    Default Options on a 215i senator

    Hi Guys,
    after some opinions or knowledge on a 215i senator ( 5.7l stroked )
    the computer seems to be farked and am looking into a aftermarket computer of some sort, what would be the best for this car and who would be the best to tune in sydney ( supply fit and tune )

    car has extractors, and thats all.... no more mods planned ie: cams etc.....

    any advice appreciated, thanks

    You would be better off getting another genuine ECU and tuning that, they are more than capable of handling just about anything. The price of an aftermarket one would be more than a Delco and a tune put together I think.

    Find a second hand unit. Any VS V8 ECU will do as long as it is the same transmission. Then just get it tuned.

    I'd stick with the stock delco ECU. They are very flexible when it comes to tuning. Check out delcohacking.net • Index page
