Do I need an aftermarket ECU??

HighTach7 · 05-07-01, 06:44 PM

My main concern is reliability, not more HP. Of course i'm going to floor it from time to time.. As of now my 7 is undergoing major surgery. Here are the engine mods that will be on the car when i next drive it:

94 RX-7
Intake
Downpipe
Exhaust
Streetported

I feel pretty damn sure that i need an aftermarket ECU. Just give me a good reason WHY i need one, and what i should look for (under $1,200). Thanks a million!

There is one major one. You can adjust a Haltech, or you can put a band-aid on your factory ECU. I just finished my second Haltech install and I don't have any way to express my total happiness with my E6K and the Hitman (my source for the product) Good luck on your quest!

Motec, Haltec, Wolf 3D, Power FC..

I've heard them all, now how do i get one. I plan on no further engine modificiations besides a midpipe... Soooo, do i simply order the ECU with the perameters setup to the modifications done to the car and finito?

intake, downpipe, midpipe, exhaust, streetported, pulley

Here again, the cheaper the price the better!!! I've seen used ones for around $500, which is a very comfortable price for me

Get in touch with the Hitman he is the only way to go, very fast service, the best product, and knowledge. My 2nd gen runs better that stock and now I can tune it. If you can handle the install it's well worth the effort.

How to get a hold of Hitman. How much is that with the harness and is there a post with detailed instructions. I really want to do this, but thought it must be dynotuned. How long does the install take. I have a GTX and a GTR.

Need some T2 advice, PM me if possible.

Thanks, ARD
