Ok, considering i live in the U.S., and we don't get all the JDM sweet cars, there's not very many people that now about the s15. So i've come to you guys to be my link to the worlds where parts and whatnot are fairly available. So, down to the point. A lot of people here use the Apexi Power FC on their SR20s in their 240sx's, but 9 out of 10 times their from s13 or s15 silvias, And what XS Engineering told me is that i should use the apexi on my s15. But i'd rather talk to people and get some opinions. So throw some ideas my way please. Thanks!

i have a guy here in the states, actually the same state to be specific, with an s15 and he's running the tomei reytec and he loves it, but ive read good and bad about it. but i like that you can use your laptop with it cause with the apexi you have to take it to an authorized dealer to tune it with a laptop, otherwise you have to use the handheld commander. so i just dunno what to do lol

you can tune the PFC with a laptop too with a little program called FC Datalogit. :thumbs:

so you can get a good tune with the pfc without having to use a laptop and only using the commander?

maybe try a wolf version v5 from aus as the aus doller is so bad at the moment, i use one in my s15 and they are a dam good computer switched from apexi fc because i needed data logging for track use, http://www.wolf3d.com.au/ you can buy direct from the site and the standard base maps are good compared to most

You can but you need to have someone drive your car while you look at the base maps to make the adjustments.

Its a lot more time consuming than a lap top program and dyno.

Datalogic is the program to get if you want to selftune

Wow, i thought i was the only one who was using the VX-ROM. Excellent Ecu and agreed, No need for additional tuning because it caters for full set of stage one mods.
