Apexi

cpapashley · 12-13-2006, 06:03 PM

Just a question tom,

Does this apexi potentially do the same as the greddy unit?

Just wondering if I should add this type of thing to my watch list?

Thanks

Not worth it imo...

Works better on FI factory cars...

I use one on my Cougar. It's a great tool for small adjustments. I use it with my wideband sensor to adjust the air/fuel if it gets out of range. It taps into the same wires the Greddy unit does, but the Greddy unit has the possiblity for more options.

i am in blackcoogs position. i used it to tune my 2.5, throttle response, and torque, and high gear, low speed gaining speed ability. it feels so much better now and im pulling over 20% fuel. i wish i could touch timing, which would be crucial, but it has definetely improved my engine. for the 80 i paid for it i love it, for 400, xcal, sct or greddy.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

So the fact that the greddy has the ignition wire harness, is this what makes it superior to the apexi unit?

Also I guess the ability to plug a greddy into a pc makes it much more flexible and good for datalogging as Tom said in another post.

Greddy doesn't make an ignition harnesses for our cars. Tom had to custom make his own harness to control the timing. It didn't sound like an easy job.

Search the old CEG boards for "emanage" if you want to learn more.

Apexi does work the same way as the emanage with regard to the MAF adjustment, but lacks all the other features.

It is a very good tool for dialing in your air fuel ratio after you are already "in the ball park" with your tune.

I would pick one up if the price was right considering you want to gain a bit more horsepower on your engine.

It does have a better display than the emanage...unless you buy the GReddy E01 and hook it up. However the E01 is about $600 !!!
