ECU DECISION HELP
I have a 1990 with a 1.8 from a 95, and a 1991 with a worn out 1.6. I recently came into a 2005 vvt and want to drop it into the '91. My eventual goal is to turbo the car and would like to get 200-255 rwhp. That is a ways off though and i only mention it as it has bearing on my decision for my ECU. I have been researching for a few days and there is just too much info out there. LOTS of opinions both for and against any given product. I have narrowed it down to either the Hydra or the MS3. I read another similar post here on this forum, but it mainly dealt with the ms3 vs the ms2 + vvt control. I have a good working knowledge of engines and electronics. I have done several engine swaps and rebuilds, but I am in no way an expert. In fact, this will be my first actual tune. I live in the DFW area so there are some good shops that can bail me out if I get too lost. I am asking for advice on which ECU would fit my application best.
Thanks, -Chris |
MS3x or slow painful horrible death.

MS3x or AEM are the only 2 EMS I can recommend, but MS3x is my personal preference over the two.

That bad huh? I was hoping that the tech support on the Hydra from fm was going to be worth the extra $. At least it puts the turbo in financial reach again. I can put the savings towards that goal.

MS3-Basic from MSLabs. I <3 my MS3

Thanks for the quick responses. Looks like it is unanimous. MS3 it is.
Thank you! I will have more questions...Lots more. I will try to do my due diligence and research first before I ask though. |
Ok, I have finally ordered my ECU. I went with the ms3 as it was the overwhelming favorite amongst other users. I will keep everyone posted as to how my project is going. I have the VVT motor on the stand and ready to drop in. Thanks for the info.
