Why the change of ECU? 

 

Never heard of a Emtron 

how do they compare to the elite 2500?


I would say that the features they advertise actually work. Might even be able to track a Nissan cas unlike the haltech elite.

Emtron is Scott from Insight motorsports own ECU. I would say it pisses on a haltech as you do not need to buy a box everytime you want your ecu to do something. I also believe it has alot more inputs and outputs etc also. 

Basically i believe an emtron is knocking on the door of high end motec kinda stuff feature wise without motec pricing ?

Im sure someone can correct me if im wrong Lol!

I like my passenger floor not to be filled up with "add on boxes". Lol. 

Emtron was developed by Scott at Insight. For what it can do it's very reasonably priced... And no need for extra boxes! The Blackbox wouldn't do a couple things that I wanted it to do. Great piece of gear though. 

Hmm your not wrong about those stupid add on boxes, they also drive the price up the of them you have. 

 

Im in the market for a new ecu for my new build. 

I might look into the Emtron

IMO if you're chasing anything decent power it's time for a trigger setup. Gets rid of a variable.

What at sort of $$ for the Emtron? Are they easy to tune or very specialised bit of kit? That's probably where the Haltech range are attractive, they're quite easy to tune (up to a point anyway). 

Cant wait to see this thing bangin through the gears! ETA on completion?

Emtron KV8 (there is a 12 and 16) was like $3,200 GST inclusive. $880 for a patch look so you don't hack up your OEM loom. 

I would like to think not long but it also needs time for ECU install. That's tuner dependant. We all know how it is. Lol.

8 weeks perhaps? At a guess.

I'd firstly work out exactly what features u need then make a decision on the right ecu for you. I previously had a vipec then moved to blackbox as it had the additional ports I required....nowa days, more tuning shops are playing blackbox which is favourable as well :)

I guess there is no point in spending more if it's not needed...

It's a cowboy industry, YEE HAA! Enjoy the ride as many of us have to date.

Hey Paulie, any idea what it cost to drop the subframe ??

Will your whale be street legal ??

When it's finished , why dont you ship it to Japan where you can drive it as fast as you want to. I'll look after it for ya :22_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Marcus!

if you have time, flick me a call when you're free and I'll give as much info as I can. I don't know specific costs yet but I'll get a bill at the end I'm sure.

By no means is this thing going to be a track pig only car. Drive it to work on Saturdays, go down the coast for lunch. That sort of stuff.

fizzing at the bung to get it going. So close now :)

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
