Hassan Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Hi what will be the best piggyback ecu to use for a single turbo convertion if you dont want to spend the money for a standalone ecu? I only want max 550bhp to 600bhp. A nice street setup. Its a vvti and auto. Edited May 26, 2013 by Hassan (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I'd go for something like this what Lee P has for sale http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?290961-***-Big-Parts-Sale-**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 AEM does a nice piggy back that Ryan did map a couple of times iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 A lot of members use the greddy emanage ultimate, it's a pretty good piggyback unit and fairly inexpensive. I'd personally spend a little more and get a decent second hand standalone unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Most piggy backs are poor , its always best to save now and you will save your self a head ache later on, I wish I would of listened and saved that little extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassan Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah. How much is that coming in at now days?? Fitted and mapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah. How much is that coming in at now days?? Fitted and mapped? £1000-1500 for the ECU, then around £300-400 for mapping with Ryan, Well worth it though. One of the best ECU's out there .

Hassan Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Thats the thing its a huge investment. Looking at £2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Thats the thing its a huge investment. Looking at £2000. HKS F Con V Gold is a good ecu, Lee P had one for £850 with the harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say £1500 is that for a new one? And does it include all the sensors needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 The syvecs is £1299+ vat + mapping + sensors Typical prices are £2500-£3000 installed mapped with sensors and extras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Apexi PowerFC would be my choice of piggy back. Best looking on RX-7 and Honda forums for them 2nd hand. They tend to be expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 HKS F-con Lee is selling will be your best bet. Apexi PFC is stand alone, only good for manual cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartmann Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 get a look a round the forums .. alot the F-con´s is going out and in goes the syvecs and ProEfi´s .. so there is a good bargain to do from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 also depends how long he wants to wait for mapping, last i heard ryan was really busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 also depends how long he wants to wait for mapping, last i heard ryan was really busy I remember reading about how Ryan has got a new mapper joining syvecs to take some of the work load off him and provide better support, so Ryan's availability shouldn't be an issue.

ashbuster Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 nice , good to know ill save the extra for a syvecs then too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I've run a GT35R on a Greddy E-Manage Blue then Ultimate since 2004, seems to work just fine (apart from a mystery warm start issue that might not even be anything to do with it). I think brand new with the right gubbins these are £600? Significantly less than a Syvecs and perfectly capable of doing the job, just less bells and whistles. I hear of these mystery nightmares with EMU units but never any real detail as to what the problems are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Another vote for the EMU, never had any problems with mine running a GT 4088 at about 550BHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 HKS F-con Lee is selling will be your best bet. Apexi PFC is stand alone, only good for manual cars. ^ that! I have and HKS F Con Pro that was mapped by Ryan G. It does all I want, but I do hear that Syvecs does some quite sexy things like reducing torque at gear change etc, so that you can have more power through the box! Personal preference and available cash will be the decider for you no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
