Hi,

Does anybody know where i can get this done down south & approx how much does it cost?

Also, is there any major benefits for getting the commander?

Cheers

 

www.thor-racing.co.uk will do it
ive been speekin to the over them last few days they said they dont have a program to map it on there lap top but would get one in for me/ or they could map it off the commander (they also have a trick rollin road look on there webb site )

the main advantages of the commander as far as i know are
u have 4 boost setting u can change once pre set
it will display stuff like knocking level and other perameteters see apexi webb site www.apexi.com

and it just looks dam cool

oh yeh i set the rev limiter nice and low wen it goes in for a service so no-one can rag my car wen im not there lol

 

Good feature & idea, they must love you!!!!

Cheers, i'll give them a tinkle and see what they say.

If anybody else has used them? some feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO PROGRAM AN APEXI POWER FC USING THE DATA COMMANDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAYS! and days! and days!

Trust me, if they want the business then ensure thay use the Datalogit software available to tune the Imreza.

Personally, get Andy Forrest (andyf9000@hotmail.com) to come down and map it for you, he is a top quality bloke who knows his stuff.

I'd condiser doing it myself but I don't have enough experience on the Datalogit software right now (only got it 2 weeks ago!)

How much is that likely to cost???

I live way down south in B'mth, and i'm betting he lives way up north!
Thats always the way.....

 

Check these 2 threads for an idea of which mappers:

Mapper depends on location and how much you are willing to charge...

Personal Experience, Andyf is waaaay up north, though a good mapper and Pavlo closer down south also a good mapper...

Best contact them ask for costs, though its not tooo much, after all if you can afford to get a commander, you surley can afford to have it mapped, again, and again and again...(after every mod)
But no, you do not want to be mapping using the handheld commander, its a very painfull process!

 

Andy f gets about the country.
He tries to block book people for several days and spreads the travel costs amongst you.
Andy did mine and 407 bhp speaks for itself.

I doubt very much i will get the commander, apart from not having a clue what it does or how to use! i have no place to stick it!!! No comments please......

Cheers for the info though Sam, a pretty good read so far.

 

Dont want to hijack but what approximate cost for andy f to do his stuff on a my95 wrx??
and from a std vehicle with usuall big bore exhaust hks filter etc what would be projected power possible to achieve? running on optimax fuel without ob?
320 bhp possible??? or would it require uprated fuel pump/injectors?? ?

 

Look at www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk

I think Andy charges about £200 to travel to you, which isn't bad considering he is in Edinburgh.

Not questioning Andy's work...as i had a map from him also...just poiting out that there are local mappers also..

I mounted my Commander here..:

Definately get Andy F to map it.

I did and I am over the moon with the results.

Cheers

AndyF for PFC's ...
363 for my little wagon on TD05 / TMic

 

You would need more mods than that for 320 IMHO, the PFC and mapping just brings out the benefits of the mods you already have. doesn't add magic ( although seems like it after the event! ) to near std cars.

Andy charges around £180 to map, or £750 to supply, fit and map a Power FC. Commander extra I believe.

If your MY95 WRX is a saloon then I guess you would get about 280 bhp with your mods. Upping the boost for more power would really require fuel pump and regulator, then later better intercooler and larger injectors, for much over 320 bhp/lbft.

 

Does Bob Rawle do Power FCs as well? Think he's based down in Swindon and also has a good reputation for good mapping.

 

Bob Rawle is good / has a good reputation, I don't know if he does PFC's, call him and see!

 

thanks Vulnax999
question was for a m8 that wants me to get him a car but he would like about 320bhp
i was trying to give him a rough price so if we got him a cheap type ra and then set to modifieing it to get the power were he wants it
so idealy if we mount a evo6 front intercooler get some bigger injectors + walbro fuel pump and regulator 320+bhp should be possible after mapping the PFC??

stuff like the decat we can easly fabricate

 

If you pick up a car that is 280 bhp as std - slightly later than a MY95 IIRC - then you would be close using a STi Type RA and basic exhaust and induction as you wish. The 95 model is either 240 or 260 bhp ( forgot which ) and 20 bhp less for the wagon version.

The further mods would of course push the power up further! The amount would be similar but limited by the actual car engines - rev limit, valve sizes, cam profile and lift, porting, headers, turbo type, etc.'s - limitations. Differences between WRXanmd STI most marked, then a little between the STi and Type R and Type Ra.
