remap or will i be ok
right starting some basic mods in the next couple off weeks(92wrxRA)

car already has hks panel filter & hks back box

(parts to go on)
std ported&pollished headers and uppipe
z5 ecu

will these mods be in the limit off the z5 ecu (safe)
can realy afford an apexi and map . at most im thinking i will get a 20bhp gain over the stock z5(260bhp)with these mods is this anuff to to need it maped


if it dose need maped am i right in saying i will be ok just puting the downpipe and ecu on

hope that made some sence
cheers jodie

The addition of the Apexi will allow the mapper to squeeze the most from the mods, and will allow you considerable freedom to modify later when you want more.

You are VERY lucky to live close to the best Apexi mapper in the UK
Call Andy at www.andyforrestperformance.com for supply and map by the best. Note his address!

lol @ KIPS! So true.

Back to your project:

Those mods will allow the engine to breath better, so air will pass the MAF faster too = a confused ecu.
You might run into probs such as fuel cut which is a Very Bad Problem which can be fixed by a Dawes unit cheaply (I think) but they are crude and nasty and hararous in the wrong hands.
This is why people fit Apexi units @ £700. Mind you, they come up second hand regularly too.
A re-map from Andy is about £150 I guess.
