Just bought a buddyclub ecu for my rev1 n/a and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with them???

Fitted it this week and it doesn't work on my rev1 car

it's for rev2 only

Have you installed the ECU?

mikee66 · 08-23-2006, 06:48 AM

Not as yet mate, Awaiting it's delivery. However i have spoken with buddyclub Usa and it's legit and it's a fellow owners club member that had it on his n/a

How much do those go for?
What is it supposed to do?

I confess, I have never heard of them. I thought they were VTEC controllers, not stand-alone EMSes, or even a piggyback. Do you have a link?

When you get it I'd like to know how it perform's on your N/A.

Hey folks,

I'm getting it from a fellow mr2 owner who is breaking his car! He noticed a clear diff with it. I'm led to believe it's based on the tech tom 3

It'll be here tommorrow so i will report back with my opinion!

It's based on a rechip? I seriously doubt it.

Beware of people that say, "I noticed a difference." People will psychosomatically justify large purchases this way. For someone's apathetic buddy to say the same thing holds more weight, and for a dyno to say so is the ultimate proof.
