i was wondering what was out there for the 00ecus, i read that the 00 had a funky computer compared to the 4th gens-99 and the 01s were totally different, what yields the best bang for the buck, i need to would swapping the ecu be worth it to have more options, i might get flamed for not knowing this, but worth a shot at asking.

friend of mine will sell me his slightly used vafc2 for 150, i suppose i could alwasy do that, seems a good deal to me.

 

there are no ecus worth spending any money on. if there was an L spec from technosquare then it might be handy but that project was never produced besides a few testers. i would have a few dyno runs before i bought a vafc2. i picked one up because my a/f was running 11-12:1 after 4k rpms all motor. get 3 pulls with a/f and see if the purchase is justified.

 

emanage ultimate.. or standalone ecu..

 

i was thinking of the emanage ultimate, any idea what the power gains are from any of these, im not expecting alot,but i know header can throw things off pretty good.

 

seems the ultimate allows one to adjust the rev limiter, all i would need is the unit and a laptop right, there seems theres lots of other attachments i need, but im not sure, im new to cumputer upgrades, my other car just had a chip to install.

 

First justify if you need it (a/f) sloppymax

 

i'd start first with a wideband o2 and a simple s-afc or v-afc. You'd save some money by tuning yourself when you datalog the A/F ratio and then tune it yourself instead of paying for dyno time

 

i plan on going all out , in time, id rather just do it right the first time. i plan on building a new motor 3.5bottom 3.0 top and then doing all bolt ons, i know im pretty much stock now. alot of what makes me want it is the rev limiter, is there an easier way to raise mine with out an emanage ultimate?

 

Why?

What IM are you planning on using?

Crawl before you walk....

 

i mean ill be building a motor using both3.0 and 3.5 part,s not jsut slapping things together. i was plannign on useing an 00/01 im , but i havent decided yet.i just finished my suspension, brakes, and basic mods, now its time to tackle the motor

what would be the best bang for the buck all motor combo, i know thats an involved question.
