where can i find an aftermarket ecu for a 98 se. ive heard some about a couple brands on here but never any lincs and google cant help me. prolly next mod after y pipe next month.

 

either JWT or technosquare, both advance timing and altered AF ratios, The JWT can raise your rev limit if you have a variable intake, best best is to keep an eye on the classifieds forums for one

 

Best to forget the word ECU and get e-Manage Ultimate. Said it a thousand times on this forum, buying an ECU is like buying a VCR. Yeah it will display movies, but why bother when it is outdated, doesn't work as well, and has less features.

 

... cause the ECU is a plug and play... boost in power etc. and the emanage has to be tuned... depending on the user... the emanage might be bit toomuch...

I would get the ECU only because of the simplicity but the emanage def will give you tons more customization.

 

just lookin for a little edge with not a lot of effort. i want the timing adjust and some different fuel ratios. i know i can get a lot more popwer out of max simply because of trying differnt gas types and different weather and even different altitudes. i would like to be able to tune everything but if it is cheaper just get a premade setup then im cool with that. whats the next low cost mod after y-pipe, and ecu. im thinkin about rims but i just baught new khumos so im waiting on that. i like the little 5-10 hp increasers. if i keep doing it like that i wont get tired of it.

 

already answered but like above jwt, and technosquare for upgraded ecu, (does TS still upgrade them?) you will need a 95/96 ecu and match your tranny.

greddy emanage ultimate with your stock 98 ecu is also another option.

i see the pros and cons too, a used upgraded ecu would be more plug and play (ha ! we say plug and play but that ecu bracket can put up a darn good fight, and has been known to beat the stew out of a few members before they won the fight in a 12 round deceison, rofl !) its also going to make you faster.

for me i have moved on to greddy eu but havent installed it or tuned it yet. since i dont have the skills to do it myself. thats something else to consider. price of EU, wiring harness, plus install and tune.

There is a write up in the all motor forums though.

some good basics though would be

- ypipe
- ecu upgrade
- lightweight wheels
- 00VI swap (which you would want to consider JWT ecu + (rpm switch) for the upgrade or Greddy EU)

right off the top of my head those upgrades listed are worth doing for performance, anything else would be minor

 

have you ever heard about hte venom 400 module??

i'm considering upgrading the ecu in my car and by looking over the forum here and on npclub.com, they upgrage by purchasing apex'i NEO or greddy e manage. Is there anythyng between?? Also what do you think about the turboXS D-TEC???
