What stand alone ECU under 1000

I'm trying to finde a good stand alone that not over 1100.
Can you guys help I was looking for my 01 taco 3.4 saw this
AEM Infinity 358 Standalone ECU - 30-7114

 

... why?

Most go megasquirt, but that whole industry is being squeezed pretty hard by the EPA.

 

Save up some money and get a Haltech 750. Same question though, why?

 

I add a turbo kit

 

Well this be good to start out with for now or just deal rough start up till haltec

 

Definitely don't get an AEM, the company was acquired by Holley and its ECU division is dead. I cannot comment on the ECU Master, I don't know anyone who tunes that platform or uses it personally. Haltech Elite 750 is like $1100 and a patch harness is $580 from Boomslang, that would be my vote.

 

Oh wow I didn't know that, okay thanks

 

Alright last question if use squirt till I get haltec what squirt should I go with it will be under 1100. Thanks

 

I wouldn't mess with a half-assed solution or a stepped process, you're just throwing money away. Do you even have upgraded injectors and fuel pump to need an ECU/piggyback? You've done this backwards
MS3 is $700 and with all the time you're going to spend wiring....

Maybe @ZColorado can chime back in. Idk of anyone on here running a MS but doesn't mean there's not

 

Now that you said that make me think that y it's tough getting it started . So I guessing that would make big difference starting?

 

Dear god this thing won't even make it through a tuning session. Stock PCV system with a catch can? Maf sensor isn't even plugged in. Zip tie and glue for vacuum lines? Also that's a fucking massive turbo for a tiny 3.4l that things gonna take forever to spool. The MAF sensor isn't in a good spot and probably won't read the best. I don't want to be mean its cool I just don't want you to go try to get it tuned and A) get it tuned with a bunch of problems or B) get sent away for issues. I would start with fixing the PCV system and pressure testing the cold side and make sure it holds above your boost level.

 

This process usually works because the tuner you use has a brand they like. You should not just buy an ECU and expect it to work. There is a great deal of specialized knowledge and testing and changing to get right.

Find a tuner, and ask them. We are not the right group to ask.

 

So you're having difficulty starting on an otherwise stock system minus the turbo system?

The picture you posted... is that how it currently sits?

 

You're right but he already did it so no need to be a dick


My question is why is his BOV attached to the fuel pressure regulator

 

It was how cx one was set up. I kinda question it but I'm not sure

 

We need a lot more info to help you

 

This!

 

I went by this n lil by YouTube. I can get lil better pic marrow after work . If after market fuel pump injectors will help run better till I get good stand alone I'm open.
The only problem really having at the moment is it lil hard to start.

So I saw something say the line going to the bov should be t into 1 or 2. I was also told leave the top of waste gate free wouldn't that be the same for bov or no.
But everything dose run good just getting it started lil blah.
