OK, now who's in?

 

What happened to the Group Buy???

Ken

 

That is the group buy

 

I believe

 

Since when is a group buy the same price as the RX-7 Store list price.

Ken

 

Jason said he will not have enough units to do the group buy. $1375 is reasonable though.

 

Well then I'll wait and stick with my Power FC, Commander and Datalogit.

Ken

 

can you use that with an auto?

 

Ahh! Finally, some guinea pigs. Hope all goes well, good luck and post findings on the board!

 

I think everyone is a bit scared to be the guinny pigs, thinking the outcome will be similar to the Apexi Power FC.

Off the bat, there seems to be advantages: 16/32 bit (8 bit on Apexi US version), onboard dataloging (seperate for PFC), Knock control (PFC does not control knock), plug-N-Play (PFC claimed this but had to clip wires).

 

i ordered 2 yesterday

 

is the race version any better than the plug and play. WHats the main differences. Thanks Marc

 

Damn took those guys long enough. What'd they have to do build them from by hand using old computer parts? lol

 

alright start buying everyone, tell me how it works. But for now Im stickin with my PFC =-)

 

lol anyone know if there will be pre programed settings for the basics cause these things look amazing but i dont trust myself enough to tune from scratch

 

wow, it finnaly came out, does anyone remember when it was first suppose to be availble?

 

Maybe this will force apex-i to give their Excel Software to us

 

I'll be a guinea pig =o) after my pocket heals a bit from my recent expenditures.

Race version is basically a wire-it-yourself AEM unit.
It'll include a harness with flying leads.

PnP version is a "plug and play" version that'll use the mazda ECU connectors on the AEM unit so you can re-use your stock wiring harness.

I believe there will be base maps for the stock twin turbo set-up. Guys like myself will need to figure out our own single turbo maps.

I believe some third party slips in schedule (i.e. Mazda ECU connectors) delayed the product. I'm sure Jason can speak to the reasons aside from preparing software, etc.

You can use the AEM with automatics. You'll need to contact AEM to see if base maps will support automatics right now. I've seen the options for automatic transmission and it seems very capable.

The only thing I don't like so far about the unit (I don't have one in the FD... yet) is that you'll need to wire in resistors to support low impedance injectors. Wiring in the series resistors is easy, but I would want better injector drivers for the hardware.

i get mine tomorrow..... hhaha way a head of you all

 

I'll be a guinea pig . Just send one to me. My address is.........aww that's not what you meant? Damnit!

 

i've had my race version for about 8mos......so i win! My PnP version for my other car will be here on Fri. I'm having it tuned on Sept. 20th......so we'll see. I've got a very very good tuner!

 

So, how do you like race version?

 

i haven't even used it.....it's just been sitting around collecting dust. There isn't any difference between the "race" version and the others. You just get the EMS, the plug and wiring. I just never bothered to install it.....along with the PFC that i've had since it 1st came out. I've been too busy with other stuff to get the car running

When it's all said and done the car will be renamed the "money pit".

I just spent another $2k and change for the axles,gears,and KAAZ LSD.......will the madness ever end???? Doubt it!

 

Damn.... must be nice being married to a Vegas Stripper


Just kiddin......

Come to think of it, that WOULD be nice.....:P
