Aftermarket ECU for 7M-GTE

[jdmsuprarhd]

I have been looking for a aftermarket ecu for my 7M-GTE and cannot find one. If you guys have any answers for me please reply thanks.

Standalone, custom install unfortunately. There is also the Techtom upgrade which is the closest to off the shelf available from a couple of limited sources, but still requires tuning.

Why aftermarket? All the high power 7M's are being made off of VPC/S-AFC combos, not aftermarket computers.

thank you guys for the help.

Where can I purchase a APC?

[Jeeves]

APC? APC Is a parts company. I assume you mean AFC. eBay.com has a good deal of 'em for cheap, but you can get the S-AFC 2's new just about any place online that deals with Apexi stuff too.

what about a vpc

[Toysrme]

Try and SMT-5, 6 or 7.
Kicks the piss out of any AFC, or upgraded e-manage and is in the same price range. ($300 or less)
Their feature set is huge compaired to the more 'traditional" acf upgrades.

Only way to go if you've ruled out a new ECU.

what company makes that

[Jeeves]

Perfect Power makes the SMT line. However, I'm a little confused how you think it's in the right range... the SMT's base price is $545 which includes it, the manual, and software. If you have a DEALER install and do a base tune, it's $945. Nevermind the cost of the othere little add-on units they sell. S-AFC's are cheap, have been proven reliable, etc. As for the VPC, for the cost of the S-AFC and VPC combined, I would cost roughly the same as the BASE SMT6 package. Nevermind the cost of the SMT7.

I see very little reason to go that method over the ones that everyone knows make good power.

Okay thank you very much.

As with any piggyback fuel computer, you will need dyno access with a WB or your own WB 02 setup to be able to safely do any tuning.
