What is PowerBlock Basic?
PowerBlock Basic is a way to move programming out of the vehicle and onto the bench. It is a circuit board based system to control battery power, ignition (key) on and off, and the ability to apply 120Ω CAN termination for all of your bench programming needs.
In response to requests for a lower cost entry to the BenchForce system, we have created the plastic enclosure equivalent to our popular BenchForce PowerBlock. PowerBlock Basic matches the fit, form, and function of our popular PowerBlock II and uses the same circuit board assembly.
"Enthusiast" and "DIY" Explained
We recognize that many of our customers are very knowledgeable with ECU programming and already have a bench top power supply. For these savvy hobbyists and small businesses, this Enthusiast Starter Kit will get you going with powering ECUs on the bench. You will be expected to use the included power cable pigtail with your own bench power supply and wire the ECU pigtail to your ECU using factory schematics (not supplied by BenchForce) and a new or used ECU connector (not supplied by BenchForce).
Compatible with ALL BenchForce ECU Harnesses
As your business grows, you can choose from any of our BenchForce ECU programming harnesses. As mentioned previously, PowerBlock Basic is the equivalent of our popular PowerBlock II, but with a plastic enclosure.
