i think the good options bantered about are Apexi power fc, vipec or motec, motec being cripplingly expensive.

for your setup unless its full time motorsport i'd say Apexi power fc D-jetro would be the go.

you can turf the afm's and it is possible to program via laptop

vipec has anti lag, i'd prolly buy it for that alone but i already have a poer fc.

the motec you have a loom to contend with which will mean both splicing into your current cars wiring and some special wiring which ads to the cost and complexity. that said motec would have to be the best

Basic PFC - Simple, Easy to use, Cheap, Comes with commander where u can view your engine status

No lauch control, No anti lag and runs AIRFLOW sensoR!

Haltech E11V2 - Price now are cheaper and getting more affordable. So i would say this is the best ECU around.

Comes with everything, launch control, anti lag and yeah..it runs map!

AEM - Should be the same as Haltech E11 but with an extra traction control and its a lil' pricey.

MOTEC M600 - Buy it if youre a serious track goer and very nice data logging features.

the m800 has a faster board than the m600. its only $400 more expensive so id go that way between those 2.

a fully optioned m800 is going to cost u ~4-5k before you even install it. if ur serious thats the way to go, otherwise get the haltech e11v2

Tuners are pulling MoTeC's out and putting Vi-PEC's in....superior ecu. Ring Scott at Insight if you would like a full explaination why he is doing this.

Mark Jacobsen even said last night he would like to pull his MoTeC out and run a Vi-PEC.

Haltech...lol

i'm yet to be shown how and why these vipecs/links are sooooo much better than a motec/haltech, u know i'm not going to jump ship with such little info paul.

show me solid evidence, and i mean tech specs as to why, then i may consider recommending and using them.

and dont get me started on marks tuning, yes he can tune big hp cars, but i've seen some bloody terrible streeters

i have and RB26 2.8 with twin apexi rx6's , im looking to get a programable ecu something like motec or microtech

has anybody got either and which one is better ?

the Motec is better by nautical miles :rolleyes:

/thread

that was easy...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
