Chris Bailey Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Pretty much what the title says, which is a good ecu apart from a syvecs and a motec which are both £££££. Edited July 9, 2012 by Chris Bailey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 a mines ecu would be ideal for BPU, I'm looking at one at the mo but I may just wait and get the syvecs with the single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Why do you want a stand alone ecu if you are on a budget, what's wrong with a BPU car on stock ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd not bother with a standalone on BPU - just run a 1 bar restrictor ring, boost controller to 1.2bar and make sure you have an AFR gauge and a good intercooler. Job done. Save for the right ECU, not the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Glad someone else suggested the mines, Tom's tec II is another option but they can be pretty rare. IMO I think a syvecs seems so over the top if you are just sticking with BPU and would just stick to keeping things simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Slippery slope Chris, just enjoy the BPU and leave as is unless you want to spend 1000's on upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Syvecs, Motec, Fcon, apexi, if you plan big power in the future however makes some sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Slippery slope Chris, just enjoy the BPU and leave as is unless you want to spend 1000's on upgrades I was just wondering if there was any differents, I suppose a mines ecu isnt such a bad idea if you know 100% your staying BPU. I think the mines ecu is a little better on fueling and raises the rev limiter to 8000rpm and delimites it. Thats all i know off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd not bother with a standalone on BPU - just run a 1 bar restrictor ring, boost controller to 1.2bar and make sure you have an AFR gauge and a good intercooler. Job done. Save for the right ECU, not the cheapest. Slippery slope Chris, just enjoy the BPU and leave as is unless you want to spend 1000's on upgrades These exact two points. If John is looking to run a better time at pod then he could try drag radials, 13.3 is a good time for a BPU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with mines ECU is it controls 440 injectors and you will run lean on high bhp BPU power if not careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Trouble with mines ECU is it controls 440 injectors and you will run lean on high bhp BPU power if not careful Yep, another good point! The injectors are close to running maximum duty at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nothing to do with the runs at pod mate we are both happy with the times and speed, It just seeing how much further you can go with BPU without going single.

You don't need a fcd either hence why I thought it was one of the better buys for people who are BPU as it takes care of a few things in one go, Get used to only filling up on tesco momentum and /or V-power though as they are all mapped to 100 ron octane.

Chris Bailey Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Abz has a good point if it's to beat his time, what 60ftw was he getting? 2.2 seconds - Its nothing to do with the runs. As i said to Abz we are both very happy with the times the car run. But theres not alot my dad can do with the car now because its full bpu and he dont want to go single.

Its not asif bpu if slow haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbloodyturbo Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yep, another good point! The injectors are close to running maximum duty at this point. It was my understanding they are at 100% duty cycle pretty much all the time at wot, even not at bpu levels. I also thought leaning out mixtures at wot, even at bpu level, can yield results. This is what I would assume the mines ecu would do rather than add yet more fuel, mine used to run 10:1 at bpu at wot at 1.2bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good buy for definite, but like Dean said it can run the 440 injectors on maximum duty, that's why each one I've found I've tried to find out exactly what was done to it by mines as they all seem to be different - - - Updated - - - Power is a drug, the meets make it worse, BPU is adequate but who wants to be adequate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop looking for sub 13 second 1/4's then, simple I have no money tree, I have just been there done it a few too many times :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
