I'm gonna make an "EMS for Noobs..." thread...
 

Hey Everyone,

I need some suggestions, as well as the help from the vendors on this forum. Most of you are familiar with my "Forced Induction for Noobs..." thread that I created for the F/I section. I have been getting a lot of requests for a similar thread but for engine management systems. I have been putting it off for awhile, but the time as come. I am pretty familar with the engine managements that are available for the VQ35DE and HR, but no body is perfect, and I don't know everything.

I am going to start PMing vendors on here to request information, but any information you guys can provide would be great. Pros and Cons, Installation tips, Suggestions, and warnings...

I am going to have this done by the end of the year, so that give me roughly 2 1/2 weeks to do this (I love paid vacation!!).

Thanks in advance!! :thumbup:

The List I have so far....

- HKS F-Con
- Haltech
- Pro-EFI
- Utec
- Hydra
- Osiris
- Technosquare
- Turbonetics Re-Flash
- Motec
- Greddy E-Manage
- Unichip
- AEM EMS

^ Don't forget to add the Split Second box to your list.;)

Also, GTM and Forged have a reflash now as an alternative to Technosquare.

missed the edited list! looks good

I'm gonna start compiling info over the next few days, and try and start this on Saturday...

You'll see a write up on the Autronic SM-4 shortly.

^ Sweet... Can I hijack your info for this thread? :)

It will be Dave Shiroma's info (Function:Tuned)....but Im sure he won't mind. :) I was the just the guinea pig who asked a million questions, picked his brain, and helped solve an issue here and there.

Kool!! :thumbup2:

I heard dave talking about Autronic...interested in the results of that EMS. I am leaning towards a Haltec in another year

now the trick is getting them to read it

If you need any help with it please let me know. Maybe a comparison chart or something like that between the options?

Cobb Access Port...

Not for FI yet (to my knowledge) but under development

+1000 on that. A chart that compares options/features would be very helpful.

Waiting for the Autronic thread as well :icon21:

Had another thought as well - A listing of what shops tune what. It seems that there are several people that may choose their EMS by what their tuner uses and vice versa. Example - If I wanted Cobb and I'm here in PA and Forged is the closest tuner, I may need to re-evaluate my choice of EMS.

I did have a chart in mind... I think if I can design an excel spreadsheet, and convert it to a .gif or a .jpg file, I can up-load it to the thread...

Totally forgot about that... thanks for reminding me!!

I will compile a list of authorized tuners for each unit, and seperate them by region (i.e. West Coast, Mid-West, East Coast, South East, etc.)

Good idea. :thumbup:

If you need any info on the ProEFI and you cannot get ahold of Jason.... give me a call. My cell is 630 205 6690

Thanks Larry!!

I'm gonna try to get out to the track next time Saad and Jason go... I'll see if he can get me the info then. If not, your my next call!!
