Title: Apexi ECU & Controller Advice
Post by: Rich Cheung on January 13, 2005, 09:31:08 AM
Hi guys, I\'m looking to buy the above in the new month or so but just have a couple of questions.

1. How do I know which model to buy. May car is on an M plate.
2. Where is the best place to buy and rough cost ?
3. Does it need to be fitted by a specialist like WGT ?
4. Will I need to get it RR or will the fitters tune it ?

Thanks in advance.
Rich

You need to know what year your car was made....  as for best place...at the moment i think Tak in japan is.  I got mine for 540 delivered...thats the ecu and controller.  As for fitting....depends on your knowledge.  They do just plug in and the you just go through a setup procedure.  If you can fit it yourself then do it...might save you a bit of labour cost, then take it somewhere to get tuned.  The base map will be ok.....depending on mods.... to enable you to drive the car to the tuner...   but be sure to take it to a rotary specialist who knows what they are doing.
