Mods to compliment an Apexi FC Commander?

[Brents*EK9]

Hi All,

I'm just planning some mods for my soon to be EK9.

I know quite alot about makes and models etc of cars but when it comes to under the bonnet - im just not that technically minded!

What other realistic mods for an everyday ek9 would see the best gains from the Apexi FC Commander??

No need to say more about the rule (intake-header-exhaust). Definitely, you should get some aftermarket camshafts, throttle body and also open your engine and work on it. Port and polishing is important to raise your compression ratio along with a thinner gasket. Also do not ignore mods just because they do not increase power like upgrading your valvesprings and valve covers because you are playing with your engine's safety. A standalone aftermarket ECU can't do much, especially on a 1.6 L N/A engine

cheers manos - maybe i should have said im on a budget lol.

so basically the 3 main ones to have with it are intake, header and exhaust?

These 3 are called external mods and there is no meaning to start "internally" building your motor without these first...

perfect, cheers buddy

Anyone else got any opinions on this?

My point of view is different,

What mods to the apexi power fc to match your mods, remember that this is a full programmable ecu and you need to tune it, but with a better intake, exhaust, and header you should get great results

I didn't say that I - H - E will not give great results, in contrast I said that these are a MUST before anything else.......I agree that with a properly tuned Power FC, you should be able to see very good gains with these 3 mods but I took it a bit further with cams, P & P..........

intake, exhuast, header, fuel pump, FPR, 310cc injectors for NA, 550+ if turbo we tune a lot of cars and the first thing that limits us is stock injectors or stock fuel pump. we dont even tune cars with stock fuel pumps anymore.
