Search, come up with a decision. Stick with it. BTW, the name is very gay...

Run a stock ecu until you change your setup then get enthalpy or otherwise. Stock SR20DET ecu will be fine for stock, then when u upgrade then worry about tuning.

Why dont you run the stock ECU if you are going to have a stock engine?

If you are gonna have a modified engine then get NisTune and call it a day.Anytime you upgrade just update.

By the smell of things this engine will be stock for a while....so just run the stock ECU with if needed an EPROM.

P.S That username is just IDK.....i dont even know how to properly express my unlikingness of it

the engine will have the basic bolt ons as soon as it goes in (exh. mani., down pipe, test pipe, catback, FMIC i want to get a z32 MAF and intake kit thats the one idk about since that would be putting more air into the engine will the stock ecu work with the z32 MAF im pretty sure it will run a little rough with the stock ecu but correct me if im wrong..and i dont care if people dont like the name so leave it out of the thread and comments

Just commenting on the name not you buddy, lets not get all offended now.If you are going to run a Z32 maf then get the ECU reprogrammed for the Z32 maf. Search the vendors around the border of the page, most of them have ecu tuning or reprogramming services.

Stock except for the Z32 MAFS?Just get an SAFC and program it to use Z32 in - SR out.Finished.

Better yet, get the Stock ECU with an EPROM for the Z32.It doesnt look like you are doing anything amazing with the engine, so no need to go splurging on the ECU when a stock one will handle the job just fine.

Ignoring that all, the name is silly, and reading it is annoying.Im having a very hard time taking anything you say seriously.Ask one of the mods to change it, even if you change it to something like Sweaty_B itll be much better than what it is right now.IMO.
