One person WAS using it, but he ditched it for an SDS instead. I think another member on here inherited it though.

I had one, but I never used it. I plugged it in once and then stuck it back in the box. After I bought it I screwed up the motor and had to rebuild it and so I took the motor another direction. After that the Apex couldn't do what I wanted with it. Gore has it now. I did tinker with it a little, but I never really did much tuning with it.

Sweet unit and very rare but sadly there was no D-Jetro version of it available for the CA. Due to this I am using a Hydra ECU on my big CA project.

How do you like the unit so far? Is it user friendly and a great tunning device?

I want to hear some impressions before purchasing, thanks!

Hey let me know if the oil pump is correct for the part number I posted a little while ago. The guy I talked to on the phone (Matt) didnt sound like he was 100% on top of it all...

Is this a standalone unit that can eliminate the need of MAF?

Thanks!

i always thought eh CA power FC was jsut a re-pinned adapter plug and there for you can use a SR20DET D-Jetro version just re-pinned or even a honda one etc..

the D-Jetro is there newer power FC firmware and uses a Map sensor instead of AFM.

we never played with it... just plugged it into my car to verify it worked (and it did) then he never installed it on his car! I think he's looking to sell it now too.

too bad I don't have enough for it, it seemed like a wonderfully userfriendly tool
