Hi... My car is in for a brand new block/head and everythimg else new build, forged at SRD tuning. Don't ask why. All will be told soon🥲 .

Options are...

Standard rebuilt turbo... Ecutek... 360-380 bhp with my mods.

Artec turbo & Ecutek... 380+ 🤷.. But more tricky. 🤷

Artec turbo and syvecs... Costly but 420+

For those with the artec turbo and Ecutek, how do you find it? Does it make the Power and boost fine? Or does the standard ecu back it off and restrict it? Any info would be great as I need to decide real soon. I'm guessing those with the artec and syvecs are loving it?

Thanks for any info. 👍

I may be a bit biased…
If you want to go with big power, i‘m selling a full fuel system for max. 700hp and a TTE570 turbo which is perfect for 450+ hp. 😁
 
I cannot offer any advice on any experience of being in the same position, but if I was in that situation I believe Syvecs would be the route I would chose. For me, the complexity of the GRY ECU dictates that a bolt on affair, namely Ecutek, is introducing even more complexity.
I would much rather have a single element of software/hardware, than elements of two trying to work together.
 
Artec with EcuTek will see 420, Syvecs I’ve seen 425 posted.

I guess the advantage of EcuTek is you can keep all the driving assists for those boring motorway miles. I believe you lose that with Syvecs.
 
Does the Artec with Ecutek give a lot more oomph lower down the rev range compared to OEM?

The peak numbers don't sound much different, but I'd imagine it's a whole different driving experience for Artec vs OEM, with both on Ecutek?
 
If you have the budget, go with Syvecs. It gives you a ton of options and adds a lot of safety margin compared to the OEM ECU.
And if you want the option to have more than 400-420hp, you'll definitely need the Syvecs because stock fuel system will run out of fuel at that level and OEM ECU can't handle additional fuel pumps or bigger injectors.
 
I think the gearbox would be the next worry if pushing more torque than the stock fuel system can cater for.
 
@Philevo6 do you just want to drive this as a DD or will it be used for competitive/track driving? If former you will be fine on Ecutek at 400-420 crank hp. If latter, standalone is the way.
