I have a 1998 Uk Spec Sccobs with the following engine mods:

Apexi ECU
Apexi Power FC Commander
Apexi POT 3 Boost Solenoid Kit
Apexi Induction Kit sti 5
Manual Boost Control Kit
Iridium Spark Plugs
Walbro Fuel Pump
Walbro Fuel Pressure Regulator
Blitz Nur-Spec R System 4” Tail with Jap Innovations De-Cat Down-Pipe
TD04 Turbo

I am about to buy a TD05 Turbo, and was thinking of replacing the FC Commander for something alitle easier to use, such as maybe the Apexi S-AFC and AVC-R. (not sure if this will do)

Any thoughts on the above?

Or what else would some one recommed that i could swap out the Fc commander for?

Sam

 

ran mine with a tdo5 and an avcr mine made 1.6 bar of boost midrange, but i have a commander with mine as well inside of my car is starting to look more like a plane with all the gauges and accessories

 

Im reading up on two items:

Apexi S-AFC II and the Apexi ACV-R...though i think these are alitle more user friendly but not as functional as the FC Commander?

Is that correct?

Sam

 

Different things tbh mate, the AVCR will obviously control boost but the SAFC will only allow very limited fuelling changes.
The SAFC will make Ignition changes but only by changing the MAF signal for the fuelling..

In other words, your PFC is fully mappable and can make changes in ignition timing but can also alter the fuelling seperately.

An AVCR would compliment the PFC and make the boost control user friendly, also giving bright displays of various functions, teh FC commander does the same but looks lame IMHO and isnt as user friendly..

p.s. please excuse spelling

 

Just a little curious as to why you have both of these ? Surely the MBC makes the 3 port solenoid redundant ?

 

i think he means you can manualy control the boost via the fc commander

 

How about if i keep the PFC...and get the ACV-R to control the boost?

Sam

 

i use the boost control kit on my power fc and have no problems with it at all.

what problem are you having with the boost control to want to change to the AVC-R???
