Plug and play ecu, ep91 jam or blitz pref any considered

The money ull waste buying a jam blitz Ecu
Ud be much better getting an emanage blue or a daz tech unichip
The cost pretty much the same if not less and at least u no is mapped to ur spec etc and will work 100% better than a pre flashed Ecu that might have been flashed to a std car with an uprated air filter
No one really no the specs of them

As a satisfied user of a Jam ecu for the pass 7 years I can't help but find such comments...upsetting. The debate about ecus has been ongoing for years now. At the end of the day, to each his own. If the man wants a piece of starlet tuning history let him have it without the browbeating. "will work 100% better than a pre flashed Ecu"...

The cost of having a mapped piggy back will be similar and noone by me will fit and map,

I found one play that will map and don't want to drive miles and pay £300 for a map

Many people run these on hybrid at one bar and that all I want

Over the years I've used my Jam ecu with a ct9 at 12psi, a ct9/ct20 hybrid at 12, 15 and 18psi and currently with a td04 at 15psi max. 7 years...no blown engine, no tuning costs. As I've said before, these units are not the final word on tuning, but in my opinion they should not be slated as badly as some do. Circumstances considered, to each his own.

I had one for 3 years to with no issues and make 218 bhp on a ct9 hybrid I no they work
But do u not think that mapping ur car to ur set up would be better ? ? Of course a custom map to ur car will make it run 100% better that on Ecu that blitz slapped a chip in and flashed to some jap mans car !
My mate thought he'd do the same (kemnaychris) but once we fitted the mines Ecu he bought we found that the fuel cut was still at the std level and couldn't run 1 bar intact the car ran much better with the std Ecu
I'm just giving the guy my advise Cause not all ecu's are as good as folk make out

I'm in Birmingham

Where can I go to get emanage fitted and mapped
By a decent tuner that isn't going to
Rip me off and I won't have to drive for
2.4 hours

Yes Marc had my jam ecu was the biggest waste of 450 pounds I ever spent it ran like poop was no difference at all and it was a proper sealed unit ran 1.0 bar no issues on my hybrid just fuel cutted all time but put standard ecu with a FCD ran like a dream and afr was spot on

I now run emanage blue with td12 hybrid 260bhp

So I would go with Marc and get a proper map with a print out and u know it runs its as its mapped and not just a ecu from jap land

I was 500 for a emanage blue fitted by Marc's bro and mapped at Wallace performance

If ur Ecu was set on a ct9 And uv fitted a tdo4 ur car must dump in loads of fuel between 2500 and 4500 rpm couse ur Ecu will have been mapped to a car that spools a lot quicker and earlier and would need a lot more fuel down low than a tdo4 would

Super Mod (極度の調整器)
Some people prefer simplicity over in-depth tuning. Replacement ECU's are simple, plug in and go, and just as easily removed. As long as it has time to settle itself during the initial run-in period, I can't ever see a problem occurring (not like Blitz, JAM TOM's or Mine's just knocked them up in a shed with no thought for safety is it?). OK, so if you have a modded car already, then yes, EBC's would be a better route. For those without massive mods, and for who are after some good, safe power, then these are excellent. Not everyone knows how to, or likes messing with EBC's etc, and these offer a good alternative. Besides, given their price, you could probably sell for the same price as when you bought it.

Just throw in my 2 cents here! I had a mines plug and play ecu on my GT. It transformed the car, it was an absolute animal, loved every second of it. I had the fueling checked initially and everything seemed fine but about 9 months down the line - engine went bang. If you do go down this route bud watch your fueling like a hawk. Get it checked and get yourself a wideband as a backup. Remember that these pre-programmed ecu's are probabaly not programmed for your setup unless you get lucky!

I have a K24/26 hyrbid glanza now mapped on EMU. My GT was a hybrid CT9 on the mines ECU. I can say without doubt that the GT was more fun to drive - just over the top aggressive...BUT the glanza is catching up now and once I get her dyno tuned as opposed to road tuned I am sure the glanza will be a similar or better animal.

Looking back, I enjoyed my time with the GT. However, the confidence of a piggyback with a good tune and just knowing your car is setup correctly and will last far outweighs the fun factor and accessibility of those pre-programmed ecu's.

Also, piggybacks are getting cheaper & cheaper while those pre-programmed ecu's remain sought after & expensive items. I would not be surprised if you could get a piggyback and get it mapped for the cost of the pre-programmed ecus - you certainly could not in the past but I think you could now.

A sensible summary. I am certain Liam has done the research on all his ecu options. After all of the discussion on ecus on this forum I would have thought by now that if someone says they want a Jam, Mines or Blitz ecu, others would assume they know what they are requesting and why they are requesting it and just leave it be. I still say the browbeating reply on how it's a waste of money and he'd get 100% better results with another option is uncalled for. It is not just "friendly advice". Leave it be, to each his own. Sorry, I'll stop spamming you thread now.

I experienced the same problem with the KS ROM ecu i ran... my standard ecu run my car much better :)

Is this genuine?

Sorry I can't comment on what it's suppose to do
U shouldn't have a fcd fitted with these ecu's it interferes with the signals to ur map sensor
And the std valve terrain wouldnt cope long at over 8k
