have just bought a second hand apexi pfc and commander.its second hand so i presume its still set for the previous car it was on.would it be safe to plug it straight on to my car?the previous owner said it was plug and play on the advert.im a bit sceptical of this!!i have a 98 v4 type r and would like to try and understand how to map the car.its totally standard apart from a panel filter.any advice would be helpful!!chris

 

Chris mapping is best left to somebody professional, did you ask the previous guy if the ecu is mapped to uk fuel?

 

ive emailed him and had no reply yet.he did metion in the advert that it was set to 1.14 bar boost and a 7000rpm rev limit.presume this may of been for a wrx and not a sti.ive not fitted it yet a bit dubious at the moment!!

 

The Power Fc is Preset with settings for the WRX and other Jap Models. you need to go through the settings and select the ones for your car.

It will not be perfect as no 2 engines are the same. best to have it set properly.

 

ill have a go with it tomorrow.if i have no luck will there be any problem putting my original ecu back in?


chris

 

No they are plug and play. so the std will go right back in.

 

you will have to reset the power fc when you put it in your car, the problem you will have is the base map is set for jap fuel and runs a lot of ignition.

you are better off leaving it to someone with the laptop software as the cammander dosen't have the ability to adjust all Parameters.

 

Chris, are you anywhere near Sheffield? If I/we can get a couple of people together for mapping then Andy F may pop down to do this for us.

I am prepared to travel some distance but not Scotland.

Cheers,

Wayne.

 

sorry mate im in kent.i have found someone down this way to do it but he is unable to do it at the moment.

chris

 

Hi wayne, im based near leeds and would be interested in getting my car mapped from Andy. My brother is also interested in getting his car tek 3'd from Andy at the same time.

 

Banny, good to hear mate!!

Let me know rough dates and I will contact Andy, unless you do.

The only dates that I cant do are the 1st of June to the 13th of June.

I already have a power fc, do you need Andy to supply?

Cheers,

Wayne.

 

The 13th of june sounds fine to me, if you could arrange it with Andy that would be great. i already have the power fc and commander.

cheers Banny

 

Banny, 14th onwards for me. I'm away on the 13th.

 

anytime onwards from the 14th is okay, but if it is a weekend can you let know so i can book the day off work

 

No problem. I have contacted Andy with the details including a link to this thread.

Wayne.

 

 

hi wayne.if i havnt got mine sorted in the next week will i be able to get mine mapped at the same time as yours?does andy have a limit to any he can do in 1 day?

chris

 

Usually 2 mappings per day as you never know when a real awkward one is going to come along ! It's not the type of job you can rush or leave part done.
I'll go check my email and get back to Wayne with specifics.

Andy

 

Banny, Chris,

Andy has suggested a couple of dates for us. Either the 21/22 June or the 25/26 June.

I could do with it being the 25/26 due to work, but at a push I may be able to make the other dates.

Please PM me your email address and I will send you the details of what Andy has priced up.

Cheers,

Wayne.

 

No response? Are we up for these dates?
