Hello I'm a new member wanting to purchase an apexi pfc among other things. Does anyone know the differences between the jetro and race versions? I saw both these on a website but they wrote the same things about them - pretty general. Also I saw someone writing about the A.P engineering versions of them?

I also am interested in getting electronic boost control and am interested in the Apexi one - you can plug it into the computer. Has anyone used on of these?

Thanks - just don't want to buy the wrong thing

With the Jetro version you don't have to run an air flow meter (AFM) and their are certain features that are used to make sure your car is safe on the racing versions, eg boost cut, rev limmiter. - they use different types of cuts eg: ignition instead of fuel and so on. If you get what i mean.

We have 4 cars with "standard" Power FC's with boost control kits, 2 X GTR race cars 1 X GTST race car and 1 X R34 GTT road car. They work perfectly, the cars drive "nice" like the standard ECU. There are plenty of threads on this subject, do a search and you will find all the info you need.

Thanks for the replies!

I hadlook on the searches - I'm new to this and they were great.

Sorry - just a couple more q's.

Is it an option on the jetro version to run AFM's as well or do you have to get rid of it straight away? If you can still run AFM's to start with it sounds like the one to get.

Do you recommend using the electronic boost controller with the standard turbo?

I believe it should increase torque as you have quote me if I'm wrong total control of the wastegate?

Thanks again!

I honestly don't know, I have never used a DJetro version. All the cars with them I have seen, use map sensors, not AFM's.

I have used the PFC Boost control kit with all sorts of turbos, singles and twins. It enables you to hold the wastegate shut until you reach the target boost, like other electronic boost controllers and the twin valve manual controllers. So it enables more boost, that means more torque and it will enable the boost to come on as early as the turbo will allow. Does that answer your question?

:D

Yeah thanks! I'm going on nengun to order one now. Doubt if I'll ever go over 300RWKW anyway so I'll just get the 'normal' apexi. But then again it's so easy to get use to power! I'm in the UK at the moment studying yacht engineering and won't be home until x-mas, but just purchasing parts for my car in the meantime. Will dyno the car the month I'm home - can't wait! Obviously I'm quite a distance away from any tuners for advise! I didn't realise there was different types of Apexis until I seriously started looking for one. Anyway, thanks again for the help and advise!

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
