need help with ecu choices

Post by sweetguth »

Hey chaps,

I am putting an EJ 2.5 in a manx clone and going to run N/A. I figure the 165 HP will be a nice peppy ride for the street but I think the turbo version would just be too much for such a lightweight car..

Anyhow, I am trying to figure out what ECU to go with. It would be nice to have some room to tune down the road after additional mods are made. I am not super technical when it comes to electronics so I wanted to find something user friendly. Can you gents please help recommend a decent stand alone?

I don't mind paying for the installation and initial tuning, but I would like to be able to tweek as I go. Is there a decent simple after market ECU out there or at least one that is popular enough that I could find a tuning shop to assist with the install?

Thanks for any help.

I live in Houston now. Someone told me about a shop called "power fab autos". I think they may work with MS systems.
