So, with this build the whole idea for me was to have innovative technology and not going too overboard as well. I also wanted to address areas of concern while its being built, things like bigger and yet more refined turbo without going too big like Gt35 and up, so went with Gen 2 GTX3076R which is capable of 750hp with good powerband and spool time, more than enough for my needs. Went with stronger and more load capable wiring throughout the vehicle, bigger injectors with flexfuel capabilities, ultra plenum for running cooler intake Temps, standalone ecu to not only have more capabilities but also to clean up the electronic bay area, vehicle already had a built motor with corrillo H beam rods, wossner pistons and 1/2 inch studs to support well over 600hp. The transmission was also addressed with race cut gears by Robinson industries. It has trac dynamics swingarm with built in air tank. Brembo brakes all throughout with Brembo M/C. I will have the whole build list once it is built.
So, this brought me to the wheels being addressed. As we all know there are amplitudes of wheels available in the market from carbon fiber to others. Although beautiful wheels, with carbon fiber i will not be able to treat this vehicle the way i want to, a daily driven high horsepower turbo machine, and I'll have watch for every little imperctions as they occur, will also be going through tires quite often and with every tire change I'd run the risk of ruining the wheels. So no go for carbon fiber wheels for me. There is also beautiful wheels like core moto wheels, which I must say are gorgeous. But again I believe I'll stick with stock wheels wheels for now. As they're very strong built wheels by suzuki, but maybe down the road I'll opt for something else. With that being said, I will change the wheel bearings to a world wide ceramic bearings for a much free flowing wheels and thus relating to smoother power delivery to the pavement and maybe oven higher top end.
Those core moto wheels are the truth!
Hi. I would like to know more about them, like how much $. I have to pick what MAXX ECU to use. I was thinking the RACE or the PRO? I wish I was still living in Texas. I lived In El Paso and worked out of there. I will talk to Andy at DME too.
You’re asking me? I haven’t gone 6.30s yet... I’m just messing with you.
It really depends on how much data you want to acquire, and what other items/devices you want to run aside from usual engine sensors, injectors, ignition etc. Every level of maxx Ecu comes with all the basics preset. Tps, air temp, coolant temp, crank and cam trigger inputs. Every ecu model you move up, the only thing that changes is the amount of extra inputs and outputs you have at your disposal.
However this being the first maxx Ecu I’ve wired, and have a maxx race for a build I’m mapping out on paper, I’ve gotten savvy to their marketing, and it’s rather annoying. How they set up their ecus, some of those extra inputs and outputs that you’re paying extra money for aren’t reconfigure-able. For example on this sport ecu, it has pre configured outputs to run a drive by wire throttle body. That’s great if you have one. But if you don’t, you can’t change that output to pulse width output to drive boost control solenoids for example. On the race ecu I’m mapping out, it has 8 EGT inputs. I’ll only be using 4. The other 4 pins are just along for the ride.
I started looking over the model comparisons any they’re really good with their packaging. You can find the right ecu for your needs but be short one or two certain inputs or outputs. I’d you’re on a tight budget, you’ll have to decided what you can live without, or for just a little bit more you can step up to the next ecu and get everything you want. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking them, it’s a smart way to make money off us HP junkies. We need our fixes, lol.
I guess I’m just spoiled from running my Holley Dominator. It has 30 inputs, and 30 outputs, and you can configure each pin to do anything you need.

IMO, the best option for a turbo busa with all the race bells and whistles the race ecu is the best option. It will run up to 8 injectors if you want to, and has 4 extra VR inputs along with a few extra in/outs. The only thing the pro can do over the race is run 12 ignition coils.
