Standalone Systems

So I have decided to build up the 88 as a turbo, was wondering about Standalone systems, who's good, who to stay away from that kind of deal.

Thanks Morgan

Re: Standalone Systems

Stay away from Power FC units. There nice, but not great.

Haltech, MoTec, Wolf, AEM EMS is not to bad on a rotary, but i would try for the first 3 before AEM.

Re: Standalone Systems

What's wrong with AEM for rotary? I know a guy that's running a 350z with all AEM parts and is pushing 500hp at the wheels

Re: Standalone Systems

Im just not a fan of there tuning system. There parts are fine, but i regard them as being ins the same catagory as APC and stuff like that. There not a true tuner companie, there just there for the ride while the times are good.

Re: Standalone Systems

Microtech is not very good for FC's. I have had it on a few customer cars and had to work through ALOT of issues with it. But i hqave seen some done, there just very expensive to work with and alot of "tuners" arent familiar with them.

Re: Standalone Systems

ive seen microtech'd cars that were fine, idk.

the guy builing my engine recommentds it (along with haltech)

i also see it less expensive than comparable haltech, like 900 vs 1300 for a haltech

Re: Standalone Systems

haltech offers you alot more adjustment and alot more options.

You may also be intrested in Megasquirt. Its actualy a great system. You simpley build it for whatever application you need it for.
