i have purchased a apexi power fc with commander for my car. can anyone help i want to take it for a remap but it just won't start, turns over no problem the commander lights up, all my elecs work does anyone know if i need to switch some pins around in the connector plugs if so what ones pleeeeeeaaaase help

 

pretty certain 2 pins will have to be changed,jollygreenmonster fitted mine & he had to change 2 pins around,send him an email i'm sure he will let you know

 

thanks i'll mail him, if anyone else has any ideas ??????????????

 

get pin 17 (fuel pump relais) to pin 7!

and change the crank and camshaft pins together (pin 8 <> pin 10)

look here where the pins are located (but be careful that you get the right pins!!) :




get the pins for "without immobilizer" it should work then!

 

i'm a bit lost pins 1 and 2 are the cam and crank do i swap those on b136 ?
and it says 3 on b137 is the fuel relay but swap to where ?
if i swap 17 and 7 can do that on b136 and b137 ? unless i am not reading it correctly.

 

change from pin 17 to pin 7 on b137

change pin 8 to 10 on plug b136
and change pin 10 to 8 on plug b136

don't let you get confused by *1, *2 and *3 - it's not the pin no!!!!

The right pins are 8 and 10 on b136 for the cam/crankshaft sensor and pin 17 on b137 must move to pin 7 on b137!
I've done it 2 days ago!! And it works without problems!!

 

thanks so much i'll try it tomorrow. top bloke

 

the maf curve is also very different for uk to jdm as the maf housing is a different diameter

It's good to know there's always someone (everyone) who's willing to help :-)

I'm thinking of getting an Apexi Power FC ECU with the Commander hand control for mine, so I wonder if you fellas can help, especially the Jolly Green Monster as he seems to be the ECU remap Guru lol ;-)

I'm a bit of a newbie to the Scoob I've bought, but here's what info I know on it:

1996 Import Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0 Turbo Station Wagon
Engine Type: EJ20
Model: GF8B5BP
Transmission: Automatic
Is still in km/h and restricted

Mods (for now):

Hayward & Scott turbo back full stainless exhaust system
K&N Type cone filter

From what I've read up, the Model is found out by the first 2 letters, so in my case it's G=Impreza, F=Station Wagon, 8=2.0 Litre Motor.

I'm not sure of the BHP figure as standard, maybe someone can throw there 10p's worth in ?? lol

The ECU that is fitted states the following on top:

V5
22611 AB530
A18-000 Rj4 3X22
4 Pin connecter to ECU

I do have an Apexi AVCR (bran new in box unused) and was thinking of fitting that so I could up the boost carefully for a bit more oomf, untill I read a couple of the threads on here.

So the questions are, what would be the best thing to do? Should I fit the AVCR or go for the power FC and commander? Would the power FC need a remap If I decided to go that way?

Thanks for any help you can throw my way,

Cheeers,

Mark.
