Apexi Power FC replacement engine management system

Anonymous · January 16, 2005, 13:03

As with the dastek and all other tuning piggybacks/standalones, the Power FC HAS TO BE TUNED TO YOUR SPECIFIC CAR TO FUNCION AT ITS BEST AND PROVIDE MAX RELIABLE GAINS.

The MWR maps are great IMO. They should be used as a starting point when tuning. They are not tuned on your car so you should not assume that they are going to work fine on your car. Guys we are talking about a standalone engine management system here not some crappy fuel controller. One parameter wrong and the engine can be made to feel like a 1000cc 3 cylinder.

I have the MWR maps on my Power FC and I can tell you that on the 2ZZ-GE they work ok but are not perfect because there is knock in the midrange rpm. I can tell you though that the low end and the high end where really close to optimal when I began to tune mine. Remember that Matt has to tune the maps rich and conservative since these engines seem to behave really different one from the other for some reason. The maps cost $25(I got mine for free)so it is no big deal IMO.

I will buy the PFC for every car that I intend to tune. The thing is cheap for what it does. I really like my 208Whp N/A s:P

I agree with everything you say CIN. I do like the map Matt upoloaded, and I don't expect someone from across the globe to program the best map for me!!! I'm sure he did what he could.

As you say, it has to be programmed to the car itself and not a car.
That's what I'm planning to do, but it's expensive!

What mods do you have to gain so much power anyway?!
