Swapping Rev1 Afm For Rev 3 Map Sensors

[veilside_mr2]

ive just found out my afm is buggered, so I was just going to replace it with a second hand item from fensport for £70.

But since ive just had a gt28rs turbo fitted, I was thinking about getting an apexi power fc so I can map my car porperly and get everything set-up and running nice.

Thing is im told I need to get the rev 3 map and mat sensors so the apexi power fc will work.

does anybody know how much this will cost and is it just a case of changing these sensors over to be able to use the apexi.

thanks.

i want to know this too :D please tell us :)

[veilside_mr2]

lol, i got all xcited then thought u had an answer for me.

[midmotorsteve]

quite a few rev1 come over from japan with apexi power FCs installed, would be good to find one and copy it seen as they are only sold for rev3+ with map sensor

bit like this one for sale at keighley

ooo yeah, i was wonderin what happened to the afm, seems u just whip it off and just stick the ind kit back on.

thats a good price for the spec, got ne external pics?

here you go

You will need a Gen III MAT sensor & map sensor. stevencordiner (who will be your man to talk to) has had an issue with rev limits etc so needed a GenIII ignitor as well.

That looks well cared for...

NOT!!!

[midmotorsteve]

just because its not polished doesn't mean not cared for, infact a bay that dusty and ****ty looking would be a massive + for me as you know its run fine not needing to be taken apart in ages.

[veilside_mr2]

just been on the phone to peter at thor racing, and he`s doing my conversion and fitting the power fc for about a grand. Expensive yeah but im getting so sick of my car not running right Im past caring.

so is that you buy apexi power FC give it to Thor and they fit it and make it work without the AFM?

So about £1600 depending on how much you can get the FC for?

[veilside_mr2]

no thats them supplying the power fc, supplying the sensors, wiring loom or whatever they have to do and fitting it all and setting it all up, im also getting rev 3 injectors.

funny how u can post from norway!

[midmotorsteve]

thats a very good price, I was going to say a full motec install by fensport could be done for that :D

[veilside_mr2]

really?, i thought motec ecu`s cost a lot more than that...well over 2k including fitting and setting it up (as i thought it took like a week to fully map it)

on fensport web site £895 for the ECU

£195 fitting rev1 & 2 inc base map

£370 Mapping session

+ the demon VAT

[veilside_mr2]

when you put the motec on do you still have the AFM though?, because im told that its best to get rid of it as it can be "restrictive"..whatever that means

[midmotorsteve]

No you loose the AFM, the MOTEC comes with a 3 bar map sensor :D , on the fensport website it have a page of info of different costs involved between a rev3 install compaired to a rev1 / 2, and it says about the AFM removal making the install a slightly more expensive job for rev1 & 2.

[veilside_mr2]

aah yeah ive just read it, it all makes sense now. I dont like the way they put "from" though with the prices lol...i hate it when they do that,..wish I could afford a motec :( , ah well im sure the apexi will be more than enough for what I want.

Apexi are great, esp if you get it all sorted for £1000 :D, only brought up MOTEC as originally thought you were paying more, close to motec territory. :)
