A little gutted, Production stopped Options

[beno]

Hi

Well i finally save some money to buy a Apexi Power Fc with commander and go to buy one but get told that Apexi have stopped making them!!

I dont know much about ECU's so i find myself in a bit of a dilemah, i dont really trust the shops as they just want a sale and ill believe anything they say,

so if anybody would be able to suggest a ECU that is as good as or maybe slightly better than the Apexi ECU it would be much appreciated??


also is it better to have a ECU that doesnt need a air flow meter?

Thanks

Is thge power fc from horsepower freaks, a 3s is a 3s.

AEM is a brand found here.

You could also go motec but thats like using a nuke to kill a fly. Not needed for our applications.

Good tuners will have access to a dyno, a laptop to tune, and a wideband among other things. Perhaps access to racegas if you want an agressive tune as well. and most of all experience.

the Hydra Nemesis is also an option http://mrcontrols.com/
Its not widley known so unless you know a tuner familar with it dont go that route. I have it, and im satisfied, but if I went back id go Power FC. (hell i wouldnt of used the 3s either haha)

actually....a 3s is not a 3s...the Apexi versions are different and won't work correctly unless paired with the right motor....IE a ST205 Apexi should only be used on a 205 version motor, an ST185 should be used on the ST185...the different gen motors run differently..and the ECU pin outs might not be the same..
but if APEXI is gone, AEM makes a pretty good plug and play and widely used..
but as previously said

you should find a tuner first that you trust and has a good reputation.. figure out what they use the most and are comfortable with and then go with that EMS (engine management system aka an ECU)
