No hesitate. But it does like this.
OEM ECU. Ignition - pa pa - start
STANDALONE ECU. Ignition - pa pa pa pa pa - start.

My idle is above stock too. 1000rpm more or less is idle rpm.

Tuner built up. Both VE tables with oem exhaust. Yesterdy installed a decat and only have to mod fuel for the vtec kick in because it was tending +0.3 afr lean.

You can have a dual vtec map too. So when you are cruising you disconnect the vtec.

What am managing to do Is find the way to select rpm vtec kick in lower or higher to play around.

​​​​if anyone want to buy a rs232 usb cable ALLWAYS REMEMBER to buy one with FTDI chip on it. This way you can use your phone as a gauge mainly for Knocks & AFR if you track the car.

The idle RPM can be reduced. The VTEC activation can also be reduced but then you will need to tune the VTEC fuel map again.

Yes. Offcourse. I was just explaining how mine was set.

In the Can archive is were you can modify when vtec kicks in right?

Are you going to prepare any manual for some of those advantages that other ecu doesnt have?

How to play around with shift light... no lift shift... 2step bang... vtec setting...

You can select too how the water temp gauge lights on. For example

1st block 80degree
2nd block 85degree
3rd block 88 degree

■■■

So you have a custom water temp gauge set to the temp you want.

Works great! I've literally had 0 issues and I drive it 7 days a week. It has met all my expectations thus far and with my turbo kit almost complete we will soon see how it handles boost.

Sounds pretty good, I'd definitely be interested in a follow up once you do boost it

So I officially got my ms3 installed last night. Followed the directions pretty straight forward. Took awhile to get the ecu to connect to the software but figured it all out eventually. It came with a basemap. I'm running a log manifold with t3 ball bearing turbo. Id1000s and 255 walboro. Sure enough everything fired up after a few tries. Couldn't be more excited, now to get it to a real tuner and have some fun. Rev was more then helpful and answered any questions I had.

I'm starting to get excited about this. I got a question though.
I keep reading about enhanced ms3 on fb. What does enhanced mean?
