chooch Member 256 Member For: 21y 2m 18d Location: Adelaide Posted 17/05/05 11:14 PM Share Posted 17/05/05 11:14 PM Hello boys,Can you guys help out a newbie, I'm considering the APS phase 1 kit. I know that it's about a 60kw increase at the flywheel and that with the Phase 1 kit this includes bigger injectors, but......How much real difference is this from standard?Anyone had any problems?and how does this effect the warranty or insurance?

If the part appeared to be faulty from factory then you may be fine.Power - a very noticeable increase, both on the dyno and seat-of-the-pants. It feels like it's from factory its that smooth.

Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 18/05/05 12:02 AM Share Posted 18/05/05 12:02 AM I'll be the first to say it, why bother with Phase 1????Get an Edit and your away. Most guys have 235-250rwkw with Edit only! Quite superior really and then get a set of decent larger injectors (along with valve spring upgrade), get re-edited and your away.Good luck anyway Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17679-difference-in-power-from-standard-to-aps-1/#findComment-253908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooch Member 256 Member For: 21y 2m 18d Location: Adelaide Posted 18/05/05 12:51 AM Author Share Posted 18/05/05 12:51 AM So has anyone ever had any trouble with warranty stuff after having any of these mods done?

Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 18/05/05 01:21 AM Share Posted 18/05/05 01:21 AM Too early to know with Edit. You can switch maps back to stock so unless they check the date that it was re-flashed and check that against their records, then apparently should not be an issue. Some dealers are even offering Edit.That said, most frown on it and Ford's stance is they do not like it at all.

Most guys have 235-250rwkw with Edit only! Quite superior really and then get a set of decent larger injectors (along with valve spring upgrade), get re-edited and your away.Good luck anyway I got a phase 1 and a week later got phase 2.After phase 1 I had approx 230 - 240rwkw (cant remember now) from std of 190rwkw. After phase 2 my car is at 272rwkw.Phase 1 is something you WILL notice out on the road.I have never been back to Ford for servicing..err, I've never been anywhere for a service as the car only has 11000km on it (service due at 15000).As far as insurance.. After changing insurance providers because of mod's, I saved $400 per year on my premium....IE: I saved $400 a year because my previous insurance didnt allow mods and I then had to look around for the best quote.Which ever way you go...another 40rwkw is well worthwhile.
