Question Uk MY96 VS APEXI FC ECU

Hay guys just got one of these ecu units and a TD05 for my uk but wanted to know do i really need to get 440cc injectours for 330bhp or can i use the one's already in the car?

Trying to keep cost down as its already at the £1000 mark!!!

2nd hand set of 440cc or 550cc (about £300) as you can run bigger injectors at lower duty.

you could always get a pressure regulator and run a higher pressure, however you would be better upgrading the injectors. If you check out Jollygreenmonsters website, I am sure he sells some higher spec injectors for a reasonable price. He also maps the apexi as well

I was told by the guys in the know that I would have to uprate injectors to break the 320 mark, was told to uprate the pump to a walbro even if I don't change injectors.

Trouble is second hand injectors are always a gamble and new ones aren't cheap.

I would recommend a Walbro on all classics and a TD05 will max 440's even with raised fuel pressure.

Yes 550s would be ideal.. 440s run to about 320 depending on whose rollers.. upping the fuel pressure will allow a little more. . but price of 440s + regulator (a decent one) you may as well just do 550s.

As said it is worth fitted a walbro fuel pump.. just for piece of mind and because they don't cost the earth.

I'm at 325 bhp and my 550s are at 73% duty IIRC. I could be wrong, but would assume this converts to 440s in the 90's% region. Not much to play with.

£1k really isnt very much in the world of Subaru tuning

You will need 440cc + uprated Pressure for 330BHP (at least).
And also consider a larger TMIC or a FMIC as the standard ones get a bit inefficient above 300BHP.

If your car is a pre facelift then you already have a TD05 on it and defo need an intercooler to replace the slanty one..
