jesus christ Borci, let it go man, why are you sticking so hard to your guns?

nistune is fine, personally if i was spending money to push to 400 i would like some safety features, i would go maffless as resolution may become an issue. there is a good argument to go haltec and a decent argument to stay nistune. there is still a good argument to go and spend allot more and get a motec or something.

BUT your banging on like he should rip out a nistune and spend money on a used pfc like a bad used car salesman, where was your valid point in this thread before you filled it with shit and arguments?

wtf are you talking about? I explained myself that everybody else was harping on about every other ECU under the sun like he somehow needed something OTHER than a Nistune, which he doesnt. So I threw the PFC in as another option if he HAD to change, and then everyone jumps on it exclaiming its the biggest piece of shit.

Also I don't know if we can use "Hectic software" as a selling point :P 90% of people who buy a Haltech, don't tune it themselves so theres no value in it for them.

But yes to set the story straight I went Nistune first because it was free, then I put a PowerFC on my car on loan, for free. So I have no bias when it comes to BUYING ECUs. The reason why I didn't buy a Haltech was cost, I don't have a NEED for its features, and neither do a large proportion of skyline owners. Might be a great ECU, but I'll be damned if I need anything more than what the latest Nistune offers with Flex and Launch Control (which I never even used).

Don't forget, PFC Pro had launch control many years ago :no:

I bought my power fc for $400 with controller vs haltech $2100 new without additional additional sensors.

Flex is the ONLY reason i went haltech

what additional sensors?

I hear of everybody saying you have to buy extra sensors for haltech.

Apart from flex sensor and larger map sensor (due to the boost I want to run), I didn't need any other sensors other than factory.

My first set up was just plug ecu in, and run vac line to on board map sensor.

The latest vipecs are a great bit of kit. Easy to tune, loads enough functions for your requirements and great support. But, to be honest, you can have an m800 full tilt set up and it can run like a corolla from the 70s if you dont have the right people behind the keyboard.

I suggest you start looking for a great tuning yoda and then, with his guidance, go from there

You don't HAVE to buy additional sensors but those who run a Haltech run a HALTECH for FLEX reasons.

flex tunes want boost and ethanol, so you'll need the content sensor and the 3 bar map sensor which is exactly what you just mentioned.

Add them to the price as well.

temperature and pressure sensors & O2 wideband kit is also more again if you want to use haltechs wonderful features you'll need all of the senses to read them obviously just stating it doesn't stop at $2100 to fully utilise it's features.

The price difference between a brand new power fc djetro and a haltech is less than $200...(brand new) and that's not counting shipping for the fc.

Why on god's earth would you buy one over the haltech? You literally waste $500 on a tune if in 12 months you want more than what the fc offers. Haltech has the future proof. It's literally a no brainer

5 pages and OP hasn't been back since page 1. Question asked and answered on page 1.

What he has will get him what he wants with a couple of cheap 2nd hand larger AFM's.

the rest is cage rattling

Why not a single R35 AFM?

I bought mine because it was the best option at the time.

In my eyes, still is.

Didn't have a lot of the features it does now (one of the reasons I bought it, free software updates).

Now has flat shift, launch control, anti lag and flex capabilities.

And at only 1800 delivered.

This was when the platinum pro plug in was only a couple of months old.

I'm on my 3rd tune (different set ups and engines), and still loving it.

Each to their own.

+ wideband 02 feedback

+ 2-step, launch

+ flex

+ engine protection

+ no MAF

+ hectic software

+ no need for data logit box shit

+ usb plug wooooo, serial is homo

+ much much more, we'll even included a set of steak knives.

A fancy list of can dos does not make it a good ecu

People are seeming to miss what makes a good ECU, and that is running the blood engine the way the tuner wants it to run when the tuner wants it to run in the direction it is supposed to be running
