Well what can i say...........had the octy vRS 2 and half months and been very impressed with it after trading in my Integra type R.Good compromise in comfort and style.Performance wasn`t quite as nuts as the teg.....but i knew it wouldnt be when i got it.

In some instances it feels quicker than the Teg,for instance 70 to 90 in 5th, in fact frankly most in gear times feel a bit quicker,but all out 0-60 and possibly 0-100 is just a bit behind.BUT thats not what this post is all about ;)no.........This is about the APR stage 2 chip.

What can i say.........not had it fitted yet....but ive had the 6 hours demo program uploaded(225ish bhp) from awesome gti.

AND ITS AS DAFT AS A BOX OF ******S!!!!! :crazy: :crazy: :drive:

Cant believe how much its changed the car in all gears at all times.....5th gear 70 to 90 just pulls so creamy smooth now ,that i keep thinking im in 4th or even 3 rd at times! .Power is as near to instantanous as you could hope for in a turbo car and theres more of a shove at lower revs which becomes more insistant as the revs rise and around 4500 there seems to be another little shove in the back .Very Very Very impressed and needless to say......ill be booking it in soon as poss .

Oooooooh thats a sneaky little way of getting you to chip your car that 6 hour demo .......like giving a junky his first fix for free....THEY KNOW YOULL BE BACK :goodvibes :guapo: :bowdown1:

Say hi to Jim ; )

APR II does work very well, but quite reliant on the old optimax, as any map thats optimsed for running optimax could be. From past experince I would suggest if you can run to it/twist Jim's arm into getting the 95 pgm and Optimax. Main reason is if your out and about optimax can be a bit rare, so you can happily fill up on 95 for a long motorway drive then 98 on thursday ready for the weekend

Thats IMHO of course. Ran a 4x4 estate with 95/98,TBA, VM and FCE, was great, but never used the last 3 features. But frequently swapped betweem 95 and 98, mainly as I say using 95 for commuting.

/EDIT: Of course the 180 stock is close enough to the 95 (180-207-227) so might not actually be worth it...4x4 was 150-207-227.

I know what your saying colin but im used to running optimax from when i owned the integra type R(had that 2 and half years).I ran that from the moment i got the teg and was only caught short just once......but was able to just stick a fiver of super in which was enough to get me near home,where i have 4 optimax garages in a 7 mile radius .

Anywho im not just having the 98 ron map installed,im also gonna retain the original map so that i have 2 modes just incase.My dealer is happy for the chipping to happen as long as there is a default original mode installed(theyve given me the nudge nudge wink wink that they will have selective amnesia as long as it can run stock ).

P.s Tavia rs..........after a few months i can see some more ice forming on that slope you mentioned earlier :driverall :revs: :blinker:

If your names not down, you're not coming in!! By order of..

D' management!!

i've had the APR on both my RS's and i love it. *think* my red RS was the first APR'ed in the country.

have been running on 95 for the past couple of tanks and i'm *really* noticing a big, big difference in pickup esp. around 80 in 5th. can't wait to get this 95 crap out of the car.

on a related note, tried a couple of tanks of bp ultimate on the 95 mode and was very impressed. i would say very little difference on the butt dyno between that and optimax on 98mode.

V-Tune on its way also.

Then its CAI, exhaust, fmic, new turbo etc............

Enjoy
