First off, I have a few ECU's for immediate sale.

$250 + $100 core charge for any of them. You pay me $350, I give you $100 back once I get an ECU back from you. I dont really care if you send me an ECU, because if you want to keep your OEM ECU thats fine with me, but I have to compensate for the ECU's that I spent money on.... I spent an average of $75 per ECU to buy them (some were more, some where a little less).

As it stands right now, I know have at least 2 TCS ECU's, im pretty sure the other ones are a mix between non TCS and TCS.

I promised a few ECU's to people already, so we'll see. I will update TOMORROW with more details in how many I have.

As far as more NICO ECUs, I am currently taking over the development/programming of NICO ECU's. They will be available at the same price. I just recieved all of Robert's equipment today, and I have a few more things to get before I can start doing more ECU's, but I will be able to take over exactly how robert did the ECU's.

I am guessing about a month or so before I can start again, which is good because it will give me time to stock up on spare ECU's again. So if you dont get in right now, dont worry because

the reason im doing the ECU's is because robert sold his Q a while ago. He had plans for it but he didnt want to spend the time to do it.

Rght now, im just trying to get rid of the extra's I have and get cores back (if applicable).

Alright, I confirmed and right now I have 5 ECU's ready to go.

If you want in, send me an email. Shipping is included in the US, outside the US I'll charge a reasonable amount to get it to you.

I will update once the others get back to me.

Lol that was fast.. but I'm not surprised. I'm so glad I was able to rescue mine from the accident.

If anyone has any hesitations about the $250, believe me its a bargain. I dare anyone to find 30hp and better gas milage for that price.

Wes, good news: it works in my new Q (1992) perfectly!! Thanks again buddy.

WHAT?! I don't believe I missed the ecu's again after not getting my daily dose of nico for a week (dadgum state auditors )

I was saving my$ just to get the first next batch. Either way I'm still ready just a day late instead of a day late and $ short!

Side effects may include:

*Uncontrolled urge to go fast

*Extreme desire to try out the new higher redline

*Curiosity to check if the speed limiter has, in fact, been removed

*Difficulty with bladder control upon WOT

*Need to buy a better radar detector/jammer

*And many other psychological side effects have been known to pop up.

Yeah, I think the one you got is only a 2 way. It doesnt have a switch on it though, you have to install that yourself, just splice on a simple on/off switch.

Wes, I have 3 ECU's in stock that I can get to you:

1 1990 ECU stock, non TCS1 1993 ECU stock, non TCS1 1993 ECU with the NICO first program from Robert.

THis is what I want from you:

2 1993 NICO ECU with multiple programs

Valet (limit RPM and speed) Stock Stage 1 (91 octane) Stage 2 (not sure what this one is) 93 Octane Drag Race Only (the one Rob had) JWT Nitrous (so it can control the nitrous blast)

You can keep the other one for a core.

I cant do nitrous, but everything else I can.

I *may* look into making a nitrous program for the Q since I can test it.

How easy is it to install these ECU's?

Benefits of a NICO ECU compared to a OEM?
