I'm still deciding which mods to go for, and I was a bit suprised to find that most of the ECUs out there (JWT etc) aren't reprogrammable. I don't know why, but I just thought that they would be tuned to each individual car.

 

So - I'm wondering if a Dastek Unichip would be better? Any experiences good or bad?

 

Also, does anyone know if it works with Boost controllers and afcs? I was thinking of going for the SBC-ID 2 or 3, with the powermeter thing and maybe (if it's worth it) an Apexi AFC.

 

Currently there's just a HKS Superdragger on my 91 Manual TT, so I was also going to add an induction kit and a decent clutch/flywheel. Does this sound like a good route to take? :confused: Oh - and some extra gauges as well. And a wing :p

 

All advice appreciated.

 

Now all I need to do is get my old car sold to pay for all of this and cover the huge insurance premium :)

I've heard Dastek's Unichips are excellent -but you need a rolling road to really make the most of them and set them up correctly or at all.

I've heard they are not so excellent, they are not very good at coping with bigger injectors unless you have the gold version.

 

Greddy Emanage is a better cheaper way to go IMO.

I'm using this: http://xtronics.com/memory/romutator.htm

 

with the info here: http://ecu.ztechz.net/

 

and a few runs on a rolling road to optimize the the maps for your car/setup.

Jezz - Just read a few bits on the Greddy E-Manage setup. Would I need to get to a Greddy dealer (with a rolling road) to get this set up correctly? The Greddy website seems to say that a lot of the features are locked out unless you are a dealer/tuner. Is it a lot cheaper than the Unichip? The Unichip seems to go for around £440 with setup, the only prices I could find for the Greddy suggested around USD $400 (£275) without setup for the E-manage and a couple of the basic harnesses.

 

Lymon - All the info on doing my own chips makes sense, but I don't think I'd be confident enough to go for it myself (this is my daily drive, I wouldn't want to break it through my own stupidity:D ). If I ever get to the stage where I have a second Z that I can mess about with then I'd probably go that route.

the emanage is quite popular, I'd ahve thought any rolling road that regualarly did jap stuff could do it.

 

SCA in Norwich can do it, and my mate Jez could do it though he does all his mapping on the road.

 

I think you can get the emanage for about £280 with software and harness etc if you look in hte right places.

The Zemulator will be available shortly, will post prices when I have stock.

Do you know what spec PC is going to be required to run the Zemulator? I've got an old Toshiba Libretto (tiny little 7.1" widescreen laptop) with a P166 MMX and 32MB RAM that would look pretty cool in the Z.

 

What are the Pros/Cons of the Zemulator over a Greddy e-01 and e-manage?
