Question Apexi Power FC on a 1997 Type R

As above is this the right way to go in regards to start tuning and are they good value for money or is there another option ?
Where to get one fitted around the hertfordshire area?

I have one on my 97 v4 Type R, fitted and mapped by API. I'd not fit and run an ECU mapped for another car. VFM is down to you really. It would depend on what mods you have now and what you may plan for later. I had mine fitted as I've had my car mildly tuned and to also take advantage of UK fuel.

Not sure of current prices but mine cost about £850.00 plus £250ish to map.

Call API if you want more info & you can pm me if you want anymore info.

PS I'm in London if you want to have a look

Defo recommend Vision Performance, awesome customer service and Jolly Green Monster for the remap at £250.

I have had 4 remaps from Simon and the car has got better each time, got a 5th one booked for next monday on the new spec (view my scooby) and a friends 2.5 classic that should crack 500bhp!

no real need for a fmic unless going for mega power, decat is a wise move but think about your mot. Could go for a sports cat which should keep you legal unless you know a friendly station.

would uprate the fuel pump and also maybe get an adjustable fuel regulator so you can have a bit of headroom when having it mapped.
Also maybe think about upgrading the brakes as they will make the car faster as well (and give confidence with fast driving )

Yes i know a friendly mot station yea good idea for the fuel pump n regulator, as for the FMIC they just look cool and if i do ever think about goin mad with power its good to have it there already i suppose?
And the brakes are a definate upgrade job!!
