andlid Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I contacted Abbey Motorsport about an aftermarket ECU for the Z. They are trying to push the HKS F-Con at the moment. The final cost that they quoted me was well over £3k, Ive still got the quote that they sent somewhere so ill try and dig it out. My car was dynoed a few months back & made just above standard power figures & well below standard TQ figures - this was with filter,plenum,exhaust,y-pipe&cats. I was having a few problems with the cats at the time though so im hoping that now I have my new cats in my torque will return. To get the most out of N/A mods you really need an aftermarket ECU installed but at the price from Abbey + the cost of mods I would have been better off installing a supercharger. we are now supplying the Haltech plug and play - more features than the F Con, and, less money haltech: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?mode ... rodid=2843 or, there is the utec too, which works well for NA mods, and for forced induction up around 500 hp. I have the UTEC in my full NA car, and its worked great, though I am now upgrading to the Haltech in the coming weeks utec: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?mode ... rodid=1602 and of course, both are in stock Maybe you can answer if that ECU gets rid of the speed limiter on a JPY import?

Because the HKS is only £175 compared to £1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Because the HKS is only £175 compared to £1k ... but if you are going to spend 1k why spend an extra 175 if you dont need to.. catch what I'm trying to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 ... but if you are going to spend 1k why spend an extra 175 if you dont need to.. catch what I'm trying to say? why pay 1K+ to remove the limiter when it can be done for £175?? If you are only after removing the limiter then the Haltech won't be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are only after removing the limiter then the Haltech won't be needed. I'm getting Haltech either way, was wondering if it removes the speed limitation. if it doesnt I'd buy both. see?

Adam@Z1auto.com Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I don't believe the Haltch affects the speed limiter at all but have never really examined it, as US cars are limited to 155 as I recall...more than enough for most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Same in Europe Adam. Japanese imports are limited to 112MPH though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N o need to loose the license any quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
