Just bought me a new Scooby on a 1998... :-)

Fitted with a Apexi ECU mapped to 1.25, Pot 3 Boost, and a Apexi FC hand commander...

Seems that when i try to accelerate, the boost gets to +0.8, then kicks back to +0.6 and up and down.

Seems there is a limit set to the amount of boost..and seems its not tunned correclty..

Does anyone know who can tune the FC Commander? What kind of costs should i be looking at?

Sam

 

Andy F in Edinburgh seems to get the vote around here. He charges £180 for the first mapping session, and after that, £50 or so each for adjustment. i'm having mine done hopefully in the next month, provided all my parts turn up in time.

 

Is he mobile...? I am in London?

Anyone know where i can get a manual?

Sam

 

www.apexi.com has manuals (US website)

 

Does no body know?

Sam

 

Sam

You have pm

 

Tut tut Cheryl, you know the rules about advertising yet you blatantly ignore them!

Sam, unfortunately there are a lot of people claiming to be able to map the power fc but do not have a lot of experience with subaru.

if i were you i would contact bob at BRDevelopments, he is i would consider the best mapper for scoobies in the south and very close to you.

getting the wrong map could cost you an engine.

 

For some reason scoobynet is not mailing me on responses to this thread!!!

Got the Pms thanks...

I will also try Bob...

Will let you know how i get on..

Sam

 

if i were you mate id just suffer the drive to scotland and get andyf to map it, itll be worth the fuel and time to get up there

 

Is there anywhere i can get a manual for this...? Apexi's website has one but does not seem to be the correct one....

Actually people...have found a Operations manual after Looooooong last...Maybe of use to someone...

Any comments on read or use would be a great help.... ;-)

Jonny Gav ! you still going on @ me !!

I am not advertising on here ! i can post on here all i like, like other people do.

This people claiming to be able to map but can't....you applying that to my company? you do make me laugh We also have a Subaru which is 298 @ wheels !! that was after doing slight mapping. totally standard car. This car done 13.9 at santa pod. More to come

 

Just tried BRDevelopment...they do not deal with Apexi's...(BOB was not avalible spoke to someone else, was extremly rude on the phone, and not helpfull at all!

Had a chat with Scott @ Abbeymotorsport, the said they put the car on a dyno...and tune...any thoughts on them? Someones said that they will under tune? can this be the case?

Still searching for a good tuner...i mean afordable.... ;-)

Sam

 

You've just spoke to Branko @ BRD. Nice chap isn't he . Get Bobs e-mail and speak to the organ grinder and not the monkey... may have more joy.

Tony.

 

Ooook.....got the original invoice, and the guy bought it from
RC Developments....??

Called them they tune by taking the car on a track!! where as abbey motors do it on a rolling road...which one better....hmm...

They charge £60 per hour and will take 6 hours to map!!!

 

if you still havent got the brains to go to andyf you deserve to pay £60 an hour

 

pat@22b.com should also be able to do it for you and he is in essex.

David

 

;-)

Just had a chat with AndyC, can map, but is looking for another car to do at the same time, as then he will come down...


So if there is another Scooby with an FC that needs to be looked at...give AndyC a shout...otherwise hes hoping towards the end of July...

Gives me enough time to sell mY monguese exhaust(think thats how you spell it) and get me a Blitz Nur-Spec..... ;-)


Sam

 

AndyC Are you sure SamUSA

 

Lol! He's actually a decent enough chap, and also quite helpful. He's been patient with me when I've needed to pick his brains and weigh up various options. BUT he is straight to the point. If he doesn't deal with a product you're seeking info on then I'm sure he want hide the fact that he'd like to get rid of you so he can spend time with people more interested in the products and services BRD specialise in.

 

SamUK, I sent you a PM yesterday. Did you get it? E mail me keigokato@hotmail.com

Thanks
Keigo

 

Strange that Bob is the most helpfull chap around but the other guy is a real pain in the backside!!

 

Slowbow....nope...i spoke to BRDevelopment, he refused to even put me throught to Bob, and goes i am the closes associate to Bob, and he would not be of any help...so i just hung up the phone on him..! ;-) (customer service is extremly important...)

Keigo: have not again got my bloddy emails from scoobynet of updates to this thread, but just found it by chance...have emailed you...

Sam

 

samuk
was it branko? find it a bit strange if it was?! ok, branko is a funny guy, which you have to take with a pinch of salt, but i can't understand him being rude?

just askin is all

 

Andy...(some advise needed)

When i drive my car...it easily gets to 1.2 bars in 2nd and 3rd gear, knocking near 7...but when i may be on a motorway in 5th the boost jumps from 1.25 down to 1.01 and up and back down again. has the jumping got anything to do with Fuel Cut off? after hard motor way driving noticed that the knock was reaching 15....is this not good?

All i did my self was increased the Boost duty from 60 to 64 and it made the diffence of the boost avaliable from 1Bar to 1.25 bar in lower gears, noticed the speed increase alot..but as mentioned, i get a problem when driving up the gears for the extra boost needed...

Sam

 

My Car's still not mapped as of yet...

Andy's still awaiting on his ECU's...so if there is anyone who needs there car mapped and requires Andy's help...can you please let him know so that i can get my car done at the same time...(as he requires two cars

Though i am seriously considering selling the Scooby and getting an S3...

Driving to Scotland is not affordable...as its 450 miles there 450miles back...+ more petrol for the tuning....

HELP>......................!
