hey i was just wondering if anyone could let me know if the power fc is the only source that could be used as an upgrade for the computer or if there are any other options out there?? so if you could please let me know... thanks

 

what goal do you have for the car?

 

or more important, how big is your budget? Most stand alone ECUs are over 1k...

 

well i would like to make 500hp by the time i finish with it completly... so im startin my research

 

get the pfc

 

+1

 

Take a look at what the guys who are making that kind of power are using:

500 bhp... pfc okay la... not too bad..
if u got huge budget there are alot more choices if ur budget allowed..

those japs like to use Fcon Vpro for their highly tuned engines...
Haltech, or Motec or Microtek is also a good ECU..
people from my place... mixture of all above... a

 

The PFC is not the only stand-alone out there.

It is good, and easy to install/use, but not the only choice.

The question is this: Who is going to be tuning your car, and what are they best with?? If your tuner only knows Motec than buying a PFC would not be the best choice.

The limiting factor here is not the ECU, but the tuner.

 

hey thanks everyone this is alot of help... oh and i was wondering if the greddy emanage system would work or not? so if you could please let me know thanks

 

Negative on the e-manage. It's a piggyback and to safely run that sort of power you're going to need a stand-alone.

 

ok thanks that wat i needed to know cuz i was told it would work but i wasnt sure so thankyou

 

Just curious on what your budget is???? 500 rwhp is not cheap, and is not likely to be very durable. That means you may wind up building more than one engine. Unless you have a lot of "disposable" income, 500 rwhp is not a realistic goal.

 

well i know its not cheap cuz i already had to rebuild the engine once and now my turbos are goin so im goin to need to replace those.. but over all my budget is slim right now cuz of the rebuild so i am just looking and plannin ahead for now

 

slim budget and 500rwhp shouldnt be used in same sentance.

 

I don't think 500 rwhp is something you can afford. If if breaks, and there is a good chance it will, you won't have the money to fix it. It sounds like your budget will be stretched just to do basic bolt ons. That should get you into the 300 range, and get you a reliable car ............... that you can afford

 

yea i know 500 is high but like i said it was the end goal so owell for now looks like i will stay small but even for small wont i need a new ecu system?
