Trev Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 An ecu is something you don't wanna skimp on, I personally would buy a Haltech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't know, no longer work where we sold them, you will come under 2k to buy, have it installed and tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTIK[RL] Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) about $1100 for a haltech platinum sprint 500 kit  http://www.haltech.com/store/index.php/default/haltech-universal-ecu-kits/sprint/platinum-sprint-500-autospec-flying-lead-kit-long.html Edited July 22, 2012 by MYSTIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift_Marti Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 if you have basic mods like air filter and exhaust just get an apexi safc or some other form of air fuel correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droola Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 about $1100 for a haltech platinum sprint 500 kit  http://www.haltech.c...d-kit-long.html thats reaaaaal nice but i can't afford 1100 for a ecu :( most at extremeeee most is 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinky Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 You should be able to find something like a Haltech E8 from ebay, although they are a bit old they are really good for the price. If you don't have any supporting mods like higher duration cams, exhaust, coil packs etc then there is no point getting an after market ECU. Also don't forget you will still need to tune the ECU aswell which could set you back about $1000 considering it would be a complete re tune.

ke70dave Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Keep in mind you won't get a whole lot of gains from just an aftermarket computer..best to get some decent mods with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droola Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 well i want to get the ecu so i can get higher duration cams and hopefully silver top itbs, got the exhaust and getting extractors soon as i have only just purchased my first rolla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 But starting out with an aftermarket ecu will make parts fitting a whole lot better as you already have a base tune in it, food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
