its not just injector pulse you have to control and even with the AFC its not that much control, also there are so many other variables, ignition retard, air density, air intake temp, timing adjustments. if the central ecu is not adapt at controlling these variables cuz its not designed for that it wont react quick enough if it senses detonation. the afc is just a band aid.
also lets say i wanna run nitrous, 15psi, but i also wanna run race gas, turn down the boost, and a host of other changes. how can a one size fits all ecu satify all customers? 240sx's run drag races, street racing, auto x, track racing...an kinda racing.
With a JWT ECU you pay $900 for the programming, 400 if you wanna run nitrous and if you wanna run more boost you pay $350 for the cobra mass airflow meter. $1600 for what? a system you cant adjust, have to rely on JWT to make changes, is slow to react and save your engine. i ran the stage two program and the car idled like total ****. for $1200 you can have the sds system that pros use and get insane amounts of power with it
also i got more power from the standalone than the jwt, and not just 10-20hp i gained 50hp to the wheels using a stand alone. believe it or not. now i am building up a ka24de to run over 30psi and i am so glad i have a stand alone.
