How much serious interest is there in a complete ECU replacement?
I definately am interested in a new ECU if it is in the price range of $400.00 to $700.00. I have a 2004 Z 5AT. I would also be interested in different stages depending on Mods. Would be nice if it was programable, but what ever I can get.
Thanks
Thanks

I still do not see how you can say the ECU is more complicated than the other OBD II computers nissan could still very inexpensivley enlarge the range of MAF, A/F, TIMING paramamiters easily allowing the computer not to re compinsate for mod's. The o2 sensors are an easy fix with the anti foulers. Go a head and put all that money into a full race ECU and see how many you sell , let alone the tuning and dyno time. Wasted effort ! Most all members of this forum are street guy's some with amature track time . Take a poll you will see there budget range.

We have sensors for Electronic Brake Force Distribution, ABS, VDC, Traction Control, etc that all have to work with the drive-by-wire throttle and variable valve timing, fuzzy logic A/F compensation, etc and probably a whole bunch of other sh*t we have no idea about. No mainstream production car before this generation's has had to process so much information.

Bull ! It is called a BUS system. The Z may have a few more features for the ECU to talk to , But all the latest models have that. The BUS system is no more than communication between dash, ABS, so on and so forth. Face it they built this vehical to go 200,000 miles. It is plainly a de-tuned ECU. As for the comment about mopar & there staged systems. They will not void warranty, and go figure a 245 hp stock SRT4 at the flywheel making over 300 at the wheels for $2000 in total parts. Not to mention they offer all the upgrades for the new hemi. Some stages are not emmissions friendly, but they do not throw the light.
I just had to re post. Iam not knocking there car . I love it, it is fantastic car ! But until we get a wider paramiter ECU for the average driving mods ie non full track. You are limited in what mods can be done with out ECU compansation. This is the most important issue to be adressed. it should be the first item done, when looking for HP & torque. You can re-tune certain parameters of an ECU , without going near the bus system communications . It will take a replacement ECU to do it .
Count me in as well...

$ = $500 - $750 Once this/these individuals create a "solid solution" they will have potentially HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of customers! This is a "fair & reasonable price".

Guys, if I don't get a response from the company on Monday, i'm going to have to call this thing off. I'm not sure if they weren't serious (even though they said they were) or if the customer rep. is trying to ask the owner of the company sometime. I have no idea, but I do know that they haven't replied after the first reply.
If anyone wants to take over this thing PM me and i'll tell you the company and give you the website.
Wait until Tuesday before you do that though.

I think someone called AEM and they told them that they had put it on hold...this is probably the third of fourth time this has happened so don't worry. AEM has more important projects...in their eye's at least (if only they realized the business they could get).

Guys, an update, I just sent them the last email. If I don't get a response by Thursday, I will be shooting the idea to another company. (not sure who yet, going to do some research)
