if the tuner is capable of mapping the origional system and it can cope i dont see the point of changing managment more important is a correctly speccd engine imo

both made around 600bhp mark - seems simular to me.

Torque is down to cam choice and mapping tho, and not down to the management surely.

As the secs is new and porkies is only one i know that is kinda mapped on it, then it was a fair comparision to the autronic used in rods.

If you all want to gang up on me just cause i asked a few questions then fine...

Lot of fast cars out there don't use autronic also.

RANJ,
The ECU does NOT dictate the power gained from an engine.
It is the build of the engine and the ability of the mapper to get the best.

Aftermarket ECU's just provide a user friendly and available to all way of
making these adjustments and allow finer tuning than the originals.

simular means is simular, not the same ranj.

As its OZ'y product, do many fast cars over there use it, like the rigoli brothers etc ?

Sorry mate... thats just SAD Rods is a stroker engine... over 2.0 litres and MASSIVELY more expensive than my engine. My engine has VASTLY different power characteristics and delivery than Rods... my engine is still coming stronger and stronger over 7500rpm. Surely you realise that?

If you think that Autronic management gives Rod the 100lbft Torque extra then you know less about engines than me

AND my engine made over 450lbft so you are 'Torquing' COMPLETE bollox as well

NOT taking ANYTHING away from Rods engine though. He loves huge torque engines and Mark has clearly delivered You can't argue with the results either and the fact that it gets used daily

Your right there ranj they are different, porkies car will maybe not do 200mph, and is a diff spec, but it laps circuits at an unbleviable pace.

How ever they still made about 600bhp, and one is half the price of the other, no one yet has really said why you should pay more for the product.

RS Gus I can map any Ecu someone has got in to with writeable software however I choose not to, Being the UK Importer for Autronic it is against my interest to map other Ecu's, Also the Ford market is tiny for me for Autronic I do far more other cars with these units,
As for comparing Ecu's I belive just like Simon that the diff Ecu's we sell are some of the best out there.

Yum, they still made simular power, which is what i said.

Regards less of engine spec.

Whats the limitations of the half price system over the autronic....

How does this compare to teh GEMS or the Motec....

Not comparing Pectel as thats probably not gonna be around soon

ranj any tuner ya go to will recomend what he prefers as thats the best option for him and you ( but i know ya know that already)

pul hills prefers pectel as he knows it well


what i dont understand tbh is why sunny removed his pectel to autronic, surely there the same for use


nit a dig but i always wondered that, doe that mean that pectel wpuld not be efficiant for the high speed runs the mad man likes ( and 178 takes real fooking balls in a nurses car )


it proved autronic is good though so

just as simons has too


then quite right what gus has said, cossie management works well too, just its not really designed for people to play with it and ya dont get the support i would guess


tbh id rather get SEC's but thats cause hes a ford fan and think just like we all prefer our tuners ect that we know think we should support the fan of our brand or cars

unless he makes a real good ecu then forgets his routes and charges what he feels


but simon has made a perfect ecu for alot of ford people at a fooking wicked price


simon fair play to ya


i payed alot for a management system thats welllllllllll out of date now as the aftermarket game is getting advanced soooooooo quick

thats the only thing thatb autronic is gonna have is the good ideas first , like the new stuff comming out

Good answer ranj from someone who doesn't actually know the answer...

I would choose the secs over the autronic on a simple price issue, as no one on here as said any reason why you would pay more than double for an ecu that doesn't do anything else, except maybe requires and auto electrician to install it.

I still aint trying to fall out with anyone here.....

Simple q really like a GRP A and an Escort cossie head gasket....paymore for less etc...
