listy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Will be looking to get an aftermarket stand alone ecu end of this year. Obviously Syvecs, Mines and HKS FCON V Pro are the golden ecu's, but I don't think my funds will stretch to them. What are the other recommended ecu's? Looking for one that will also counter fuel cut, (do all ecu's do this?) I will be going single at some point, looking for 550-600bhp, currently BPU, so would like to future proof. Also thinking of getting RLTC. Any others (bar Syvecs) that are recommended? I have searched for this, but no joy. Good points and bad points of ecu's would help too Edited January 27, 2013 by listy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 greddy e-manage? piggy back i think? not sure how that will perform around the 600bhp mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wont the fact you are a NA-TT 5speed come into play to some degree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Best thing you can do is save longer and it will save you money in the long run, I know the syvecs is alot but it comes with all features that soon add up on other units, but most important of all you need your mapper to pick as if you get a ecu they dont know it will cost you soooooo much extra in mapping trust me I know,!!

tooquicktostop Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I know it's going to sound tough but if you can't afford an ECU you really can't afford to go single properly IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I know it's going to sound tough but if you can't afford an ECU you really can't afford to go single properly IMO I'm not going single yet, just picking up parts as and when they come along. It's not that I can't afford an ecu, just one like a Syvecs will be a bit out of my reach for a while. When you factor in the Syvecs itself, then the sensors, and all the gubbins that go with it, it adds up to a hefty bill. Oh, and it would go to Ryan to be mapped Hence looking for a good aftermarket stand alone ecu, that doesn't come with the same price tag.

Stephen G Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 what about one of the new link pnp ecu http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-Turbo-MkIV-2JZ-GTE-LINK-Plug-In-ECU-/290842932255?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43b796f41f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Delay the build a month or two and get the right parts. Trust me, it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Like I said best talk to ryan to see what he will map with a single as he wouldnt do my fic as its his name on the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Apexi power FC, second hand. I wouldn't touch an AEM, and Mines isn't a mappable iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Delay the build a month or two and get the right parts. Trust me, it's worth it. As I said, I'm just gathering parts bit by bit, and the ecu will be for running BPU first. I'm just looking for a mappable standalone ecu, that can be used for a single, (when I get that far) for future proofing. A Syvecs will be there eventually.

Steve Paine Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Seriously hold out for a Syvecs. I have a HKS F Con pro and finding a reliable mapper is a nightmare! Thankfully Ryan G did it in the end. Save and speak to Ryan. Or in a years time pm me and I will sell you my F Con and swap it for a Syvecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 You might, if you are brave, look at an Adaptronic. http://adaptronic.com.au/forum/index.php At least one very knowledgeable forum member is using one on a VVti. If I am frank, I would have to say if you can't run to at least a Syvecs I wouldn't start the project, the cost of the ecu will be incidental in the whole picture. You could run it on a DTA ecu, but they are pretty low end and support isn't brilliant, but they are very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
