Ok, now I know what you're all thinking "Alloytec aftermarket ECU? The unit in the car can be flashed!" or something along those lines.
Well, lets get to the point, I'm a ford guy, buying a Holden Gemini Panelvan. Planning on doing the V6 conversion. Now I know it's pretty straight forward with the ecotec, but it only has 130kw or something in that ball park.
The alloytec engine is much more appealing, with 180 odd kws at the flywheel. Getting it into the gemi means an after market ecu in my mind, as I dont want to try making a mess of a loom and trying to retain the factory ecu (although, this might end up being the way to go... Although I hope not...)
So, what can I do? Is there an ECU that's going to run this engine and it's variable cam timing without being overly expensive? Whatever it is I do plan on installing the ECU myself, so something with a pre-loaded tune on it for the engine would be muchly desiered. I thought I'd ask here as you guys would have the most knowlage when dealing with these engines.
Let me know, what are my options - Thanks, J.Coble.
