What Ecu

[BJM 24]

I'm looking for a new ecu wanting to spend round $2000 just thought I'd get some opinions. And if their is a good link I go to for comparison. Currently thinking greddy e manage. It's for my r33 gtst

Is this the 'Question of Today' or something?

[BJM 24]

Looking for people's experiences with ecu's want to know what's good or bad

[Hanaldo]

Yeh I got that.

But - to use the line of the peoples moderators - do you really think that this hasn't been asked before in the 7 years this site has been operating? There is LOADS of information on here, I could read for DAYS about ECU's and their pro's/con's/peoples opinions.

Just search! I mean, you've waited what, 22 minutes to get these replies from myself or others? That's 22 minutes of your life that you will never get back, my good sir. 22 minutes that could have been spent educating yourself on your choices of ECU with the vast pool of information on here.

I have a 2 page thread on ecu's just 6 posts below where this one is (before I hit post). Even if you didn't search did you even look at the page?

sometimes its not a matter of "which ECU" unless you are tuning it yourself.

Ask the tuner as he will know what is best suited for your budget & set up.

read the powerfc faq (in my sig) then go read the documentation for greddy emanage and see what you think of both

you need to search.

But, Greddy emanage are shit....

For $2k, you can buy a Vipec and be as happy as a pig in shit.

f**k, you could even get a Powerfc for around $1300 and it would be better than the greddy.

I have to agree i put an emu on my 33 after I stupidly sold a pfc pro

It was crap. Anything other than a Nissan they have good results

[The Mafia]

you sold a powerfc pro?

You need to be drugged, dressed in pink and jeans with the ass cut out of them, and dropped in a gay bar for an hour or two.

Ye an rb25 pfc pro

I had to fund an engine rebuild

But yes I am kicking myself for it

I looked for about 2 years for one - Even went down the path of making the RB26 ECU run the RB25DET and RB20DET, so I could get a powerfc PRO for a GTR into my car. Turned out that I was scammed, and it was a standard GTR Powerfc inside a case with powerfc pro markings.

haha here is the old thread where I rewired a small harness to make the RB26 ECU work on the RB25, and RB20. Did it for a couple of mates that had RB20s.

Even hard modded a RB26 D-Jetro ECU to run my mates RB20.

Fark... those were the good old days.

I was looking at those threads only yesterday

I swapped the pfc for the pro with a bloke in Perth who had it in a Nissan patrol of all things

Then sold it too a bloke in Sydney.

We had dramas with it talking to FC edit due to the old firmware in the pro

But it served me well

[The Mafia]

all the new updates for FC Edit and the black datalogit box fix this too now.

oh well, fortunately the powerfc pro is pretty shit these days compared to a Vipec and similar ECUs

Yeah nothing but a 2-step and hard cut. Not worth specifically going out to find one when a simple gizmo 2 step or bee-r work just as well

Have you seen many jza70 pfc's in your travels? Sucks that each different 1jz car had different ecu plugs except for some jzx90s had the same as the a70 supra

[The Mafia]

I tried the Gizzmo one, and it was pretty shit.... Was too hard to hook up switches etc and was a bitch to wire up.

Haven't seen any Toyota PowerFCs at all actually. I can have a look next time I am in Japan if you like? might be a few months though.

Keep an eye on ebay - Interesting place to find weird stuff, lol.

[zebra]

Cool I would love one for my car. I want it to look like it stepped straight out of the 90s

They pop up on yahoo every now and again but for huge dollars

At this stage as per my ecu thread it will be a modern ecu
