Betz Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 i think the good options bantered about are Apexi power fc, vipec or motec, motec being cripplingly expensive. for your setup unless its full time motorsport i'd say Apexi power fc D-jetro would be the go. you can turf the afm's and it is possible to program via laptop vipec has anti lag, i'd prolly buy it for that alone but i already have a poer fc. the motec you have a loom to contend with which will mean both splicing into your current cars wiring and some special wiring which ads to the cost and complexity. that said motec would have to be the best Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256914-i-need-a-tunable-ecu-for-my-rb26-whats-the-best/#findComment-4424659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakey pete Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 How much of a difference in both top and mid range power and torque, as well as responsibility would there be between them?

R31Nismoid Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Zero. Any ECU tuned well, will be the same as any other at the end of the day. Talk to your tuner, whatever he is most comfortable with - get that ECU.

Tomei_Powered Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Basic PFC - Simple, Easy to use, Cheap, Comes with commander where u can view your engine status No lauch control, No anti lag and runs AIRFLOW sensoR! Haltech E11V2 - Price now are cheaper and getting more affordable. So i would say this is the best ECU around. Comes with everything, launch control, anti lag and yeah..it runs map! AEM - Should be the same as Haltech E11 but with an extra traction control and its a lil' pricey. MOTEC M600 - Buy it if youre a serious track goer and very nice data logging features.

Tomei_Powered Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would say a standalone ECU are the best basic mod u will ever get.

joeleo87 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 another thing to consider is the support available, for when you run into trouble... and you will.

MOTEC M600 - Buy it if youre a serious track goer and very nice data logging features. the m800 has a faster board than the m600. its only $400 more expensive so id go that way between those 2. a fully optioned m800 is going to cost u ~4-5k before you even install it. if ur serious thats the way to go, otherwise get the haltech e11v2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256914-i-need-a-tunable-ecu-for-my-rb26-whats-the-best/#findComment-4425221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanef Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i'm yet to be shown how and why these vipecs/links are sooooo much better than a motec/haltech, u know i'm not going to jump ship with such little info paul. show me solid evidence, and i mean tech specs as to why, then i may consider recommending and using them. and dont get me started on marks tuning, yes he can tune big hp cars, but i've seen some bloody terrible streeters Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256914-i-need-a-tunable-ecu-for-my-rb26-whats-the-best/#findComment-4425275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 well if you can fully tune em in 30mins, who cares about the specs!
