You spent 8700 quid on a rebuild and put mhoosive injectors in it, but, decided against an ECU, what fooking muppet suggested that was the best way to go?

PowerFC, HKS Fcon, Greddy EManage, take your pick mate, PowerFC seems to be the ECU of choice.

does it just plug straight in? where can i get one and do you have any idea what the damage£££ will be???

Jakester · 27th December 2005, 09:18 PM

No idea how much they are, but, there is nothing that will just plug in, you are going to have to pay to have the ECU mapped to use your new setup.

You should probably look at the ecu mate.

Power fc would be my suggestion. After that, a new turbo would be next on the list.

(You didn't mention if you had iridium plugs? or if you have only changed the decat pipe or the whole exhaust system, including the downpipe?).

What are you trying to aim for?

and what is the car being used for?

(these might sound stupid questions, but they make a big difference to how you should go about your modifications.

).

the car is in every day use!! i have platinum plugs the exhaust is hks system but not the down pipe!

Jakester · 1st January 2006, 04:06 PM

you might want to change to iridium plugs, oh, and stop listening to the twat of a tuner that is working on your car.

Andy Hornsby · 1st January 2006, 04:25 PM

and get the down pipe changed, it'll allow the car to breather much better.

The PFC is plug and play unit and they sell for £430+.

My own advice would be go to a proper tuner like GT-Art, Abbey or RB Motorsport and the like and get the job done right. You have spent a sh*t load of money so far and without the proper mapping and turbo etc it isn't worth a damn and you might as well have spent it on chocolate and if the mapping etc isn't done right that's exactly what your engine will melt like - chocolate.
