Does the apexi power fc work well with the evo ix. Cuz the new evo has the new cam system (MIVEC). If not can i use another ems ?

 

The APEXi Power FC does not support the USDM MIVEC based Evolution engine. Since you are in another country this may not apply. I called APEXi USA 2 days ago and they said the ETA on a PowerFC was 3 months.

If you have access to other management systems, I know that HKS FConVPro, GEMS, MoTeC are available for the IX on non-USDM cars.

 

thanx Tsurara acually my evo is USDM i got it from the states.

 

my evo is JDM .. safc2 support my IX?

 

I am sure it can. Call APEX Integration Japan and ask for a harness diagram. They may not have tested it for the proper pinout, yet, though. I would also be interested in seeing if their VAFC can control the MIVEC.

 

If you are looking for engine management for your IX, you should highly consider Motec's new plug in ECU. If I had a IX, this would be the ECU.

The Motec setup is among the best in the world but kind of pricey. SAFC does work but of course is just a very basic fuel ECU.

 

the hydra unit is "available" for the IX

Any info on this? My friend with an STi says its a decent system.

 

Hello Guru,
I know the normal Motec engine management kits are pricey, but I haven't heard any pricing on this new plug-in ECU for the Evo. I doubt it will be as expensive as their normal (M400) type kits. Have you got any pricing on the new stuff?

 

I heard it does not work well... yes it will function but the ECU will pull timing with any changes.

 

Yep. The basic M400 system is $3300 so I assume the EVO setup is pretty close to $4000. The Hydra is an awesome system as well but not quite available yet. I use thek on all my high HP STi's. The new drive by wire boards are coming in next month so I expect it to be released in the Spring for the EVO IX. The Mivec is a pretty basic thing to control so that really is not the problem. The problem is the drive by wire. That is pretty tricky and can not have room for error.

 

I always thought that the Evo wasn't drive by wire? Did something change?

 

so does the current power fc system work on the 9 ?

 

No, Apexi says ETA is 3 months.
