OVERVIEW
 
APR's ECU Upgrades are the best dollar-per-horsepower modification one can make to improve engine performance. The upgrades dramatically increase horsepower and torque, making for an exceptionally quicker and more exciting vehicle. This is made possible through APR's optimization of the factory engine management system to take full advantage of the engine's capabilities, without needing any end user adjustment. The ECU Upgrades are available with various features and supported octane levels and each stage is compatible with most typical bolt-on modifications. The software is installed to the vehicle's factory ECU through the OBD-II port once the ECU is unlocked, resulting in a clean and headache-free install. Furthermore, for those looking for tuning with a limited powertrain warranty, APR Plus has you covered!

APR ECU UPGRADE STAGES

Each stage includes several adjustments and features to make the driving experience more enjoyable. We’ve not only made the engine more powerful, but we’ve improved acceleration, removed the speed limiter, enabled left-foot braking or brake boosting, properly rescaled the boost gauge, increased the stationary rev limiter, optimized thermal management and protection, designed the software to support normal bolt on modifications while not requiring any for the baseline configuration, and eliminated the need for a TCU upgrade to deliver maximum torque while still accurately reporting torque to the ECU.

The APR Plus ECU Upgrade is the first step towards making more power, and it includes our limited powertrain warranty. This simple upgrade requires no engine hardware modifications, and produces 488 HP with 537 FT-LBS of torque. Gains as high as 75 HP and 89 FT-LBS of torque are available throughout the power band, making the vehicle exceptionally quicker in all scenarios.

 

The APR Plus ECU Upgrade matches the performance of our Stage 1 ECU Upgrade (91 octane). To get even more power, you can add any of our other Stage 1 compatible products and still be covered under the APR Plus warranty! If you're not interested in the APR Plus limited powertrain warranty, and want even more power, check out our other Stages.

The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade is the first step towards making more power! This simple upgrade requires no engine hardware modifications, and produces 488-550 HP with 537-606 FT-LBS of torque depending on fuel grade. Gains as high as 75-129 HP and 89-168 FT-LBS of torque are available throughout the power band, depending on fuel grade and factory output, making the vehicle exceptionally quicker in all scenarios.

 

APR Stage 1 is available for 91 AKI, 93 AKI, 100 AKI, 104 AKI, and E60-E85 fuel grades in North America, and 95 RON, 98 RON, 104 RON, 108 RON, and E60-E85 in the Rest of the World.

 

Please note, our E85 software is not a full flex fuel program. In this mode the engine is only designed to work on E85, as found directly at the pump, including both summer and winter blends from E60-E85. Using traditional pump fuels in this mode may result in engine damage. Do not manually blend with traditional pump fuel or race fuels or use race specific barrels of E85. To ensure proper E85 content levels, APR recommends using an E85 content sensor. 

/

The APR Stage 1+ ECU Upgrade is the next step towards making more power when using E60-E85 fuel! This simple upgrade requires an APR HPFP and produces 561 HP and 608 FT-LBS of torque. Gains as high as 138 HP and 169 FT-LBS of torque are available throughout the power band, making the vehicle exceptionally quicker in all scenarios. Even more power can be had by adding additional bolt-on modifications.

 

APR Stage 1+ only makes more power on E60-E85 fuel over our stage 1 software. All other available octanes make the same power as Stage 1. APR Stage 1+ is available for 91 AKI, 93 AKI, 100 AKI, 104 AKI, and E60-E85 fuel grades in North America, and 95 RON, 98 RON, 104 RON, 108 RON, and E60-E85 in the Rest of the World.
