Default Best ECU to map on a 2.1 stroker

I guys. I'm looking to map my 2.1 stroker. I'm told Syvecs or Alcatek are the best ECU's to map it on. But I have a Apexi Power FC with Comander.
Am I able to map it on my Apexi? Or should I give it up and get a Syvecs.
P.s. I'm on a very tight budget! Lol

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've known of Apexi fc to be mapped up to 500bhp,but if funds allow the other ecu's I.e motec,syvecs,Alcatek,are more advanced and can offer much more functions.SJ.

Im running a SC36 scooby clinic turbo.
I'm aiming for about 400ish BHP. Which I know I will have to upgrade to a TD05 20G or a SC46!

So the apexi will do 400-450 without issue with the correct maf sensor (need to know the year of car to further advise on whether a replacement maf is needed).

You would benefit from 3d boost control with the apexi doesnt have, so alcatek or syvecs would work well and no hassle with maf sensor. Another option depending on year of car is an esl daughterboard as its mafless if wanted and has 3d boost control.

So Alcatek is good, syvecs is the best, esl is an option depending on year of car, or stick with apexi with the expense of a new maf possibly required and not as good boost control.

So you need a z32 nissan maf.

Or sell the apexi and avcr and go for one of the others.

I thought of that as well.
The AVCR I wanted to keep. I was told there good!

So if I get the Z32 Maf of a Nissan then I can map my 2.1 stroker with the Apexi and gain possibly 400+?

the avcr is good but the ecu controlling the boost is even better.

if you got a good z32 yes will allow upto 450hp

Syvecs is best by far, full stop.

Dont bother with the MAF.
