Even if you somehow (miracle from God maybe?) made a group deal successfully, I doubt the price would go south of $450-500. Best bet might be to wait and see how the Zemulator project pans out. Otherwise check Ebay for a used unit maybe?, but even then I'd be very wary of fraud.

If the Zemulator thing works out, my JWT may be for sale....

So what would the zemulator actually do? Will you have a little display that lets you tinker with the settings or somthing?

Then when you get it all tuned you could even burn a chip and sell the Zem.

I REALLY appreciate your help. This is going to help me out BIG TIME.

The ZEMulator is only for those people that want full control over their ECU. It sounds scary, but it's not once you spend a little time understanding the tuning process. If you want to go the easy way out, then you can just get an ECU upgrade, which AshSPEC will offer also for MUCH cheaper than JWT. The final price isn't released yet, but the z32 ECU upgrade is $300. I don't think the VE ECU upgrade will be more than $400. It's still a GREAT price for a dyno proven ECU upgrade!

Ah, So you are saying ASH-spec will come out with one for the VE that is just bolt in and go for about 400? Do you know if the rev limiter will be raised as well?

Oh yes! It will have everything that a JWT ECU has. You can chose any rev limiter you want. You can chose how aggressively you want it tuned. You chose your optimal VTC release point (you can only know that by getting on a dyno). Or you can just get a ZEMulator and do all that yourself.

But, once Ash gets my car on a dyno, he will be able to make an ECU upgrade for the VE that is reliable and will have dyno proof of the power increase. He will also tune a stock VE, I'm sure, to get a better idea of how to make a RELIABLE program and still increases power.

what about the 5spd guys? Is he going to leave the power valve alone or is it even programmable in the first place?

It is programmable! Since the ECU can control it, Ash can make his software EASILY have this feature to alter VI release point. So the VE Zemulator will have this function in the near future.

yeah but i mean on the preprogrammed ones how is he going to make it optimal if he uses your car for his dyno numbers? You have an auto and although you have a VI it isnt run by the computer so he has nothing for his base to go by.

Is he going to get a 5spd to work with also?

Oh yes, he will get a 5spd on the dyno. But the optimal VI release point for most normal (no serious port work) VE 5spds are going to be correct from the factory. So Ash will most likely leave that alone in the ECU upgrades. But that is something Ash can alter very easily if you want it. Or if you just get the Zem, the possibilities are endless.
