Mine's Vx-rom

Seen these before? Easily remapped? Anyone even got one? ~800 for a trade in ur stock ecu for one of these sounds ok...

I asked Mine's and they said this is only part they hold for ECR33's. They are still alive and kicking.

I dont know where you get $800 from, but you need to check your exchange rate. 96,000 yen is just over $1000 plus shipping of your ecu there, plus weeks wait while they send one back, plus the shipping back. It would be over $1200. plus it's just a re-map of a standard ecu. you could do it here for less (hell you get buy a power FC for less) and at least whatever you did here would be tailored to your car and aus conditions.

There must be some benefit though. I mean you pay ~800 (because I did conversion... dont make this an argument about conv rates its about vx-rom.) and you trade in your ECU for this one, it has to be something better than just be a Mine's part.

Do you pay the amount just for a re-mapped ECU and a Mine's sticker on it? I sent another email to Mines to give me all the features about the ECU. They got back to me within 2 hours last time so well see.

I got to say I'm a big fan of Mine's tuning, they do a fantastic job on their cars.

go ahead and buy it, but i can tell you, it's just a remapped standard ecu with speed limit removed, rev limit raised, fuel cut removed and mapping suitable for higher boost. and yes the price is relevant to this thread. 96,000 yen is over $1000AUD plus you have to pay for shipping both ways and do without an ECU for a few weeks. a power FC for instance which is readily tuneable can be had for around $1000 AND you still have your old ecu so no time spent off the road, and when you swap you can sell your old ECU for say $150. Total cost then is $850 + tuning.

I also think mines are a great tuning company, but buying a pre-tuned ecu from another country, from a tuner that has never seen your car is not a smart idea. taking your car to mines and getting them to map a chip for you in real time on the other hand would be great. if you lived in japan that is.

and FTR I have previously used a mines ecu in one of my cars.

^^ his right mate. i also love the mines tunning shop & their work. but honestly better to get a power fc and get it locally tuned. i sold my power fc that came with my car because it wasnt tuned and i didnt have the money to tune it at the time so i bought a mines ecu. i 100% regret doing that hahaha. dont get me wrong the mines ecu is good for bolt ons (exhaust air filter etc), but once u start doing injectors/afm etc u'll need something that is re-tuneable.
