how much?
 

Gonna have a 2005 ecu for sale at end of the month which has been mapped by simon (jolly green monster) running 430bhp on v power. Just wondering what a fair price would be
Thanks

anyone?

The same as the ECU would fetch second hand.

Sorry CraigyP but it's difficult to respond without appearing to be erm..... awkward.

It doesn't matter what the ECU is mapped for, it has to be programmed to get the best out of the machinery it controls.

So, if it isn't put into a 2005 machine that is capable of 430bhp and runs on V-power then it won't produce results.

The worrying thing is that if it IS put into a machine that isn't capable of 430 and/or isn't fuelled by V-power then it will blow the engine apart.

What ECU is it - EcuTek by any chance?
Then - is it a UK or JDM car that's the donor?

An EcuTek and it's useful for anyone who has blown a chip.
Anything else (Syvecs, Alcatek) and it's potentially a useful upgrade.

But the buyer will still have to map it to their car.

In short, that chip isn't an instant upgrade, which would be its ultimate appeal and get the best price.

yeah is ecutek and I know it will have to be re mapped for the new owner. selling it as it will be just sat around in my house.all im asking is what is a sh ecu worth?

I'll give you a curly wurly and a bag of wotsits.:D

deal :-) lol

One selling point is that it already has an EcuTek licence, so saves a buyer the one-off Licence Fee (worth a bit in itself I suppose).

However, it's the actual chip that needs to be valued, so you need to identify it.

To be honest I spent 10 mins looking around the Net and I'm not much wiser.

If Simon mapped it he's probably a good person to ask for details of the chip, since I assume it will be on his customer records.

its just a standard ecu out of a 05 sti

I got £100 for my old Ecu from a 03 STI UK with Ecutek license if that helps

thanks mate. thats all I wanted to know :-)

There you go, get an EcuTek licence and there's money in it.

GLWTS.

cheers buddy will be for sale end of july
