hi everyone..

im putting a ca18det into my 1200 ute and interested in wat ecu's people are useing..

im look for something that i can have tuned easy, different boost settings and wont break the bank..

any info, wat ecu's or just wat you used in your build will be of help as just tryin to get an idea of where to start..

cheers blair..

I would worry about who is going to tune it and go off what they would recommend. If they are a reputable tuner then chances are they will use a ecu that willl up to the task.

whats wrong with the stocker?
cheap easy and has been set up correctly

Microtech are probably the best bang for buck... But will still cost you on average around the $2200 mark, Pretty cheap as most of the other ecu's cost that much just for the ecu...
The standard ecu works fine (obviously)

i would of agreed with Jeffery about Microtech until i got an EMS unit fitted to my coupe. I had a Eprom chipped standard ECU but it wasn't coping with the bigger injectors and large turbo.

I fitted a EMS 4860 and haven't looked back. 16 inputs and 17 outputs, more load points for tuning then all bar the mega $ computers and everything is sequential. the car runs like a stocker and it cost less then $2k fitted and the guy tuned it in two hours...not bad by my standards. funny part was when i tuned up he said it is done for 12 psi and i said give me 15 psi and ten minutes later it was set and runs beautifully. best investment ever in my books.

i say stay with just the stock comp with a remapp..

as u said bang for buck and u can still make awweesum power..
