EMS 8860 or Haltech E6X?

[whatthe?]

Their (adaptronic's) forums don't give too much away, but do suggest that VVTi is now supported. Interesting...

I can confirm it does work, I experienced it first hand on the QLD Distributors car a couple of years ago, not quite as easy to setup but you can use some of the information available from other ECU manufacturers to give you a head start in the config settings. The Vipec/Link G4 software has some decent info about trigger offsets and duty cycles required for the vvti operation.

alright, the haltech is way out of budget. The sport 1000 will run vvt for $1850 (long fly lead) and the sport 2000 will do every thing you wont and more but for $2400 (long fly lead).
he didnt say anything about the e11v2 so im thinking its not that flash at running vvt, or its just too old for him to mention. ( as its not current)

the adaptronic "sounds" good but its such a new unit, i would wait for better backup.
i would like to try one on a dual vvt engine and just play.

EMS is awsom. Have been using thier computers ems years.
They will do anything you could think of.
Also had microwreck. They are ok.

If you think a Microtech is ok, you need your head checked

[whatthe?]

No closed loop cam control = no good anyway, so although I can get an EMS8860 at a good price it's not going to do the job

And Microleb? Yeah..... No thanks

[whatthe?]

I was just reading the E11v2 manual, the cam control actually looks pretty comprehensive (if somewhat painful to set up and configure)

Maybe I can find one of these cheap with the new Platinums out...

we only ever use them on rotors.
Mtx8 or better only.
long gone are the days of carying a little screwdriverin the glove box with your d5 just to get it to start each morning

how much can you get the sm4's for ?

[whatthe?]

2 grand plus unless you can find a 2nd hand one (I have one of these on my supra project)

[fixeruperer]

hmmm holy shit haha. It sucks becuase everything is that much closer (cost price) to that other thing that is better, if you know what i mean.

well im out of ideas, if i find a e11v2 or sport 1000 2nd hand ill let ya know.
have you rang some tuners to ask how they find the e11 with vvt ?


god speed.

[whatthe?]

Not yet, might give Yavus at Unigroup a buzz tomorrow and see what he thinks.

PFCs are good and cheapish, but you have to keep the AFM

Ive had 2 of these engines in the past, one run by a PFC, one run by a motec M600. They both did a good job of controlling the vvti

[fixeruperer]

power fc d-jetro dont use afm, or are they getting up there with price ?, there pretty old now tho. i just looked a a web page selling the d-jetro and they say $2,500 if i had that much to spend on a ecu, it wouldnt be a pfc.

[whatthe?]

Yeah, Ive heard the map ones arent real flash

Anyway, cheap haltech on ebay (so far) See what happens I guess

[reecegze]

why the change ? I am about to put a ltx8 on mine as i got it cheap, am i wasting my time

I've been looking into ECU's at this price to replace my Microtech and have settled on the Adaptronic unit.

Check out the specs and software, it does a hell of a lot and from all reports it does it quite well.
