Yeah, what's the story with these? I have seen lots of people running them, and have read about different versions, but no real answer as to who is making them, how often, and how much? I'd also love to hear the specs on what all is changed in them if it's not top secret! Jack

I think the big hold up with Wes is making the switcher model functional. There are some bugs with the switching board I think. IMO he should offer single program units. Multi programs are nice but not really necessary. Even a two program unit is pretty easy but he's trying to do 4+ program units I think.

the 4 way switchers arent my problem, its the 94s. The 4 way boards are already made from a company (cant remember off hand), the 94 ones are custom. The plan was to make it so everyone could have one at once..

I am real happy with my 91 octane program that still sees the KS. I can drive anywhere in the US (even CA and AZ) and not worry the fuel will not be up to snuff. Some safety is a good thing.

Just in case someone doesn't want to wait, here's a JWT (Jim Wolf Technologies) modified ECU on Ebay. Buy It Now price is $150 with free shipping. I'm not sure how it compares to the NICO ECU but for $150 it will tide you over until the NICO ECU's are ready.

EDIT: I just noticed it's listed by our friend and former Q owner Kniknave.

Ben- When are you going to come down the hill and show off that new Q?

Just to let everyone know I am planning on doing the ECU's again real soon.. Shane is going to help me iron out the difficulties with the 94-95 ECU and I'll probably just offer 2 ways since it will eliminate the equipment I have to buy.

****. I paid $250 for my NICO one last year. I'd hate to insinuate treachery, but did I get hosed?

No you paid the same price that everyone else did besides those who were in like the 1st or 2nd run way back in the day.

Is your ECU from a 94? If it is, please email me, i need you to do me a favor.
