Apexi Vs Motec

[maximtaylor]

I\'ll be getting Motec soon (ish)

I\'ve been spending a bit of time mapping an FD with the M800 and absolutely love it!

Think the ECU will double the value of the car

If I had the spare cash to throw at the FD I would definitely go Motec.

Played with the software available and it is all very impressive stuff.

Any of the Reworx crew who are responding on this thread able to tell the approximate cost of the Motec units?

Me too :InLove  (love it - that is).

the number plate on the rx8 is a bit of a give away Glenn  :Giggle

incidently the fastesdt circuit car in Japan a skyline has a power fc.

But those steriod fed Datsun Cherry\'s are so basic.

Motec kicks the ass out of apexi.

We have one of our own cars running on a plug and play loom and we are in the process of back to back dyno runs apexi against motec looks like its picked up 20hp so far. Car is noticebly smoother than on apexi.

Hi Geff,
Was that power through the mid range  due to the extra resolution or top end?
I should be playing with a AEM soon, it looks like it has alot of features>

So with all the bells and whisles fitted and tuned in how much is the package then Max--anyone. £4000+ or more.? :wave

[maximtaylor]

Most of the way through Jason, and on a fairly quick tune, not fully tidied up yet

Have fun with the AEM!!!! Software looks like it\'ll take time to get used to.

[RE:Worx]

If we get time thurs hoping to run back to back will post dyno sheets if we do  J.

[JayDee]

It would be interesting, if you can get someone brave to hold a timing light on the car and set the ignition the same on both ecu\'s to see if there is any difference in the readings.

[RE:Worx]

the ignition map is exactlly the same in both ecu\'s will have a go with timing light during power run to see if they are the same. motec seems to hold 100% steady when timing check whereas microtech is all over the place haven\'t really tested apexi.

Cool should be interesting, I\'ll have to log on from Cuba tomorrow to find out the result:-)
Do you have to zero in the timing like the haltech?

Been a bit of discussion on MR2 sites about Motec v\'s power FC and conclusion was Motec is the daddy and in the MR2 case only about £700 more expensive (on older AFM cars) so becomming quite a consideration for alot of people.  

A few comments from those running the motec and had previously run power FC was that there are far better mappers out there that only deal with motec.  Almost a graduation thing, start out tuning with unichips, power fc etc then with experience move to motec and cease to work on anything else.  Don\'t know how true this is but a local company that maps WRC mitsu\'s, now only map motec\'s and it isn\'t a company that was previously mentioned. ?
