Apexi fitted - at last

[johnf]

Well having owned the car for two years and being advised that it would benefit from an Apexi ECU and commander I finally found  enough spare cash to have one.

Been down with Geff at Reworx today, had it fitted and mapped.

Very freindly guy, nice set up, shame he\'s a bit of a way away from me.

Anyway the car drives completely differently, smoother and seems quicker. The only dissapointment when I got home was that I thought I\'d read the book to see what the hand held info and buttons was all about. Anyone got one in English:D

One of the main reasons for having it done was to try and improve on my misserable 13mpg. Took over 3/4 tank to get there and 1/2 to get back, so it looks promising.

The car is .98 Blitz induction and exhaust and was sold to me as being street ported by Hurley.

Produced a very reasonable 253 at the wheels.

Glad you\'re happy then John
Out of interest what bar boost was it running to get that power be interesting to see what ming does on Sat as a comparison. What did Geff say in relation to the power against porting thing?

PS remid me what formula do folks normally use is it 82% at wheels compared with flywheel?

Thanks.............

Ok - next question.

Apart from the commander being a nice little gizmo on the dash with useful data displayed am I supposed to do anything with it?

can i be nosey and ask how much it cost to get the power fc put in and mapped up???

ive got my power fc sitting at home and need to get it fitted and Reworx was recommended to me

[johnf]

I paid £250- + vat for the fitting and mapping.

It\'s also beneficial to have on the machinary as it shows up any potential problems you didn\'t know you had.

WOW...thats cool i was expecting it to be more like £600 to get it fitted and fully mapped

is £250 for a few differnet map settings, as u can save a few on the pfc???

[Spotlamp]

I think you can only store 1 at a time, I wasn\'t aware you could switch to/store a different map, can you?

I paid the same, £250 + VAT for fitting and tuning.  Took about 9 runs I think to dial mine in.

I just use the monitor on mine, set to water temp and air temp.

I was too scared to take much notice..............I think I remember seein .9 somewhere though. It\'s not on the graph.


John

[babz_audio]

can anyone clarify this please, can you store more than 1 map on the power fc and switch using the commander??? :confused:

[memski]

Had a pfc and commander on my last car, and no you can\'t have dual maps with the apexi ecu.

[FD3UK]

No you can\'t have more than one map on the PFC, why would you want more than one?

Those running on seq. twins have a choice of two boost settings on the PFC. As you are running a single I presume you have a boost controller, so you could set two boost settings there.
