ED30 APR Stage 1+ Questions

(1/2) > >>

jonnylaris:
I currently have a stock ED30 with a stage 1 APR map on it.

Can I fit a loba HPFP and an intake without needing to get a new map. I.e. use the components along with my current stage 1 map to effectively go Stage 1+?

Paradox1:
bolt them on

pudding:
Each 'stage' is just boost, fuelling and timing to suit the hardware.   You can fit the Loba and intake now but without a corresponding tune, you won't gain much.  Ditto the downpipe and intercooler if you go that way also.

jonnylaris:
So to get Stage 1+ I need a new tune from APR?

Also I've heard that adding a DP without a stage 2 tune could through an engine light?

Don't get hung up on all this 'Stage' business. The car will run fine on the current map with a Loba pump and intake. Call it whatever stage you want.

Decide your goal. Is it full bolt-ons, so intake, pump, exhaust and intercooler with a map to suit? Or something else?

If you're looking to change the standard downpipe to a 3" one with either a decat or sport cat, then yes, you might get a light on the dash. But this is only because the ECU is expecting lambda values in line with a standard downpipe. It doesn't mean there is actually a fault. Any decent Stage 2 map will stop the light coming on.

Do all the hardware, then the map.
