Hi Guys
I'm trawling through threads gathering info and just thought id ask the experts. I have an Alto Works with the k6a on its way from Japan and I'm keen to learn more about potential upgrades.
From what I understand, some Cappo parts fit but the ECU isn't the same (makes sense).
Any advice on the basics that I should be looking into?
Of course the car will be serviced and checked on arrival but to start I was thinking the following to begin:
1. New plugs
2. Mild boost control
3. New filter
4. Decat (if it has one)
I think it has a decent exhaust by the looks of the pictures.
Maybe I'm best going aftermarket ECU instead of boost control etc?
Sorry guys, not a Cappo owner but few places have the knowledge on these 
Any advice appreciated |

Thanks for that, but from what Ive read (might not be 100%) the N1 acu isn't compatible with the Alto
Might not be right, but just what Ive read so far |

| For some reason the N1 is not listed for your model but is for the previous one which also had the K6A engine. I did think the only difference between the Cappo and Alto ECUs was the case but it's a simple job to swap the internals over. I'm sure we've seen people swap them over like that on the F6As... |

Thanks Andy
Is the N1 only available from Monster Sport or do you have any advice of other places to buy? |

| I assume something like e-manage would gain similar results to the N1? |

| If you know what you're doing, or have someone that does, a standalone unit and Coil On Plug will give much better tuning options. It's a case of budget & future plans really. |

Yeah, I'll wait till the car arrives but I have spoken with my usual garage (they are rebuilding my r32 skyline). Good guys, so once here I'll look at options.
I used E-manage before and found that fine, so might go that route |
