fai17 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 My m8 Marc29 needs to get a remap for his STI V4. What can he gat and how much and where? Does he need to get a new ECU like Apexi Power FC?? It's a 1998 S reg. Can he get a ECUTEK remap by AndyF??? Much help is required please. Big thanks to replies. Thank you
Johnny50 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Has to be a replacement ECU i'm afraid. Ecutek can only be done on 99 onwards. 98's have a 3 plug ecu.
brent_burnet Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Apexi power FC mapped by Andy F that what i am going for next month think its the only option for V4's for sensible money Motec or Pectal are silly ££££££
Johnny50 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Yep, Apexi would be my choice. I opted for Gems on mine (MY98 not a V4)...but thats silly ££££ aswell.

des_curran Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Peter, my car is a my98 and Andy F quoted me £750 to supply and map the power fc and i think it was another £80 for the comander.
Russs Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Or he could go the unichip route, £565 incl. vat fitted and mapped. Have seen sti's up to 340bhp on these.
dipsy Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 If i was you go and get Andy f who does the apexi ecu and you will be well pleased with the results. I had the ecutek tek3 remap on my my2000 what a difference this is for my99 onwards by Andy f .
andrew_forrest Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Knock control on the pre 98 ECU's is somewhat suspect, whether chipped or not. The Power FC can be set to flash the check engine light to warn of any knock taking place, saves buying a knocklink ! Another thing to consider is the residual value of an Apexi Power FC which is a complete replacement ECU. Typically they still sell for £400+ secondhand. Andy
