i know nothing about engine management. only thing i do know is that im about to upgrade to a ihi vf34 turbo with sti injectors and a 255lph walbro fuel pump and perrin fuel rails/fmic/up pipe/turbo back. does anybody have input on which engine management system would be best for that setup? how are they programmed? is there an upgrade specific map or are they completely programmable.

 

hey wassup man. k, with a set up like yours, your gonna need to do some tuning. you could use AP but i doubt it will maximize your performance. but on the other hand, you could get the AP AND STREETTUNER and start with the vf34 map and go from there. where are you buying your items from? maybe ask them what EM they recommend for your set up..

 

hey myron im prolly gonna go thru vokamon aka speedgear for my parts and install. they were telling me that the ap would be sufficient but i want something that is more user tunable. is the street tuner out yet? what em are you using? my buddy in california said the utec is pretty good so thats where im leaning.

 

k but heres the question.... are you ready to learn how to tune? cuz its gonna be a *****.. alot of peeps that i know who have the utec are constantly tuning their car.... is that something that you wanna do?

 

Find a shop that does Ecuteck reflashes or use one of the Cobb maps, or use a Exede from Vishnu. One of the 3 should work fine with a vf34 setup.

 

k dude, while that sounds like a great idea, we're in hawaii. there are no shop here that does ecutek flashes. and people like me cant be mailing out my ecu for my car is daily driver...

 

Then get the Cobb Access Port Handheld shipped to you and use the stage 2.5 Map.

They were just suggestions.

 

hey i know man. not flaming you. your info is appreciated. mahalo

 

would love to learn how to tune and im more than willing to tune on a regular basis. sounds fun. plus if i learn i can teach other people how to do it. i still might just go with the ap tho. well see. all i know is that im going to have a lot of fun going fast. all i gotta say is sti shortblock, vf34, and zero 2r's game on.
