hey i have an s13 with a rb20det and i am now looking for an ecu upgrade or piggyback system. I have looked around but i dont know what ecu can do what. i have a front mount, rb25 turbo, gtr fuel pump, full exhaust dump, splitfire coilpacks, ebc and just bought some gtr injectors but i understand you cant run them because of the different impedences. i dont feel like hacking up the loom, have heard you can get aftermarket ecu that with run them with out putting resisters in. have been lookin at the e management ultimate but it is a piggy back system, donno if its good or what? there are other brands like wolf, haltec or pfc but there is none around and they're dear. what you guys think? the car is used for drift, track and my daily cheers

despite the ridiculous amount of crap it cops i went with microtech because it was well priced and i have access to an awesome tuner that i have 100% faith in and it didnt let me down. ive seen a couple of off tap rb20's that running microtech and they couldnt be happier with it

Have you considered a remap? You dont want to hack the loom for a set of resisters for teh gtr injrctors, but will fit a piggyback or microtech, i dont understand.

hey i am a newbie to ecu didnt know there was that much work to fit one cheers for the info, yeah considered a remap but i want something i can change and tune. Will be upgrading throughout the build

microtech lt-12 comes with a plug&play loom so u dont need to hack anything and for $200 vs. the cost of someone to wire it in (ive been quoted well over $500).

for lt-12, plug&play loom (they put it all in for me, not that it would have been much work) and a full tune it cost me $1800-1900 i cant remember the exact figure.

i'm pritty sure you will still need the resistor pack with the emanage. its just a piggy back. in the end it all comes down to how much your willing to spend, EMU is a good cheap option for the rb20. and it also comes down to who can tune it for you.

will have to look into EMU but yeah it is a drifter so dont wanna go overboard just something i could get good power and save money instead of getting remaps everytime i change something
