What is the best EMS

[drifterhype]

What is the best computer for my car, i got a 90 S13 with a SR20DET swap?

[nametakennow]

You're in the wrong section. This is the FWD SR section.

That's a really general section that will cause you to get flamed, fyi. I'd try searching.

haltech e11v2

I hear YourMOM is pretty good....

MOTEC or Tec 3/Tec GT

both are the best out there, bottom line. You will have to buy new sensores and make your own engine harness, but itll have the most accurate tunability and most user friendly interfaces.

i no longer recommend teh AEM EMS to people as mine had issues at one point in time, now they have recalled all the units i believe.

haltech e11v2

the Hal 9000 is even better.

retuned stock ECU, your options are very limited. What race class are you building your car for?

[nismofly]

im going to at least start off running the car in SCCA prepped for ITA specs, then running the car in ITA trim in NASA PTD

yeah you cant do much at all, but i really think itll be a good level to start off at, and my wallet will like me that much more for it...as much as id like to be running ST with you and a couple other east coast people

[sr20goofus]

itll be awhile before i start racing, even tho im doing whatever i can to stay in PTA that way i can be more competative instead of always needing more power. I just need to keep power around 270-300 and not lighten the car much more and i should be good.

I plan on being a NASA instructor next year, im doing the clinic at VIR in march, its one step closer to me getting MUCH more track time for cheap so i can determine if racing is a financial possibility. (tires and brakes more than anything)

[nismofly]

of course i say that and the new 2008 GCR comes out and says this

6. The engine management computer may be altered orreplaced. A throttle position sensor and its wiring maybe added or replaced. A MAP sensor and its wiring maybe added. Other existing sensors, excluding the stock airmetering device, may be substituted for equivalent units.

7. Wires and connectors in the engine wiring harness may bemodified or replaced.

Apexi power FC base map is good for stock boost they also sell a boost controller kit so you can manange boost trew it also i use Utec on my Z no problems have a Boost controller kit for the Power fc for a redtop if you coose that path let me know

[sr20goofus]

the only issue with PFC is that you HAVE to use either their commander, of buy the Datalogit stuff which costs an arm and a leg. not easy to do tuning with laptop.

[Initial_R90]

PFC is 699 with commander from JPS or RHD Japan

[sr20goofus]

i know you can get the PFC cheap, but not the laptop tuning hardware.

whatever you do buy, be sure to get it with a warrenty, electronics are never fun when something goes wrong.

[nwmrkt]

with the power fc...if i buy the commander also do i need the datalogit?

[sr20goofus]

datalogit is only for laptop tuning, usse different software and everything.

commander comes with PFC no matter wha i thought.

What plans do you have for the motor as far as mods, power and use? A stock ECU tune goes a LONG way before it can no longer handle the demands of the application.
