As
one would expect, Australia's foremost exponent
of Forced Induction, APS is heavily involved with
the improvement of the Falcon XR6 Turbo.
Anyone thinking that simple bolt-ons will do anything
for the XR6Turbo without seriously compromising
engine durability is making a huge mistake. The
manufacturer has gone to truly extra ordinary
lengths to prevent aftermarket modifications from
altering the power output of this engine.
In order to deliver 300 kW of tyre frying power
from the XR6-T engine, APS has addressed the fuel
system and engine management issues that have
held the engine back from making the power level
XR6-T enthusiasts demand.
To begin with, the standard fuel injectors that
limit engine power to 280 kW are replaced in the
PHASE I High Output System with High Performance
Directional Quad Orifice injectors specifically
designed for the XR6T's multi-valve head in order
to deliver a finely controlled fuel spray pattern
of sufficient volume. The APS injectors are ideal
for 300 - 330 kW applications.
Sophisticated engine management is the heart of
any serious performance system. The APS PHASE
I system includes the Unichip computer to precisely
control not only the fuel delivery through the
massive Directional Quad Orifice APS injectors,
but to also fine tune the ignition timing and
boost management strategies.
The Unichip computer is custom tuned in real time
to deliver the optimum EFI strategy for the exact
requirements of the engine in each XR6-T. In addition,
the Unichip is supplied complete with the APS
plug-in adaptor loom so that installation
becomes a breeze (no cutting and splicing into
the standard ECU wiring loom) - and removal is
easy when the vehicle is sold, thus returning
the engine management to standard condition.
The combination
of efficient fuel injection and precisely configured
engine management optimization with the Unichip
control unit lifts the power output from 240 kW
to an impressive 300 kW.
The Unichip computer works in perfect harmony
with the standard engine management system and
delivers full optimisation of the air fuel ratio,
ignition timing and boost maps to achieve an outstanding
improvement in power - along with an significant
improvement in throttle response and low to mid
RPM torque.
Along with the APS plug-in loom adaptor, the
Unichip is supplied with a generous wiring loom
that visually matches the stock ECU wiring looms.
This allows for the Unichip computer to be installed
out of sight inside the vehicle cabin.
Phase I is a great introductory
level for XR6Turbo enthusiasts. If you'd like
