I have been wondering if its worth aobut double the price to get the technosquare ECU over the unorthodox racing udp? I have a 97, so i guess i have to go to a junkyard and find a 95-96 ECU or buy one from someone???? this seems like a hassle, and how much would it be to buy one? and is the ecu really 2 or 3 times better than a udp?

 

what do you mean worth double? these mods are completely different in every way. you need to do some research and find out what these mods do and what best fits your plan for your car.

With a UDP, you need to replace you belts as well. From my readings, I've learned that ECU upgrade gives you power throughout the entire powerband. UDP on the other hand allows for a faster revving engine. For pure HP gains, the ECU will probably be better.

get UDP, it's cheaper and release stress on engine revving throughout the entire rpm range. the performance gain is noticible.

ECU requires more work. i say get the basic bolt-ons first then get ECU. (intake, y-pipe, UDP, catback)

 

If you have the money the ECU is definitely worth it. I went CAI, then UDP, Y-pipe, Cat, Cat-back, lastly for now ECU. After you have all these you can haul *** pretty well. Dont forget about suspension and good tires.

 

I have done my researching, and i just want to know, since udp is $200 and ECU is ~$400, im just saying is ECU worth twice as much, based on performance? cuz i dont now which one i should get.

 

Get both, id get ECU first though you will notice more of a gain from it. ECU would be my 2nd mod after Y pipe if I had to do it over again

 

i have both. i got the UR UDP before my technosquare ecu however. i could barely tell the power that the UDP added or actually "released". with the technosquare ecu i could def fell the extra pull throughout the whole powerband. i would recommend the ecu over the udp if you want more power. it really is not that much trouble, i have a 97 also. just buying an older ecu and send it to technosquare for a few days then just take the old one out and put the new one in.

 

Where and how much can i get a new or used 95/96 ECU? Cuz i have a 97, so i need to get a 95/96 ECU, and i just wanna know estimated price, and wehre i can get them from?

 

Call local junkyards and watch the 4th gen classifieds.

Get the ECU. When I installed the UDP it was nice, but not nowhere near as noticiable as the ECU.
Check car-part.com Im sure you can find one there fairly easy for around 100 bucks.

 

upgraded ecu .2
UDP .0

 

ceasar, where did you get your 95/96 ECU? theres only ONE on ebay right now for 100 buy it now, and the bid is at $0.99, but theres a reserve. I just wnna know where and how much you got yours, cuz i wanna get a good deal if i do this.
