plug and play systems

I am curious about this too. For myself I would most likely go with a chip made here because I can, but you are far so I can see your need.

Here is a good link: http://www.sr20forum.com/engine-management-tuning/219953-engine-management-system-comparison.html

After a lot of research I am going with a Calum real-time. Basically the same as the higher priced ecu's but different open source software. Calum is also readily available to help out and provide service.

i'm just about to switch to the nistune. about the same price as the calum and much more user friendly. calum's system is good, but being an IT geek i prefer the nistune functions.

and how does that system work

same concept as a calum board, it'll work with the calum board as well. www.nistune.com i just find it a bit more user friendly

If your looking to just adjust your air/fuel ratio i suggest apexi neo. I bought one right before i upgraded my injectors and could feel a huge difference once you dial everything in. Its a pretty good plug and play system because you can monitor your voltage output, rpm, throttle position, all your sensors, rpm limiter and graph readings. Plus from when you start your car to when you shut it off it highlights your highest readings on the monitor so you can know exactly at what rpm and what not you were at when you put your foot to the floor. Mine was only $200.00 brand new so it didn't burn too big of a hole in my wallet. Cheers

i personally wouldn't go with an safc to save a couple hundred bucks if you're going to use a different maf. the safc fools the ecu into thinking its receiving a lower voltage on the maf. This puts u in the wrong parts of the ignition map.

We sell the Vi-pec EMS. Full stand alone, speed density based tuning, and now have an S-chassis/RNN14 plug-and-play available. I'll be running the V88 Vi-pec this spring. Info available at www.vi-pec.com, video of the Quick-tune feature is on our web site: www.lightspeedinnovations.com

so then this system only deals with air fuel ratios at different RPM's or it has everything else that you can do with it. How did it work on you GTi-R?

It's not on the GTi-R yet, but it does it all. It's a full stand-alone with optional AFR correction. It uses a wideband 02 input for the Quick-tune feature, and we tune it on the dyno at each RPM range for AFR values that we predetermine. It'l do everything you need to run any engine up tp 12 cylinders. The V88 is the big dog of the Vi-pec's. It has built in knock control using OEM, or aftermarket knock sensors. The other ECM's have knock control, but require a separate knock amp.

I'll be using the same ECU in my R, and in my Gts-t.

a ecu from a 240sx can work on my gtir ?? the plug up look similar

yes with a reprogram, and running COP.

check out tunercode.  It's what I'm running.  Using a b13 ecu programmed with a GTIR bin.

double post

what COP ??

Coil On Plug.  The 240 doesn't use a distributor, only a Cam Angle Sensor and Coil On Plug.
