Me just thinking at work again Options

[macavely]

Ok so as most of you know I do much of nothing at work..
know what do your guys thinking about a 5sfte with a stand alone?


i was think that would be nothing but good .. you'll get to monitor the engine better and change what needs to be .. and squeez more power of it... i'll go more into detail later.. but i want to read your guys thoughts..

The Megasquirt really isn't that hard to put together. They have fully detailed instructions on how to mount each component, a dedicated forum to help people out, etc. I recently talked to my friend with a turbocharged fifth gen. Celica ST and he's running Megasquirt and said it wasn't hard to build or setup at all. And it was his first time soldering a board and stuff.

And although there may be some things that it can't do, it's plenty powerful to do what most people want. And it'd be plenty powerful for me...so why would I want to spend an extra $800+ for something like the AEM EMS or something like that?

Celicaspeed, can you list some of the stuff that the standalones you like do that the Megasquirt doesn't do?

Oh, and by the way, I fully agree with Nik on the E-Manage vs. S-AFC II issue. The E-Manage can control things like ignition spark where the S-AFC II cannot.
