apexi piggi back worth it?

[traser19]

i just put a down payment on the new apexi piggi back unit because i got my ecu reflashed (opps!) so that should help me to increase boost w.0 blowing my engine right ?

 

[traser19]

btw its the apexi afc neo,,, and does 650 sound a little over priced?

 

[lasermp5]

I'm not really sure, but I don't think msp's have had much success w/the apexi afc...

 

[traser19]

ohh, so a better more expensive bet would be the unichip then right?

Or you could search the forums for AFC....you'll find used ones for ~250-300.

Or go standalone. I put in a Microtech a few months back and love it. . .much better than the stock ecu (I have a MSP kit on my MP3). Runs great and LOTS of power (but I have plenty of other mods).

for what you pay for fuel only control? nope.

 

[AFaceInTheCrowd]

waste. it's been tried and the voltage reading from the mass air makes an unhappy s-afc.

 

[ChopstickHero]

yeah, microtech or unichip or something like an MPI tuner will work for ya. s-afc are not compatible with the Protege.

 

[traser19]

what!!?! the guy said it would wrk wiht protege np the last form of it did cuz all they did to this model is make a cool colour screen and some v tec options just so it wrks with honda aswell,,, but those might have came with the previous model... well i guess ill find out wen the place im gonna get it tuned opens on monday

Give Nick a call and talk to him about the MPI tuner. Most people use it.

 

[traser19]

How does the Microtech affect Emission's compliance? From what I've heard, most standalone's are not OBD2 compliant and therefore will not pass emission's in most places that require inspection?

heheh i dont have emission regulations where i live
