Howdy,
I've been talking to a few people about doing a few things to the car and, dare I say it, I'm happy to own a car where the available expertise is so enthusiastic and helpful. At present, I've decided to go for a clean 400-420bhp. This way, I get a peak performance R34 with cash to spare to spend on other things, such as AP brakes, intercooler and oil cooler and other items such as MFD2 and SatNav.
My decision lies within two options:
Alley Autosport offer the following:
D)
Apex-i ECU, mapped by Mr Alley Autosport
Boost controller
(more expensive)
ProRep Autosport offer the following:
D)
400BHP Mines ECU, premapped in Japan
Boost controller
(cheaper)
On top of this, I'm getting the IC and OC probably from Alley Autosport.
Now, I've always wanted a Mines ECU and Mr Chin says he will allow me the use of it for a few hours before I buy. I will be buying a knock detector any day now for the car so I will be able to notice any det by doing a try before you buy. If the Mines ECU works fine on 97RON + Octane Booster, then would anyone have any reservations about buying a plug'n'play ECU that was mapped in Japan? Or would you just play safe and go for the Apex-i remappable? The way I see it, our cars are mapped to run on 100ron from standard anyway.
Dino (DCD) swears by the Mines ECU + Boost Controller (EVC) combo, but he's running 100 RON, should I be concerned, because I'm planning on Optimax + Octane?
Help please! I wanna make a decision soon but I'm nowt but confused. Please make your comments non-biased and subjective.
