Not necessarily. The standard ECU is very good, however, where it falls down is going to larger turbo's and the consequent fitment of larger injectors.Its a bit pointless when you can achieve so much with the factory ECU
I am running ls3 truck coils on my car with the standard ecu. 6Scott, the Vipec's are fully optioned Links.
Rob, there are reasons for going aftermarket, like having 6 coil outputs rather than 3 for example.
There's only 3 ignition outputs on the stock ecu. If you have 6 coils, you'll be firing two of them at once unless you have some extra hardware to combine the cam signal and the three ignition signals into 6 ignition signals.I am running ls3 truck coils on my car with the standard ecu. 6
Coils not 3.
Yes Haltech would be my choice. I am considering it for my Silver Leggy. I have a Haltech for my track car ready to go in. PS2000
Yes the LScoil is a pretty good option. I certain commodore coil in my RB engine through a CDI- flawless
