I had mine repaired and it was totally worth it...but the guy who did the repairs told me the ZR-1 ECMs come in two type - those that failed and those that are going to fail. He also said he has about a 2/3 success rate with repairs. So going with his logic, buy a "known good" ECM for $800 that will fail at some point, or roll the dice on a repair for under $400. You could easily be out $1200 trying to fix an ECM problem, and then STILL have a broken car. Megasquirt starts looking a lot better.

I agree with Jeff 2k is too harsh. It has more flexibility but the price point bugs me as well.

yes, we are paying for the R&D there as the LS megasquirt is 1200 or less with a plug and play harness.

the after market ECM capabilties that is opens up are pretty cool though.

the old ECM is the ZR-1 was a bit of a bastard child and very slow in processing power compared to the new stuff.

the MS without the wiring is only a few hundred bucks.

I'd like to try it JUST controlling the secondaries with a modified memcal and I think that would work pretty cool!

LPE did that on the TT cars very successfully with the aussie LINC stuff.

Graham, you out there!
