as title says, after i have the money (tax time
 ) im going to be sending my wiring out to tweak and them to do my conversion(7afe to 2nd gen 3sgte). and if a few years when i have the money again and of course the wife lets me ill put some upgrades into the motor (power goal is 350-400 at wheels which is more then 90% of the cars where i live so ill be happy with it  )my question is which plug and play ecus will plug right into the harness and which ones are you guys using. reviews on the ones being used would be great a lot and if possible some numbers to match (reason for the numbers is id not only like to know the reviews and opinions but also that the product is working with the hp ur at) please also include any problems you have had with the product |

mrcontrol did a power primer for the 3sgte its old but it works from what i understand. im not sure what gen of the gte it was ment for or if it was a build up for a general idea on all gens of the motor.
the principle for building them (2nd gen vs 3rd gen) is ideally the same. ive also been looking thru the build up and dyno posts on http://www.mr2ownersclub.com/mr2records/dyno3.htm theres quite a few of them that stayed with their 2nd gen motor. so my guess is the same as yours, power output after a certain point is the same. also from what i am understanding from the reads ive done on the 2nd gen vs 3rd gen debate, most choose the 3rd gen for the better turbo, better ecu, and the W2A IC but at least IMHO at 350-400 doesnt matter which gen motor u have, u need to start changing out major parts anyways and drop major money. so at least for me a 900$ 3sgte vs a 1200+$ motor when getting to 400hp+ id choose the 900$ again. my plans for the car as it sits now is just to get it running. im doing this research now to just to get it out of the way now and not have to do it later. thanks for the replys so far keep the info coming |
