Apexi power FC question

JB21 · February 13, 2023, 13:25

Quick one.

I'm presuming the Apexi power FC serial number ZT231 020 *** will run any 2ZZ engine with cable throttle?

I ask as my 2zz conversion uses 2 ECU's. OE MR2 ECU to control body and dash functions such as revs, some dash lights, coolant fan etc, and a Corolla 2ZZ ECU just controlling engine parameters.

Presume I can just plug and play the Apexi FC in place of the Corolla ECU?

That's my understanding of it.

Would you be looking to buy one?

Mine may be up for sale very soon and well if.... I found somebody wanting to buy it may force my decision to go ecumaster. It works with a cable throttle.

Can be confirmed working by Andy @JSpec too.

How much mate?

Never really thought about it. It has an FC controller too, but the screen has a few lines of pixels out - still usable, but not perfect. It's reset to default map as well.

What sort of price do these sell for? I'd need to look, but just about to take off from Riga to Edinburgh.

I just want to upgrade to the ecumaster black

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just use a Celica 190 ECU instead of two ECUs?

Dunno, its how Rogue set it up with the build.

Give me a shout if you need any of the software for datalogit etc

That's bloody odd.

You can just re-pin about 8 wires (probably less in your case) get a 190/T-Sport ECU and ditch both the ones you have now to save a bit of weight?

CBA to save a few hundred grams, got bigger things to worry about ATM i.e pulling the gearbox. Plus my JDM ECU wouldn't work.
