djspawn00 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 What kind of mods are you looking into? A lot of people with basic mod's tend to go with the Apexi Neo AFC from what I've seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twijr1 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i was looking at programmers but i dont know what to buy and suggestions?? for what its worth, i recommend the swift racing tech (srt) high flow intake and race ecu. look to pay about $600. i have one on my 02gs300 and love it. easy install with noticeable performance increase. you will hear it, but its not too bad.

evil00017 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The SRT intake and chip is fine if all you want to do is have a intake with some tuning for the intake. If you plan on adding other things such as exhaust and headers the Neo is far superior because you can get it tuned for your whole setup as opposed to just having a tuned for a intake.

sakataj Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 no s@#$, that's why their sold together well the OP asked about a programmer....and since you apparently aren't all that bright....the SRT ecu ISN'T a programmer! its just a ecu made to use with the intake....IT IS NOT NOR WILL EVER BE A PROGRAMMER!

smooth1 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i was looking at programmers but i dont know what to buy and suggestions?? It's all going to depend on what your looking to do with the motor. If your thinking forced induction, ie. turbo or supercharger, then AEM and Haltech are going to be your best bets. They both have a good support network and alot of tuning shops are familiar with their setups and maps for tuning. even the PB AEM (which I used on my IS 300 when I put the turbo on was excellent. Idle was perfect, and the ECU take over was almost seemless, but not perfect. If you run a full stand alone then it's perfect, but the stand alone can get pricey. I don't know if you know or will be doing your own tuning or if you have a shop your using. But typically, if your installing a turbo or sc, then I would just have them do the ecu work as well. And let them install the ECU they are familiar with for tuning. I've had some experience with Unichip and Super Chips. But those are different piggy back platforms than what I was talking about with AEM and Haltech. If your not going fi, then I wouldn't really bother with this, and djspawns suggestion of the Apexi Neo is a great idea. It's more of a monitoring system than a programmer, but it's much better than nothing at all. And the SRT suggestion is also a good alternative, as it does alter the AF settings somewhat to accomadate the intake set up they have, but it isn't adjustable for any other mods you may be looking at, not that I actually think you need to if all your going to do is exhaust and intake anyway. And if your looking for a handheld ECU programmer that you just hook into your ODB II port and download altered settings like say on a Ford, to my knowledge, they don't exsist for Toyota, Nissan, Honda and the likes.
