engine management

im looking at getting a new engine managment system im looking at gotech or dicktator which is the best for a CA18DET the gotech looks like its got more features but would like to hear your guys oppinion

Depends on if your car will be used as a daily drive or a weekend car.

If daily then dicktator is not your best bet. Go-tech Ive heard has some more feutures but I dont kow much about them.

My suggestion would be Apexi.....cant go wrong! Expensive but worth it. Save your money and do it right. You can get a secondhand unit for a good price and its plug and play!

ja its a day to day but budge is tight

Then rather keep it stock till you have the cash for a decent system.

It all depends on the tuner, my tuner uses dicktator and tuned his dayly V8 bakiie to give him 8km p/l, he has no probs, it all comes down to the installer and tuner..

Nistune! Affordable and perfect!

Stock ECU's are always better cause they have all the protection features when things go wrong even with a UniQ or software upgrade, but on the downside they can be expensive when something pops, Air Flow Meter, Map Sensor, TPS, etc.

So only look at installing a Full Stand Alone if there is no other way out.
Not sure about your guys Stock ECU's but you might loose sequential fueling which makes a big difference on fuel consumption and low down torque.
