Mr Singh Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Went to Thor Racing yesterday to have my Power FC installed and mapped. Very suprising results, she did 262hp at the rear wheels, around 310HP. Thats using Stock internals and even more suprising stock fueling! Does lean out @ 7000rpm. Larger injectors i have weren't installed at the time, due to previous technical complications, but never the less, i'm very happy with the result. The first Altezza over 300HP in the UK with stock intenals? BTW, Thor have Janspeeds wide body 50billion point roll cage Altezza race car.. and some half dozen 3S-GE motors, complete with there own developed pistons. rods. crank. for high or low comp design.. There going to do some very very cool stuff for the Altezza engine.... probably the UKs first 500rwhp+ engine i think is on the horizons. There very very clued up people, can't recommend them enough, superb customer service top guys Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Be gentle with me since i confess to being a complete engine numpty but what's an "FC?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Singh Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Be gentle with me since i confess to being a complete engine numpty but what's an "FC?" Apexi Power FC. Its a complete standalone ECU replacement. Fantastic piece of kit, one of the must have mods for Altezza owners IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do struggle with this though... Is it the case the designers under-power the cars ECU then someone like Apexi offer a unlimited ECU?

No Tony, the car is supercharged, the stock ECU is not "mapped" for boost, sure the TDi will be along soon to explain it all. p.s. Nice one Am must make it all worth the work mate.

Is it the case the designers under-power the cars ECU then someone like Apexi offer a unlimited ECU? To put it into the simplest terms engine management calibration is either correct or incorrect. An ECU containing a general factory calibration meant for a naturally aspirated engine will be totally Incorrect for any engine with is running with elevated intake manifold pressure (boost) The ability to control the calibration accurately is absolutely vital! infact it's so important that many racers and performance enthusiast's spend big money on increasingly complicated systems.
