Re: Apexi AFC controller for x-trail
As discussed in the "Piggy Back" ECU thread, yes this device could solve the "Rich" fuel/air ratios of the stock ECU, however as also discussed it does not give a significant amount of improvement to fuel economy. It is confirmed that it does increase power.
In my opinion for the cost of this item including install is not worth the bother with our exy. At the end of the day the X-Trail is a light 4x4 and not a race car.

Re: Apexi AFC controller for x-trail
It is somewhat strange that they actually listed the cars this unit is compatible with, as the genuine A'Pexi product is universal and will fit any car!
Just be careful if you decide to go for it.
This mod will not save fuel at all, so to me personally it's not worth the money and I'm not after more power than I already have.
The A'Pexi is useless for cars that are running on stock parts and engines. It is intended to be used to release more power of the performance mods.

Re: Apexi AFC controller for x-trail
There are a couple of performance shops in Sydney who can fit the Apexi, but for a hefty $700 charge. This includes dyno tuning too.
This is because the apexi is not a stand alone unit and needs to be wired to the ECU (hard wired)
Can't say anything about the unichip and haven't heard any xtrailer using it (unlike the apexi)

Re: Apexi AFC controller for x-trail
That's correct Andrew, but you need a wideband O2 sensor to be able to do that with a laptop.
Dyno tuning is more accurate I believe.
