection i believe, (like chapter 11 here) last febuary, i don't know if they're actually closed shop.

Beanie... Little Rocket... Wow, I feel like im on spyderchat over here!

I am looking also for the pin-out information of the ECU 2005. I am not able to find the pin out info into the technical data... any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

It's going to be very interesting if we can use Power FC. $1200 w/ commander which will be the cheapest standalone ECU for us so far. Look forward to seeing that happens.

Any progress on this or updates? Im familiar with PFC and would love the option for my turbo elise.

Unfortunately Apex'i decided not to work on the harness due to small quantity of our car.

Hi 2-Y-CHROMOSOMES,

Haven't seen you for a while. I started a new business in Feb and since then I didn't have time to drive my car at all. I would love to have a ride on your car again. However I am just afraid it will boil my blood again.

Didn't it just take a custom wiring job by lilrocket/Boosted2.0 to wire in sleepless's PFC on his 05?

Beanie · 08-14-2008, 07:17 PM

I wouldn't say "just". LR said it was a lot of work.

Anyway, he's kind of busy putting a V6 in an MR2 Spyder, I do believe.

dustylax · 08-20-2008, 07:51 PM

can anyone confirm the bit of info i heard about Hydra getting the clips needed to produce a plug and play harness now ?

Lookey at what's "under development" on the Hydra EMS redesigned site:

Hydra EMS :Applications:

Quote:

06 Mazda Miata

06 Lotus Exige

08 Mitsubishi EVO X

Of course, the 03+ DBW GTS version took over a year to actually be released after they put it "under development". I emailed them in December and they did say they're "working on a PNP harness as they speak" with no reply to a follow up email back in June. I'm sure some people would love to run on this 355 days of the year for optimum power, and run a OBD-II compliant piggyback tune for that one inspection day without the insane cost of going DBW EFI...
