What Computer Should I Run

[old mate]

hey lads,

Soon i will be putting a series 1 rb25 into my cefiro with the following mods attached.

intercooler, air filter, 850cc high impedence injectors, 040 pump, fuel press reg, hks head gasket, arp bolts, spool rods, acl forged pistons, king bearings, ss high mount, gt3082r (3040) with a .62 rear, profec b spec 2, 40mm ex gate.

Now i am unsure on what computer to go with. this may have been a topic already covered on here and i did a bit of a search but with not satisfactory results. I want to avoid using an air flow meter and im happy to spend up to about 1500 for the computer. I have had people suggest the Autronic, hks fcon is, power fc, haltech. im sorta stumped and would love to get some advice from dudes who have been through this process. any help much appreciated.

Cheers guys.

any particular reason u prefer to run without an afm? otherwise id just say emanage ultimate or power fc ( although power fc u can run MAP), i luv my autronic but it probably will be over kill no need to spend that much.

one less thing in the way

[gazza750]

Vi-pec ecu slightly over 1500 but you can throw away your afm's

built in boost controller launch control and antilag if wanted

[bigmikespec]

+1 for a Vipec, go the V88!!!!

[DMAN#20]

+2 vipec v44 plugin, ive got one on my 32 gtr and cannot complain very adjustable and excellent power gained when it was fitted!

[old mate]

The HKS Fcon iS has optional MAP sensor capabilities. I think they are very competitive on price too compared to the likes of the TRUST Emanage and Haltech ECU's in this class.

Give Alex from GT Auto Garage in Brisbane a call. www.gtautogarage.com.au

my votes going to go for the wolf v500. but i upgraded from a power fc to one and it was the best thing i've done.

little bit over your price but well worth the cash.

[R32 Driver]

depends on which tuner you go for

but for the $$ vi-pec or haltech seems very popular

both have antilag/launch control/boost control etc etc

haltech is more pricey though

but i think a power fc d-jetro (map sensor) will be around 2k these days?

(if they make it for your car)

what car?

what power level?

and what exactly was the big improvement?

[Bliksem]

Seems to me if you want to run a MAP sensor it comes down to about 4 decent choices:

Vipec

E-Manage Ultimate

Haltech E8

Wolf V500

[Swiper the Fox]

haltech is more pricey though

and takes twice as long to tune...which = even more money

[old mate]

i got quoted $1400 from gt auto for the hks unit. the issue is not everyone can tune that ecu and i supose that is the same for a few of the options i am limiting myself to. i dont know im still torn on what to get.

[gibbau]

what about an adaptronic?

[super_s13]

I would say. Go and find a reputable tuner that you can and will trust with your car and feel they are the right shop for you. Speak with them and ask them what they would recommend as they are the ones tuning it. I got on here and asked similar questions and they all told me power FC. i went with a microtech as my tuner has told me it will work and he has told me if it does not work he will replace it with something else free of charge. I trust him and he likes working with them over most other things. It depends on there preference. You might pick something take it somewhere and then we will see the horror thread about how you have to pay for them to learn a new product. Makes sense to me
