adi2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I m just curious to know if there is anyone on this forum running an Autronic ecu on their supra??? I ve got one and I m finding it hard to get support for their products. I ve got an Autronic SM4 and a 500R CDI system waiting to be installed on my T61 single supra.

michel lane Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 what made you go down this route in the first place ? after all the ecu reviews on this forum and advice on which to use, you went for autronic...... get rid of it and go for something simple, talk to ryanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Terry used it on this old purple supra and that was pretty insane.....must be truthful as michael said there are far simpler ECU's out there that will give the same result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Autronic is a great ecu, speak with Mark Shead at M.A.Developments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Autronic is a great ecu, speak with Mark Shead at M.A.Developments. I heard that he dropped them now for Vipec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I expect though that money talks, if you have the ECU already he'll probably map it... SM4 and the CDI unit are fine systems. Its rediculous to just ditch it for another ECU, they work perfectly well, Autronic should give you a list of authorised tuners in the UK.

Guest darrenp Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would still talk to the guy mentioned above as the ViPec was designed by the same guy as the Autronic so he should be more than happy to setup and tune your car. Even the tuning screen is the same to use. I run an Autronic S4 on my Supra and once the ECU was installed and the idle controller was sorted, for a Mazda part, we had the car up and running and with a good tune in 2hrs aprox. My Tuner specializes in Microtech ECU's but after fitting the Autronic to my Supra ( his first contact with this brand ) he has decided to get and fit one to his Supra. The Autronic S4 has many good features and the Traction Control works a treat and puts my 340rwKw to the ground without any twitching and movement even over rough or wet surfaces. When its turned off things get fairly exciting which proves to me how well it works. Definately dont get rid of the Autronic as Im sure you will be very pleased once up and running.

JamieP Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 When i looked into them ages ago the couple of things that put me off was the price and the fact they have to be hard wired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darrenp Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I just used a field harness I bought when I had my Emanage and wired the Autronic to that. Now I can just unplug and refit the stock ECU if I need. Price wise last time I looked the ViPec was more expensive. Both the Autronic and ViPec are certainly not cheap or entry level ECU's but they certainly do the job. Cheers Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adi is going to have a bit of a problem when it comes to getting it mapped by somebody in the UK, as he lives in India;) Surprised you didn't go for the Solaris Ecu, or is it down to getting somebody to map it, or are you thinking of doing it yourself?

adi2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I hadnt heard of the Solaris when I got the AUtronic. I m going to have to fly over an Autronic dealer/tuner from Malaysia to install and tune the ECU. Bit of a pain but I havent managed to get the EMU to work spot on myself so I thought I d just get it done by a professional to avoid future issues.

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thats going to work out a touch expensive, make sure you get some advice on how to do a bit of tweaking in future if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'd already gathered he'd have to fly someone in... When AEM's were new mappers were flown in from the states, Dimitri was flown in etc etc... The SM4 is a fine choice. Very robust.
