Harvey Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi all, does anyone know of a Japanese import company or a Japanese wrecker's yard who may be able to source ECU's? I'm seriously struggling on this front. I've got the QD32ETI engine but I can't source an ECU or wiring loom for it for a manual vehicle. As it stands the only company doing a stand-a-lone ECU for a diesel is Motec and at £3,500 i'd rather get rid of the engine i've bought and put a different model in as it's cheaper to do! But i don't want to do this if I can help it, hence my question here. Thanks all Harv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Why not just get a AFC unit, from Apex or HKS instead? Or go full stand-alone? You'll be spending probably close to the same amount for an OEM ECU and with an aftermarket unit you can tweak the figures, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 What do you mean by an 'AFC' unit? A stand alone unit costs in the uk around £3,500. A 2nd hand OEM costs around £175 on the upper side and £65 on the low side. For my race car I can justify the costs but on this project I can't. Though I must admit I haven't seen the costs of Apex or HKS so I'll check them out. To date i've just seen the prices of just GEMS, Emerald, Omex, Motech etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
