PowerFC doesn't have any failsafes. It tells the engine to run in the manner it's programed. It doesn't natively support any sort of failsafe that will cut power to the engine.

So now you're having to invest in additional loggers and controllers to have any sort of failsafe functionality. Now the cost is going up!


Infinity supports a failsafe for any parameter it reads if you want there to be a failsafe on it. I've got my sr20 Infinity setup with wideband afr, fuel pressure, oil pressure, boost, water temp, oil temp and ethanol content, all going directly to the ecu itself. If I set a max or minimum parameter I want for any of these the computer can trigger a fail safe.
I've basically got the Infinity set up to a point where I couldn't blow up my sr20 if I tried, aside from an all out catastrophic component failure.
