wat do you think?
cheers

Aftertmarket.

[bluemaumau]

i gotta limited budget. cant you just chip them? how much would a aftermarket one be?

[matt dunn]

i gotta limited budget.

you and everyone else

cant you just chip them?

No

how much would a aftermarket one be?

Depends on what one you choose and new or s/h.

[bluemaumau]

are you 100% sure you cant chip them?

k well say jow much for a new one?

and how much for s/h?

looks like you can't afford to run with the big boys yet, so why don't you just lay low for now and drive a Honda?

Bahaha who you calling big boy's.. Big Boy's can't fit into a Hair Dresser's Car can they ..


Depend's on how much you want to spend you could run Link for anything from $500 to $1500 (for a ECU) plus your wiring and shiz on top of that..

[Akane]

Since when I drive a MX-5? :/

[tomo1985]

Id go for the MTX-8 Micro tech. They retail about $1400, also how much as your engine cost you so far. I was looking at doing the same awhile back.

You can run on the 4AGZE MAP ECU, but there's the power dip at 5500 rpm as the ECU dumps fuel into the engine, and it's only got the fuel and spark maps for up to 15psi.

If you are happy with those limitations, use the ZE ECU.

If not, you are looking at the cost of an Aftermarket ECU, Installation and tuning.

Good luck trying to get a GZE ecu to run on a multi throttle setup.
They need very different maps.

Unless you go aftermarket ECU you are wasting your time.
$1000 minimum fitted for an ecu.

You are of course joking!?

You are talking about running an engine requiring more fuel than the ZE on the ZE map with smaller injectors. Dead certainty, lean detonation.

Just go aftermarket.

Aftermarket? What brand of aftermarket ECU can I buy with a paperclip and 2 cents?

[Alex B]

I belive transonic now do one for that price.

[EVL20V]

link plus

Buy a CRC plastic sprayer, and fill it wil petrol instead of CRC.
Spray it into the throttle body as you drive along.
You just have to time your sprays with the engine.

[Akane]

sounds something like buying whipped cream NOS canisters and hooking them up into the intake.................

[JamesM]

lol you guys talk a whole lot of crap.. amusing tho..
i have a friend that runs 20v with an IHI forrester turbo using the MTX-8 Micro tech retainig the quads. has 150kw at wheels on 9psi.

[trd__levin]

just do it right and buy a LEM V5 for just under $1000 brand new and wire it yourself.. its not to hard trust me. Link has great support and they will send you wiring pics and everything.

[bluemaumau]

shot bro. yea i can do it myself. but then ill have to tune it aye? how mush is that?
