how's the Microtec EMC go? did it make much of a difference in power and fuel comsumption? i'm about to get one in the next month or so.

you recon it's worth the money?

[chrisellis]

for your gze? or something else;
personally id stick with standard engine management if possible (it depends on what the car is for man), but if u want more power then yes this will give it to you. Fuel, well couldnt tell you, id say no casue ud be more inclined to get stuck into it. Microtech's in gereral are great at full throttle, but cruising at low rpm's are not so smooth as standard.
But they certinally let u have more power and allow future changes to engine that sticking with the standard ecu will not allow.
Good for getting more power, worth the money, but if ur just using it on a daily driver, that rarely sees the track, i dont think id do it, unless u have engine mods planned that require it.

sounds good dude
have you still got the standard ecu and stuff??

[chrisellis]

no standard ecu is gone.

also bit of an update, the car will be stipped as of this weekend to begin the painting prep. undecided on acryllic or 2pack, possibly 2pack as it wont cost much more, but i dunno if the car will last as long as the paint anyway, lol.

[garage_kook01]

go 2 pack man its alot better


i will be as soon as my engine is in and running

[sic86]

What colour are you looking a spraying it??

Cheers
