inexpensive ecu

Yo. Just bought a 5th gen, and want to mod it out. I'm wondering what a good, fairly inexpensive, ecu is going to run me? Also what are some good brands to look for? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No ECU mod for the gen 5.5 buddy (I think ).

Sell up and get a turbo/supercharged car

Serioiusly tho, I wouldnt bother modding the ecu unless you do something big.. But at the end of the day, maxima's are 'slow' boats good for the long runs...

*puts of flame suit*

I wouldn't call the gen 5.5 slow but the boat part I agree

^^ There is no ECU upgrade for our cars

But, the advantage of the 3.0 is that if you simply want straight line speed and acceleration, go buy a used supercharger kit and for ~$1500 or so you can have yourself a SC Maxi.

^^ I don't really agree on the boat thing, unless GXE/GLE then yes.. The 5th gen SE's feel pretty decent, and with good suspension setup can be quite non-boat like.
