I agree the SARD ECU results at 10PSI are a little disappointing but the results for the Mines ECU are quite good to be honest
- he gained 13 WHP running at the same 16PSI boost level.
That's not something easily achieved even with a tuneable ECU.
I think these ECUs have their place for squeezing out a little more power
on a car still running standard injectors without the hassle of having to get it mapped.
The rev 3+ ones also respond really well to increases in fuel octane without needing to change the map as
(like the stock ECU) it adjusts the amount of ignition advance based on feedback from the knock sensor.
This wouldn't happen on say a power FC.
I thought my previous Blitz ECU was great
- running a generic CT20b map it even beat my dedicated Power FC map for peak power
- 314WHP vs 308WHP at 18PSI and that was mapped on the same morning and the same tank of fuel too.
On top of this my car was running an ATS TD06 turbo rather than the stock turbo the Blitz was mapped for.
If you aren't going to upgrade the injectors then they can be a pretty decent addition
- so long as you make sure you have a wideband device+logger installed and can check the car isn't running dangerously lean.
