APR ECU Version 2.0 loaded...!

[RhysQ]

In all seriousness.

If you want to go faster in a straight line and not in a mountain. Is V1 the go?

Obviously for mountains V2 would be better.

i would have to say in a straight line, as said before by myself and Neil, V2 feels faster! it may not necessarily be faster but the stronger torque pull definitely makes it feel it. also, i seem to be getting up to speed quicker than previous.

I know the GIAC tune is slower then the APR V1 because ive tested it with a mate.

But his car felt faster because of the early torque.

I think we need two people to go to the drags one V1 one V2 to find out for certian.

This article is a good read (and funny, ie ricer vs redneck ):

Considering I very rarely get above 5000rpm on public roads I reckon V2 sounds the go for me even without FMIC and downpipe (yet) suppose they can come later.

but then again we have the different driving styles, tyres, fuel etc.

it needs to be the one car.... go to the drags on V1, get V2 installed during the week, and go again the next week with V2. its the only way.

For what? .2 or .4 of a second?

So people can say? "My car is faster by .2 of a second over 400m's. I am the best."

i ran out of time but i was gonna add.... if it is only a small margin, given the discrepancies of different conditions on different days, it can be called even. it would only be a real claim if the diffrence in V1/V2 times was somewhat significant. even .5sec+ on the drag strip is significant.

anyone know any 150m strips we could use, that would be the real test!

No two cars are identical, ..notice how many base dynos with the same tune vary by 5-8kw. So a V2/GIAC comparison would be inaccurate and frankly, spliting hairs

I forgot your not allowed to compare tunes on a forum. lawl.

I'd say thats more the dyno/dyno operator rather than the cars being that different.

And the APR cost is a lot more than the Giac , is the extra 2-3 kw worth the $300 or so ?

3kw for $300 is a fair bit considering you'd pay up to and beyond $2000 for a full exhaust system that may only gain 5-10kw.

what Sam said. if you had that attitude towards every mod, what would happen after about 4-5 major performance mods... you'd be about 10kW behind. why not pay that bit extra for the full performance??
