Here's that PFC I mentioned.

As well as being a very capable performance ECU, it also retains streetable features that a lot of "high-end" race ecu's do away with, such as air-con idle up.

Nice, although I do not have air-con. Was removed for more piping/hoses :P Will look into it.

About my last post, you know what I mean in the context of the post. I know that specific part was worded poorly. Just dont think I need anything more fancy for the few average tracks perth has. If we had much bigger and better tracks then Ild use the car much more for motorsports and perhaps go for the motec etc.

Tracks =/= tuning ability.

When buying an ecu, I would look for what resolution it can provide, what fail safes can be implemented say in the case of you having low oil pressure, coolant temp etc etc.

If you were tuning an engine would you like to be able to specify the 'goal' points every 2,000rpm or every 100rpm? Think of it like plotting a graph. One would be very lumpy and have no valid data between points. The other would be silky smooth like a supermodel.

My suggestion as always is find your tuner first and get the ECU they recommend. No point rocking up with a Pectel as it is the best ecu in the world and no one knows how to tune it properly. However, do your own research on the ECU as some places may flog off the item with the most profit. The best way to see the ECU the tuner likes, see what ECU they run in their cars.

Fyi, I have just put a PowerFC in my MY98. I want a Motec and will replace it eventually, but the PowerFC is a great product and can be had at a great price.

how many time have you been around Barbs?

Yea cheers for that. I was going by the recommendation of Leigh from RMS as he says he's pretty good with the new Links and has done a fair few. He said the difference between what he can get out of a link g4 and a motec is only a 1-3%. Plus theyve done about 99% of the work to the car so they know it pretty well and what ouput they can achieve.
