you are in the same boat I am. I tuned my VAFC II. that was easy as butter with a wideband.

I had ult emanage in the past, never got to install it. I am in the market again for the unit and harness. I want to start learning to tune myself, I have a pretty good understanding of the principles, the only thing I am lacking is a dyno.


BUT with that being said, the f20c is a good engine to learn to tune on, N/A at least, Forged internals, can basically see a BUNCH of knock before it starts melting.


WOT tune should be on the easier side of tuning N/A, I am going to start with that, get a mic to listen to the knock sensor, get some kinda of laptop software that recored engine time vs rev, to see if you are making progress on power. you can adjust your tune when you get to a real dyno.

 

the more i think about it the more im thinking im going to tune it myself if and when that happens ill be on here talking about it

 

im hopefully getting an emanage ultimate and getting giles to tune it when he comes down to atlanta for our tuning event.

 

Zeeb haha glad to see you diversified from our home forum

 

So if you have a good tuner, are there any down sides to this or is it just plug play and tune?

 

The only real downside is that you don't get the full tuning capabilities of a standalone. That being said, it's a very capable system for being a piggyback. If you have a good tuner, you will be impressed with this system's capabilities!

you're in long beach....church automotive is out by long beach.

i think you have your answer on where to go.

although if you have the s/c listed in your sig, you really might want to consider the aem ems instead.

the em-u is perfect for n/a tunes; but a stand alone is the better choice with FI.

 

I wont boost but 8-9lbs if that, I want something tha can lower vtec, scale injectors trim fuel maps and alter timing.

If i were going over 9lbs then id kpro. If this unit can do all that problem free, then it sounds like its for me.
