So, you guys like Tec3Rs? Any advantages over new Haltec or any other ECUs??

Sorry, I don't have any particulars on the reason to use the Tec3R. Main reason because that is the ECU my tuner is most comfortable with. Plus I got a great deal on a new one. I saved about $900.00 buying mine off of a member on the other forum. Maybe Logan can chime in with his reasons...

Not a lot of support for the Tec3 in the US. There are a bunch of good options now with good support. Haltech or Microtech would have the most support available and they both work great on the 20B. How do I know this? They've both been on my car and worked well. The Wolf 3D was probably the easiest to tune for a novice like me but there is not a lot of support for it here.

Charlies7 is correct though - go with what your tuner wants. It's the best way to ensure you get a good tune and are not responsible for problems if they arise. The tuner can't blame it on the ECU. Don't ask me who I learned this lesson

As for rotor housings, call Cam Worth at Pettit Racing - he always has a stock of rotor housings hanging around so you might get lucky. You can get new ones through Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda but they cost a bundle.

Yes. The TEC unit is not for the everyday guy. For those more knowledgeable, it's an alternative.
