CA18DET 180sx

[niscort]

Does anyone know where I can get a Apexi Power FC for my CA 18det. Im in Tassie and just wondering if they come pre tuned for the engine? R they hard to install does anyone know. Thanx

These are a special order unit from AP engineering, so I highly doubt somewhere like Autobarn is going to have one sitting on the shelf, let alone try and order one for you. Direct from AP they retain for around 110,000yen. I believe there has been a second hand one floating around on ebay(us) for 1000us.

Also a side thought... appart from them being supplied with a more powerful standard base map, and that they plug straight in... who will you get to tune such a thing in Tasmania?

Yeah, the only way to get a Power FC to suit CA18DET is to find a second hand AP Engineering one, as they were never made in the newer series. Finding one will be a epic in itself!

as i said they have some ... obviously not ca18det ones..

as for tasmania .. get a boat to melbourne and get someone who knows what they are doing to tune it!

they are a tough little engine but the expense of a power fc is not required when the computer is apparently 100% retunable.

We do actually hvae tuners in tassie...Going over to Melbourne is an idea but we can't get 98ron fuel in tassie so the maps might be alittle out...

Dave from Griffith Auto is one of the best in Tassie

Hmmm ive heard that before, not sure, but it would be nice as i have nearly finished rebuilding the old CA, fit the new turbo and nearly ready to start running it all in.

Would be good if i could just re-tune the standard ecu :headspin:

thanks

guy I saw an AP engineering power fc for ca18 for 1k about a month ago..

I looked at it and thought do I really need it? 1k could get me a crazy turbo

standard ecu is retunable, and don't need a daughter board,

$250 exchange and if ur in vic it can be dyno tuned

You can get POwer FC from Nengun for CA18DET. There is a guy in here in the UK who does chips for these engines that replace the standard chip in the ECU. Apparently his own car is running 418bh at the rear wheels with one of his own remapped chips.

the standard computer is retunable but for the best results for minimal money use a microtech. if anyone remembers the old DEXTER 180 that was initially a retuned stock computer but had idol problems. I now has a microtech LTX-8 and runs extremely smooth.
