ECU for ITB, MS3x vs AEM
I know. :rofl::facepalm::dealwithit:
Is there any effective reason to go with one or the other on an ITB setup? I'm going to stick with MAP, not alpha-n. |
MAP with ITBs? This seems like a non-educated decision. Have you ever tuned ITBs on just MAP?
|
Non educated indeed. The research I did came to that MAP would work with a large vacuum box.
Also, I should have been more specific. I meant that I wanted to stay away from pure alpha-n. I'm not informed on what ecu has the best itb mode, I know Ms3 has one. |
Both the MS2 and the MS3 have hybrid ITB modes.
|
Right, I understand that. I'm just asking if there's a specific ecu that would be preferable. I'm not sure if all ITB modes are equal.
|
You talking about the ems4 or the aem v1/v2?
|
Worry more about the way to tune the different mixed/hybrid modes than the theory behind them.
Just making pure Alpha-N stable is a lot more cumbersome than simple MAP on a plenum. A tuning mode than can tune the mixed mode at once would make it more noob friendly (no idea if it would be possible even in theory). |
18psi: Not sure, those were simply the two most commonly supported ECUs I could find, and being able to look up Miata related info means a lot. I'm somewhat used to using an MS1, so I was planning to go MS3x, but made this thread to verify it.
|
Have you considered Electromotive? I have a basic Ignition from them, and plan to step up to a unit that has more sophisticated ignition control, and the ability to control ITBs when I am ready to make the leap. I have been very happy with the basic unit. It would probably not be your best choice if you have already done ignition enhancements.
|
To be honest, I hadn't. I didn't even know they had something that wasn't twenty years old. Follows with my wanting to stick with what's popular here for ecu options when I'm learning.

TPS tune mode.. i know adaptronic has it.
Map without a plenum wont do shit so unless you're planing on bridging some 1" hose between the IRTBs it wont work. |
i run an ems 4 on itbs as far as the tune goes it works fine on tps mode. having a large vacuum accumulator would work but would also narrow the tuning window. in effect it would have less resolution on the map sensor signal. i did this and had little fluctuation from the map. i have tuned on the ms3 as well on a freinds corolla and was more impressed with their hybrid map it ran nice and had all the benifits of both tuning methods.

the early units were a pain in the vagina.
I hear the new 1280 or whatever its called are pretty legit, but then they're like 1200 or something. I'm cool |

cause i've heard nothing but good things about the adaptronic...

Well, it sounds like MS3's hybrid mode is pretty killer then. Thanks for the replies, everyone. Now I just need to get an MS3x built by someone.
