I plan on using this ecu for a sr20det swapped 240sx with the following modifications:

Z32 MAF
S15 turbo (gt28r ballbearing) 20psi max
550cc sidefeed injectors
Front mount intercooler
Greddy intake manifold with s13 60mm throttle body
silkroad exhaust manifold
3" o2 elbow
3" downpipe
3" catalytic converter
3" non resrictive catback exhaust
ngk iridium spark plugs
Brian Crower stage 2 camshafts

That is the list of the planned mods I sent him. He says to include everything done to the motor so i figure he has to be able to do some theoretical tuning if he even asks for it. I wrote a few guys that bought his stuff on ebay and am awaiting resposes to see how it did. I did get one response, here it is: Well, first he (Jason is who i worked with) is a very reliable and knowledgable seller. He knows his crap about tuning. Sounds like he has a tuning shop in Cali somewhere and they do Nissan and Mitsu all day. The ecu worked good for a couple weeks then it started getting funky and the car was going into limp mode. I had a race event coming up very shortly after this happened and Jason sent me a new daughter board with new chips (priority) on it to see if that would resolve the problem for free! Well, sad to say it didnt fix the problem. I had to restart my car every time it would get stupid and it would sometimes fix it. I sent the entire ecu and 2 daughterboards back to him again this last monday and he found that one of the pins was loose. Solder gave way or something, but he fixed it, again no charge. It should be here on monday and hopefully everything runs good. The ecu does make a difference after the tune. Makes much better low end power and high end definitely pulls harder. Car does run a tad richer than normal, go figure. Its a performance tune. It have a redtop, with fmic, 255 lph fuel pump, stock t-25 at 15 psi, stock injectors, atmospheric bov, header,and 93 octane. He tunes individually for all this crap. Little bit more timing cause of the 93 octane and makes it so car doesnt have rich condition between shifts. Speed limiter is also gone. Rev limiter is at 7500. The soldering mishap was a simple mistake. The ecu does really make a performance difference and Jason is very trustworthy and very helpfull if you have problems, obviously. I believe i paid around $120-130 for mine. Depending on the tune and where you live, costs will probly differ a little. I had a 16 bit ecu and needed the daughterboard with 2 chips. I sent it to him to solder it all up for me. He did say prices were going up soon when i purchased it from him though. I would say if you are running the stock turbo, do it. If you have a different turbo, you probly want a dyno tune.

hopefully street240 can get some good info. sounds pretty good though, so who's first to try in for all of Zilvia.net??
