Hello all,
What management system is best for a 3rd Gen 3S-GTE? Currently im using an emanage blue but it isnt doing as well as i had hoped. So....im in the market for what piggyback may be better for our engines. |

I've been testing the Megasquirt II system for a while, but never implemented it to any car.
I say it was one of the cheaper alternatives ($500 or less) to an EMS which could run about $1-2K. However, some of the flaws include having to build the circuits, tuning from scratch and finding the right settings. However, a lot of people have basic map settings and tunes for stock motor now which makes the process a lot easier and you can buy the pre-built EMS. |

Hi,

i would go stand alone. get the AEM EMS 4 or Power FC I don't think EMS4 works with our distributor, so it would be a custom trigger wheel type of deal. PowerFC is okay, but quite a few years old and offers no knock detection. MegasquirtPNP is out for the 2nd gen and should be out for the 3rd gen soonish. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
