the biggest problem with z cars are there are non in the junkyards anymore and there is a following but they did not make enough of these cars like they did the muscle cars the vettes the pony cars. heck they made a ton of rx7s but with i don't trust rotary motors- i would rather build a car that has the motor in it already that is good to build. i am also looking at bmw e30 325is or an e36 obd1 m3 or 325is. there is a large following for them plus they have an eprom chip. but the price on those cars are much more than i can pick up an already factory turbo supra mk3 for. i have been watching the rx7s for cars that already have swaps done but they are mostly ford v8s which i am more of a chevy guy if i am going muscle.

so things like if i were to snap a control arm would i be able to find one? as far as the ecu goes guess i am not a huge fan of piggy back systems- but if there are a lot of guys running them with no issues... i just have seen issues with piggy backs like on hondas and dsm stuff etc.

problem with tuning the piggyback systems is mostly human error. the ecu's in the supras are incredibly advanced for the time they were produced.

but at the same time from my understanding they did not use any kind of eprom chip correct?

it looks like you can mod the timing instead of just the fuel curve on that maft pro system- i haven't seen a piggy back also tune the ignition timing before - it looks basically like a daughter board to hook up to the existing ecu that you tune with to mod the existing ecu code but through the maft pro computer. is this correct?

to answer the eprom questions.. meaning if you say remove the batter form your car you loose your data.? no..
to answer how the maftpro works.. (ive only used an safc2 so ill state what i know from that ) it wires directly into the ecu and overrides the date.. telling it to do what you program in. essentially

so its like having a daughter board then like nistune basically?
