Having upgrade the brakes and soon the suspension on my uk98 turbo, iam considering an apexifc ecu with remap. Only mods to engine so far are magnex de-cat centre and b/b and green panel filter , so its probably making in the region of 220-225bhp with similar torque at present. What wouuld the figures rise to with the apexi? Anyone whos had this mod done in the past, has it been reliable in the long term?? Cheers. Matt

 

just had my 98 STi V4 Type R apexi'd up by Andy F yesterday, car is runnin very smooth now and pulls very hard and quick thru the gears,very happy with, dunno bout long term obviously but i will let u know my mods are

headers & up-pipe
3" open neck d.pipe
straight thru centre pipe
zero sports back box
lightened flywheel
blitz induction kit
Mapped on Apexi Power fc on 100ron fuel @ 1.3 Bar

going for a rolling road session next week or the week after and i hope she is up over 305bhp, 290ft lb torque

 

Not to hijack the thread but on the commander under the sensor/sw check, what does the PGS sensor relate to? and if it is flashing does that indicate a fault?

 

I got 236 hp/320nm@-1.0bar with PowerFC There is no mapper in here so I'm trying to figure out it myself but I'm sure that even the OEM Ecu will give this result may be even more.

banny sti, I think it is about the Purge Air Solenoid valve which PowerFC dont use it. So nothing to worry about.

 

Cheers mate, you're a star!!

 

Yeah, i think it should be more like 265-270bhp when installed and mapped properly- somebody on here must know!

 

where are you based? what scoob is it?

 

I had mine done on thursday

Car is sti 4.
with full h&s decat
megan headers
wallbro
Apexi induction.

Very very pleased with the results,car pulls much harder in all gears,idle etc is unchanged from standard.Obviously cant comment on long term effects.

Worth every penny
