Altezza Ecu

[boddamloon]

I got a blast in an Altezza today and as far as i know its standard.Oh lordy it would **** all over my IS200 Sport.Initial power and take off is much greater than my car.Its the RS200 grey import and i think its Yamaha tuned.

Here are the obvious differences and the reason for this is probally as the RS does not cut out until 8000 RPM, but all through the take off its quicker.

2nd 3rd 4th 5th

Is200 50 80 100 130 MPH

RS200 60 100 120 130 MPH

ran out of road to try 6th. My question is this would an Altezza ECU go into my IS200 and would it make a difference?

Fitted a Scorpion Cat back system today and it sounds good it not too loud but its deeper than the standard one.Well chuffed.

It's the entire engine that's the difference mate, in the IS200 you've got the 6 cylinder 1G-FE, whereas in the RS200 you've got the 3S-GE, think the 3S-GE is based on newer technology as well.

They do go like stink, Zee's got a turboed RS200 and that thing goes like mad - I'd still kick his ***** in the Aristo though (as long as there aren't any corners )

Ok thanks for that ! i know one for sale its white and i think its a 98 with only 40k but its the insurance thats the killer for them !but your right i was surprised how quick it was and i think its almost 50bhp more

[aido]

How old are you mate?

I'm paying less for my Aristo than I was for my IS200 when I originally got it and it's got 200bhp more than the IS had :D

Standard it is about 60bhp more, the IS is 150, the 5AT Tezza is 200 and the 6MT 210.

Try brokers who specialise in imports and modifieds like Adrian Flux and A-Plan, Tesco are supposed to be good as well. My insurance only went up by about £70 from an IS200 Sport to the Tezza.
