best bang for the buck
 

jw what would be the best bang for the buck for a ems and wideband combo

and hows the ostrich datalogging kit with the wideband for 400 jw if theres any better deals out there

also wondering what the e mange does

noob toboost so lmk

It all depends what car it will run on; I dont know of any wideband EMS combo's, but I do know that you can get a megasquirt and an LC1 from diyautotune.com for something like 380 dollars, PLUS all the tuning/dataloging software for the megasquirt is free and open source, and it is relatively universal and has a wide userbase.

thats the kit i was talking about

first of all just because you have all the ---- doesnt mean you can tune I know i cant golf so even if i go out and buy all the nice ---- I am still a shitty golfer. except the only balls that will be getting crushed will be yours when you have to push your car home because you just put a hole in the piston.

well i just need to get a good set up for the low because one of my buddies does most the tunning for peeps in my area and he knows his ---- on tunning

u have to remember its also very good to have this so you can monitor ur a/f ratio whn ur just driving around

wtf i dont get it.

umm here is a dumb idea does that kit come with a chip burner? are you going to go fast and furious and think its cool to run with a laptop at all times lol

well no im not the queer fnf guys im talking real time data logging i herd its good for tuning at half throttle and what not but i have not clue about the chip burner thing is it just as good a reall time datalogging and plus its not like il be riding everywhere with my laptop hooked up i just need it hooked up for the tune and what not but i just want to get a good ems so i can just get it tuned with out paying ------- 200$ for an hour a tuning everytime

by the way my set up is a 92 eg hatch with b16a swap with gsr cams skunk 2 intake mani, boosted on to4e with fmic greddy bov golden eagle fuel rail 255 fuel pump 440 inj full 3in down pipe to 3in full cat back no name 38mm wastegate and running off a chip from phearable.net thats all i remember from the top of my crainium

and no 1 have ne clue which way i should go for good quality low budget ems wide band set up?

megasquirt has a program called autotune which can do it for you based on AFR targets. you find a base map for your car and set the map then it will find what is best for you based on the AFR targets and knock sensing and all that.

eeh megasquirt is not really needed for hondas with the vast knowledge of the obd1. Have you ever wondered why tuning is 200$ and hour? I will give you one idea its because not everyone can do it. I charge 150$ an hour for tuning and I am booked

umm do you have any idea what deto even sounds like?

wtf u talking about now

umm detonation the lovely thing that kills ring lands

and melts pistons

what do you guys feel about using megasquirt? are guys still using them? are they good?

I use it, but thats for BMW. While I would whole heartedly type a paragraph about why MS is best, I cant for a honda because there are so many different options that are way easyer. but if you want bragging rights go full standalone ;D

I would just go for S300 and get a LM-1 Wideband

want a emange?
i have one for sale
am asking 325 shiped OBO (low ball me) with all the harnesses you will need
injection and ignition and the support tool
no one here really likes it so ill let it go much cheaper


for my bmw im gonna be running megasquirt cause these ecus are a pain in the ass
(i have seen you around bimmerforums, dotcommunist in the FI section i dont post much but im on there ALL the time)

Were you gonna do emanage for your setup? I know of one guy who got away with that on an NV E36, and I am honoured to have been noticed :cool:

i accatuly have it wired up right now

it wont run my 65lb injectors (too big)
so im ---- outta luck

i know it can run 42s but dont wanna go that small

so right now im trying to get rid of it and get a megasquirt

what engine? my advice would be to wait a while if you have a VANOS motor because diyautotune is working on a vvt controller that may or may not be built into their m5x PNPEMS megasquirt system.

s300 + plx m300
