    Default Power FC for jzx81 1jz-- issues

    Ok so i have dont a fair amount of reasearch, what i seem to have found so far is that the power fc's run a 1j fine so long as they are manual and out of a soarer. Can anyone say they are using a power fc to run a 1j from a jzx81, plugged straight in and had no problems?

    Also does a power fc plug straight into any loom, ie does it matter if the car was originally automatic?

    Thanks for you help

    Cheers

    Bumping up old and off stoic thread for this question.I need help asap as car is getting tuned tonight,

    My tuner seems to think that my jza70 power fc on my jzx81 cannot be tuned with q laptop hand controller only.
    Can someone point me in the right direction as to what he needs to buy to make his software work for this specific ecu

    He tunes power fc all the time, Nissan mostly but can't get the lap top to communicate with my ecu

    Thanks in advance

    Most tuners use the FC Datalogit to tune the power fc via a laptop.

    If your tuner has the same unit as in the link below then he can tune it.

    FC Datalogit - Tuning Software for your APEXi Power FC

    try to avoid tuning with the hand controller at all costs.

    Thanks for your help man, sorry about writing been doing it all on I phone at work behind boss's back lol


    Next question
    Lost a few check lights they are doing funny things, I'm guessing it's an ecu issue being that the ecu is actually for a jza70?
    Car isn't Charging no batt light on dash but comes on ok when you earth the light pin (along with cat temp and brake light warning lol). The alternator also tested fine

    the charge light is wired threw the body loom not the engine loom, so ecu change shouldn't effect it?

    when you say the alternator tested fine you mean bench test or its is actually charging just no light comes on?

    all error codes, or should I say engine sensor activity can be viewed through the hand controller. injector duty cycle warning and engine knock CEL notifications are still relayed through the original check engine light. They just flash in different frequencies.
