Jordk Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've been looking at ecu's to run my project Glanza on. A friend of mine suggested the dastek as he's running 360bhp with a td05 on one of these. Also my daily drive is running a dastek (stock engine ct9 hybrid 210bhp). I'm planning on running a gt28 and aiming for power around 350+. How reliable are dastek piggybacks when running high power? I know a lot of people move on to standalone with better results. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I dont think they are widely used on starlets, most folk just go for emb/emu, but the dastek seems to be russ at dalgety bay weapon of choice haha. As you said though, you can get big power from them, like mark1991's figure !! Speak to whoever is gonna be mapping it, they all have their preferred ecu. They'll know how to get the most out of it.

russ78 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I know of quite a few starlets using dastek unichips with really good results I intend on using one myself,but if your looking for 350bhp I would only look at standalones anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 im ditching piggyback and going omex standalone for 300bhp plus.. on a td05..if i was you mate, standalone for that power..and find a decent tuner and listen to what they suggest.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 It's not the ecu that will make the power it's the man that maps it!I've said it time and time again chosse your tuner then go with what he is happiest mapping then you will get the best results. If you have someone local that likes the unichip and knows it inside out then that would be the best thing to go for as you will get a better map/tune on that than you will giving your chosen tuner something that they are not familar with. by the way before Dave Burwash found Matt at AFR and started using the F-con v-pro he did several builds back in the day close to 300hp all running a unchip as that was what the local guy understood and worked best with.
