basically in south Ireland a plug and play ecu seems to be the best value on a ct9 as gettin an piggyback or standalone fitted wired etc is a serious ride
also a lot of mappers don't seem to know what there at at all
Ya there are some bad tuners down south but there are some good ones too and they aren't as dear as you might think considering their costs. Have you any idea how much a dyno is?
im making 190.6bhp on a jam ecu with the standard turbo! i love my ecu its worth £650 to me all day long i dont have to pay for a costly remap! i can sell it on for the same as wot i paid for its super rare, hayes dynotech in erith couldn believe how good the ecu was? also he had glanza in pictured on their flyers and is a member of one of the starlet forums and he made 209bhp on a apexi power fc and had many more upgrades than my car inc turbo i think.
when i arrived they asked me wot i had done to the car and asked me to estimate a figure i said 180 and they laughed and told me bout the power fc glanza that only made 209. they were shocked and impressed with my results p&p ftw in my opinion
im running a standard ecu with standard turbo etc, just using an fcd and rrfpr and fuel pump, and an avcr to control the boost as made 190bhp on sanspeeds dyno, which is the same as hayes's. i know both very well.
so to me it doesnt seem like the ecu does anything extra?
I know your actually agreeing with me in what im saying but for the sake of fairness i must point out that peak power isn't really a fair comparison. The mid range power and torque could be totally different even if the peak power is the same
what about blue?
who is gona put there car forword for the test lol I should be able to get my hands on the ecus has to be running stock boost
COUGH**bringit**COUGH
Even better - I got the perfect car for this if you have the dyno. My auto still has both the stock ecu installed and the Sard ECU just lying in the footwell as a footrest (lazy bastard syndrome). 30 secs swaps them. All we do is do a back to back run with the same turbo, same intercooler, same exhaust, same actuator, same muppet at the wheel, and both runs will be inside minutes of each other..
