  1. Im looking to get my car mapped using a apexi power fc ecu and want to know if there is anyone in london or near london that can map my car.

    Im not after a aggressive map, just a basemap to run until i up my boost and go for another map.

    Thanks

  2. My glanza runs very hot On my temp gauge when im stationary after a 15mins my temp reads from 80 to 95-100 degrees

    If im cruising the engine temp stays on 78.

    Ive had to fit another fan infront of the rad connected to a switch inside of my car that i switch when its running hot.

    The engine does not lose coolant and the fan kicks in on time but its still very hot.

    Ive changed the thermostat.

    What can be causing the engine to run at such high temp.

    Thanks

  3. Hello,

    Im thinking of buying this ecu but before anything i wanted to know how well this ecu will work on my car and who in the uk near london can map it?

    Is there any additional parts that need adding to the ecu for it to work on a starlet?

    The features seem similar to the megasquirt ecu.

    I have a forged 4e td05 glanza.

    Ebay item no: 121586943621

    Thanks

    this is how it stands.

    6months of ownership the engine let me down, in boost it used to burn oil and alot off excess oil was in the intercooler. i then suspected that it might have a problem with either the turbo or stem seals.

    after a engine teardown i found that it had 4 cracked piston ringlands,

    i didnt want to give up on it so i removed the engine for a overhaul and i ordered myself some forged pistons and rods.

    the process of the engine rebuild which was done by me as im a mechanic but i didnt build the bottom end because i dont want something to go wrong thats a job for a specialist.

    engine is now in and is running sweet but its only a ct9!

    so now its time to contact Sacha and order a topmount td04 kit until i run my engine in.

    the kit arrived after a month and its time to td04 it now.

    after a few months i decided to upgrade my turbo to a td05 with 20g housing and up the boost to 0.65bar, only because i have a stock ecu and its fueling stock.

    the project is still not finished my aim is to push it to around 300 - 350bhp.

    currently working on a new cylinder head to port and polish and fit high lift cams.

    i hope everyone likes my build.
