Buy a brand new Mines ECU, or send yours off

[rakkasan]

..... There is zero need for a stand alone.

If your car is a track or dyno queen that sees 30psi, yes the only way is to go stand alone or mapecu2.

This is why I'm in the mood to jack you up today. Statements like that should be limited to the "other" forum...

I'm going stand alone for a few reasons, but making higher horsepower isn't one of them. I want a broader power band & run a ECU that isn't going to shit itself while I'm on the road. With stand alone, I can give it more timing in the off boost giving it less spool time (IE broader power band) & I don't have to worry about the stock ECU crapping out due to bad a PCB. An aftermarket ECU has lots of advantages over stock....

This topic is about 1JZ's. Not even the 1046whp stock bottom end 1JZ did 500whp on 93. Nitrous doesn't count.

It's a simple fact that if everyone on here that has a stand alone and was a GREAT tuner, they'd be working as a tuner full time. It's also a fact that not everyone wants to play with settings 24x7 to drive their car to get mcdonalds when a cold front rolls by and they have to retune.

My time is worth money, and I don't get paid to fuck with my own car to get a burger.

so spend money to a tuner and get it tuned (what your doing with the Mines)

Theres advantages and disadvantages. If you drive your car to work and back everyday, going standalone isn't giving you an advantage.

You still haven't even answered the question. Do you believe a Mine's ECU is a better investment than a standalone EMS?? It's a yes or no question. Don't write me a novel.

Answer the question... Yes or No. Quit writing me these long ass posts.

Reaper: It's all good, man.

But spending 1800$ on a tuned ecu is?

 

[Ric]

This is worse then a holley vs. carter carburator war. Yeah the holley will get you a tad more HP, but you'll be turning screws all day to make the car work, when the carter will never let you down, but make a few less ponies.

not true playing with closed loop can net you far better gas mileage :naughty:

And why would a standalone not be an advantage for a daily driver? You take your car with your EMS to a qualified tuner, have him tune it efficiently, and don't touch it again. What difference does it make how often the car is driven?

Answer the f*cking question YES OR NO!!! All you had to do was answer the damn question yes or no PAGES ago and you could have saved us all this arguing.

Just admit that you made some stupid, irrelevant comments & let it go...

Having to pay $1800 once, and never have to touch it again is a sure of a hell lot better then spending $1200 on a cheaper ECU, spending $600 on laptop, spending $800 at titan to tune it, and still have to mess with it on a weekly basis.

get a better tuner, you dont have to mess with it until you change your setup.

and what happens when you change your setup with the 1800 mines ecu?

oh well.. works over.. i'll check back later on this thread

:blah:

Not have to touch it again? Right, because people NEVER change their setups at all(more injector, different turbo). What do you do with a Mine's ECU when you upgrade or change your setup? Ship it back overseas for another month? Add some piggy backs? Sure as hell sounds like "having to touch it again" to me.

Answer the damn question, Ric. Stop avoiding me. YES OR NO.


Wow, we're on post #93 now. All you had to do to avoid this was answer a simple question yes or no.

 

[Ric]

There is no "yes or no" answer. It all depends on application. That's like asking is a GT47-88 turbo better then a GT35R? All depends on what you're using the car for.

^^that means NO, joe^^ LOL

 

[Ric]

Take your AEM stand alone tuned car, and let's take a drive from FL to Colorado and leave the laptop at home since you're not changing any parts... Let's see how good it runs

No comments Ric? Do you recommend that I go with a SAFC with my twins :icon_roll ?

weak arguement since MKIII's aren't normally used as business travel vehicles...

It is a yes or no question. It's not like asking if a GT47-88 is better than a GT35R. :rofl:

When is a reflash ECU with piggy backs EVER going to be better than a standalone tuned by a qualified tuner?

Why can't you say yes or no. Are you afraid to be wrong? :stickpoke


Rakkasan: lol! I want to hear it from Ric though, instead of all this tap dancing for pages and pages.
