SiGNAL,
You quote:
"Not trying to start a war here but just want to let everyone know what they have to consider when getting ecu. I think common mistake is thinking of extracting maximum power without thinking all other heaps of problems that will arise if you dont use your stock ecu. It's like telling half story and not telling the other half. The way you say "the blue" can't start the engine without the help of stock ecu makes emanage sounds so incapable. The design of emanage is to be used in conjunction with the stock ecu for various reasons."
You see, new people here don't understand "piggy pack" and "stand alone unit"
As long as the price is cheap. They just pay for RM1400.00 for whole thing.They just don't know the beauty of the "stand alone unit".
You quote:
"Let me ask you this, can stand alone ecu operate ABS, digital climate control, AYC, ACD, HICAS, ATTESSA, SRS air bag and all other things that come standard in a modern car. Yes some of the things above have their own computer such as ABS but then they work in conjunction with the stock ecu."
You are right here. Give you big credit here. I already mention on some threads. As long as "those thing" work in conjunction with the stock ecu, it is much much better to use "piggy pack" like "the blue" and others, especially in auto transmission.
Nows a day, the power asisted sterring are using electrical motor and circuit too,like new Honda Civis 2.0, Suzuki.
You quote:
"And by using your stock ecu, you can re-use ALL of your factory sensors. Nothing beats the factory silky smooth idling."
In that case, Motec, AEM are history.They paid so much in R & D also. What i know is, depend on the engine and the "tunner", how much they can understand the behaviour of the "stand alone ecu"
Well, customer alway right. If they want "that thing", just sell "that thing" for him.
Until they regret, trade in "that thing", and pay more money to buy "another thing"
Again, customer alway right.
Good Lick.
