Rally ECU????

[Alboy]

Hi,

I have just joined and wanted to say a quick hello to you all.

Currently myself and a friend are looking to purchase a track car and it looks like a VTS tops the bill.

I was wondering if anyone had any good advice for us while we are looking in the big bad world?

We are due to visit a private seller tomorrow night, the car looks ok on the ad but all will be told with an in the flesh viewing.

One thing I think you may be able to help me with is this:
The guy says the VTS engine fitted to the VTR shell has a "Rally" ECU.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these or different ECU's and what kind of gains can be had.

Here is a pic of said ECU

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated

Sorry for posting in a few sections, just wanted to catch the two groups of members :)

Thanks
Alex

Good detective work!

Going to look at it tonight.

Doesnt mention any names when specing it so will have to ask tonight.

Why would you put an 8v rallye ECU on J4 engined car?
Unless they actually mean those group N rally ecus (correct me if thats not the right term)?

me to..its just a standard ecu.. Yer it can be mapped but thair is no point really for what it would cost and any gains it may produce...
