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.

Have you or do you know anyone who has used the EMS 4 before Smaay? was looking at it the other day, seems like a good bang for your buck kind of thing compared to the PFC.

Hi,

and thats for myself a haltech but stand alone one,

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.
