FullNelson;1072646 said:On the note of tuning, how hard are they to tune for tuners? are all standalones different in the manner of how they adjust different aspects? Or if say i live close to some jow schmoe who i know for a fact is a wizzard at tuning motec on subarus, would he be someone to trust, or run away from?
It depends.
most standalones
fuel and timing is a table. Easy to go from one to the other.
What makes them different is the terminology used.
Startup enrichment in ms or %, sometimes a table, othertimes just a field.
configuration of outputs to certain function, fixed or user assignable?
and a whole slew of other details that makes knowing the specific system a good thing. That applies to whether it be a Stinger, Megasquirt, AEM, EFI Technologies, MoTeC, Bosch Motronic MSx etc.
