Does anyone have any info on replacement chips for stock ecu I saw on eBay. They market them as poformance chips and the cost about 40 with postage. Just sounds a bit dodgy to me. The company is called Emance custom car and ecu tuning. If they where ok was thinking of getting one till I get a new ecu or nisstune chip.

If you want a quick remap for more power, contact Toshi on this forum.

He can chip the stock ECU and tune it for a very reasonable price, with known GOOD results.

All motors in all cars will react differently to a harder tune, no off the shelf tune other than something as tame as stock will be safe to simply plug into your car without proper testing.

WTF! 3 different views on it all. To me if a new chip is just a new tune how the Fu"k do u tune a car without a car? I'll go with the 2nd post and just save for a ecu. Hard to find a good tuner with on the car on the dump, let alone just a chip.

aardi they are all saying the same thing mate. basically stay away from mail order chips or ecus. your car needs to be tuned in real time with the tuner in the car. all cars behave differently so a mail order tune is a waste of money and could potentially damage your car.

best bet is save for a nistune upgrade and tune of your factory ecu.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
