R34 Gtr Ecu Recommendations

[Felix_au]

Hi All,

I'm about to buy a R34 GTR v-spec II and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good aftermarket ECU to put in it? I am running a Microtech in my R33 GTR and when I had it fitted I had lots of problems getting it tuned right (I still think it's not 100%). I know lots of people put Apexi Power FC's in, but I not sure why. I'm just after some suggestions and some solid reasons about which way to go.

Cheers . . .

PFC is $900 delivered on average, almost unbeatable for price.

The best bet however, is chat to your tuner.

See which ECU they are most suited to, and go with that.

Just make sure its a pretty common ECU so you can go elsewhere need be, all there is to it really.

if you honestly want the best you cant go wrong with motec, but like ash said you cant really go wrong with PFC.

you gotta ask yourself aswell the following questions.

main use of car

wat power you want

wat your mech can actually tune.

the list goes on but it proberly better for you to give us a bit more info yourself.

I want to get as much power out of it as I can. I put a Microtech in my R33 GTR and not a Apexi Power FC because I was told that the Microtech would give me more kw. The car is not having the turbos changed over, but stage 1 type mods like cat back exhaust, dump pipes, intercooler, air filter etc will be done. This is an everyday car for me and will be running 1 bar of boost. I don't drive like a nanna otherwise I wouldn't own skylines, so I want to get the most out of it. I don't care what is cheaper etc I'm after the best performance.

Also, you've both mentioned that it depends on who tunes it. Who's a good tuner in Canberra? My current GTR was done in Sydney.

your tuner isnt %100 correct - any ECU can make power, i see no reason why a microtech would make more power of any other version of ECU

it all comes down to features, load points, tuneability, map resolution, and how well its tuned

You want a power fc. Not only will the power be fine but it will do all the "nice" things that you want in an everyday car.

Whoever told ya that is having you on and probably gets a kick back from selling Microtechs

Apexi Power FC - plug and play and heaps of people can tune it

Its also proven to work with positive results
