Yes i found it very good, i dont think it was faster straight line thinking about it but on the corners the extra RPM was handy.... nice smoother delivery through the rev range too, but outright dragging speed think might have been less...

Pulled very well though and is enjoyable.....
 
I don't understand the full in's and out's, but I have never understood why people buy these expensive pre mapped ECU.

Rather get a fully mappable one mapped to my car.

cheaper, less effort, convenience
 
Convenience I guess I can understand.

Going by the ECU's for 4EFTE though, them JAM/Blitz etc were stupid money. Could purchase an E-Manage and get it mapped for cheaper or around the same price.

How much are the SPOON ECU's?
 
they normally go for around £300-£350.....

For the person out there that doesnt want the upmost from there car without the hassle of mapping/ fitting etc etc these ECU's are ideal..... Depending on what you want from the car and how where you want the performance to be...

If building a car up i would only use Standalone, thats why im running Motec on my starlet.
 
yeah i sold mine, really needed the money at the time, and because the change of plan to keep my car pretty stock and build the starlet for now......


Would love to go K20, If only i was minted :(

I had a JAM ecu on my old glanza and thought it was one of the best buys for the car despite the price. Totally transformed the car! Got a spoon ecu for my ek9 not long ago and it seems really good too!

For some people like myself, there are no reputable tuners around and also the cost off a rr session here costs more than the management itself...
