port setton

 

mate were is that do u know the price

 

Think he was taking the ****

Try looking for Andy F or Apexi Power FC in the scooby shop. Probably your best option. Others are Link ECU from the Likes of BR Developments, or more expensive GEMS ECU. Do a search.

I think Steve was pointing out where Andy.F lives
see his artichoke in the last (only?) issue of scoobymag, theres a big sign on the way into town

 

What is the Motec like compared to these?

 

Expensive! But very good. Depends what mods you have really, and how extensive. Also what you want from the ECU. (remappable yourself / antilag / switchable maps etc)

as anyone used the unichip if so are they any good

 

Not advised from evidence on here...

Really Mark ? I've heard some good reports lately, down to the mapper I suppose.

Andy

 

Im prepared to be convinced otherwise, but they got quite a bad press a while back. As you say, the mapper is the key part to extract the best from the ECU. Ive heard people compalining about TEK3 on occasion, but again, its really the mapper not the product.

I know on N/A cars they are very well thought of, I nearly went for one when I had the Integra R...

were is the best place to get one and the best person to map one please i need to get mine done while i still have the cash cheers marc

 

It would be unfair for me to say as there are many on here who can help. If you do a search you will come across the right names Andy F being one!

ive already said where for your year car get andy to do it and he has already replied on this thread you will not find any better IMHO

 

sorry mate im new to this is it andy f

 

speak to him

 

If you don't want the expense of a PFC, there's always the possibility of a ScoobyECU mapped to your requirements. Trouble is that they're hard to find these days.

 

lads reggarding my first post i have been offered an apexi power fc plus commander unit for 550 is that a good price

 

Depends upon the guarantee and technical support that comes with it and whether there is vat and carriage to add ?

Andy

 

andy my car as a full decat hks headers and up pipe what bhp would the apexi give me about marc

 

Difficult to estimate, I need more info, even then it depends very much which rolling road you go to !

Is your car the early96 with 90 degree TD05 or late96 with direct entry VF turbo ?

Do you have an uprated fuel pump/reg and/or any intake mods ?
