Graham1984 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Even though I am somewhat broke at the moment next year I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a Mines ecu price depending so if you are considering selling one in the future send me a message or just write on this post reminding me they never show up for sale just for a laugh.

Ricky49 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Lee P could have one as I sold him mine when I got the Syvecs,could be worth a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Nice one I will keep it in mind. Got to have a major fund reshuffle but thought even though I cant afford it at the moment it was best to have a few possible options for when I raise the money some when.

Graham1984 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I tried Lee P but his was for a TT 6speed not a NA manual 5speed. If anyone else has one and would part with it in the future send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You'll be very hard pushed to find one of these as they are rarer than rocking horse s**t. I managed to get my hands on one from japan a few years ago, since then it has changed hands twice so I couldn't tell you who has it now.

Graham1984 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah I don't hold loads of hope but to be honest I am somewhat broke at the moment and thought there was no harm in advertising now in the off chance one comes available in the future when I have a bit more cash, What did you think of yours when you had it? I contacted mines but there is no way I am sending my ecu there or buying a new one at that price though for what the gain would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The thing with the mines was I didn't really notice the difference until I put my stock one back in and sold it on. It defiantly improved the midrange, especially in third, but didn't really do much more past the stock rev limit so it never really benefited from 600 more revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 That's all I want really I never expected a massive gain just a bit quicker pulling acceleration would be good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The Mines ecus are alright if you can get them cheap enough, i would not pay more than 2-250 for one, any more and you might aswell fit an EMB or EMU and have the ability to map it. I do miss the silly rev limit though, but not fun when your car is on the dyno and it goes way past 8k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 That price is around the limit I set myself probably would go to £300 and that's about it, Did think about EMU but it is just to expensive by the time it is brought and paid to be set up as I assume the mines is a straight swap over.

kraig Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Sorry to bring up an old thread, but how much of a difference do these ecus make? Never driven an NA before but wasnt majorly disappointed in the performance of mine although i had already decided on my 1JZ swap before i bought the car. On ripping the 2jz out with ecu, guess what i find;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Close, although I'm guessing he found a £300 pocket hole creator. I was going to say £250. The sad thing you may find is I want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraig Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Well funnily enough, i just put it to the side along with the other bits i wasnt going to use, for some reason i came across this thread earlier and thought, wait a minute!!!

I had one in my car, obviously it makes a bit more of a difference on a stock TT than it does on a stock N/A but it's still a great upgrade IMO.

Yeah I was faffing around with the idea of one of these or an apexi neo or something of the sort. I was going to call it quits on the upgrades after getting one of these or similar done and then maybe just a few cosmetic touches and call it a day. Are you selling yours then Kraig or have you just wafted this in front of my nose After nearly wrecking my car and scuffing the tyres more maybe I don't need a car that wants to accelerate faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraig Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Are you selling yours then Kraig or have you just wafted this in front of my nose Ohh, i dont know, decisions, decisions, could use it one day you know! Nah its yours if you want it mate, £250 delivered? That was the price you were thinking anyway. Not in a big rush to sell it so can hold it as long as you need. As i say i've never driven an NA before, daily driver is a modified XJR (393bhp), and i ran about in the Soarer TT for a while. Wasnt expecting much from an NA, and when i collected the car the owner said it was pretty fast, but was thinking to myself 'yeah right!' but driving it home i was quiet surprised. Took it for a spirited drive the morning after i bought it and the mid range 60-100 mark was surprisingly good! Dunno if you can see in the picture, but can give you the serial number to check whats been done before you consider buying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
