Tunning a Apex'i plug in power FC

[locote]

how hard is it to tune a power FC with the hand controler??
Any one know of a place that can tune them with laptop in perth WA

I don't have any contacts for you in WA.

But it's not something that you can just play with (maybe with experience you could). You really need a dyno, & someone who's familar with PowerFCs.

do they come with built in maps??
it be the plug and play power fc that i would get

you can take it to an authorized Apexi dealer, hopefully they can tune it for you. These places in Sydney that do it, but i see you're in WA. Stage1 tune is about $400.

Yes, base maps. But depending on your mods....it will still need tunning. You can install it & drive it to the dyno. But it won't be at it best, until tuned.

when ppl say tune your car.. what kinda things are adjusted? sorry for the nooby question

[Lonewolf]

usually fuel maps and igniton timing, but rpm limits, idle speeds, so many things.
I read you have a gsi somewhere, just be careful that the powerFC supports your motor. I know there are b16a and integra b18c ones,but they may not be compatible.
