ECUtek or Alcatek
 

Right, I'm looking into mapping by hawk Wrx and I'm trying to decide which is the better option between the standard ECU with ECUtek or swapping it for an Alcatek unit. Question is which would be the better option for my money?

The Alcatek unit is tempting purely because of the compatibility with the Toucan, although the price difference between the initial ECUtek licence and the Alcatek unit would cover a Prosport gauge kit.

So any thoughts/comments?

Ta

ecutek it mate, unless your going forged, big turbo etc etc then no point. If you do then you start looking towards syvecs ;)

Really? The Alcatek unit isn't "that much" more than the ECUtek licence though.

what do they come in at?

Alcatek on andy forrest site is £980 mapped that double price of ecutek map

JGM has the listed at £550 for ECUtek and £895 for Alcatek.

you still have to buy the toucan as well anyway so will still bein same position. as before OTT for what you need mate

Yeah there is that. Shame really 'cus I quite like the Toucan.

What r the differences between the two ecus?

I have the toucan an it is a great bit of kit.i av just had the alcatek.an I am not sure I shd of had the syvecs now.but depends what ya after in the long run.you can run a lot more boost on the alcatek than the ecutek.so if ya after big figures alcatek

Any pics of the toucan fitted?

No,but I cud if u wanted to,just the senders for the gauges are extra so it does become quite exspensive

Alcatek ? Is it available for hawkeye yet ? Didn't think it was ready !

I don't think AlcaTek is for Hawkeye or DBW Subaru,what I know only SimTek Pro(SimTek 2) or Syvecs can be fitted or run on the DBW Subaru

Yes agree Toucan is great thing,we run Toucan with additional sensor pack and is worth it,if you are want have clean look

If you running Syvecs then I would get Syvecs Bluetooth module and use yours iPad or iPhone with this

Really I would speak with Tim@JTi,its really nice guy and really helpful and he will help you to decide what is best

Thanks,Jura

I think alcatek is almost ready jura ! Thought I had seen it on jollys website for hawkeye !

Aha,then this is awesome thing,but you need look on the EcuTek which offering on the DBW Subaru,I mean RaceROM,there you have great features like FFS(Flat Foot shifting),LC,Mafless,2 fuel maps and many more features


Thanks,Jura

That's where i was looking, doesn't make any reference to only being for non-dbw cars.

Think i'll end up going with ECUtek in the end, as much as i'd like a toucan i'm not sure I can justify the extra cost.
