Well with the price of a replacement ECU costing so much and no cheaper alternative in sight, this seems to be the same price and prob a better buy? Anyone have any experience with this? Would this solve our ECU woes?

no experience yet. there were a few talks about this in the Houstook's forum though. I chatted with the guys from AEM at SEMA this year for a long time about it. It does A LOT, it costs A LOT, and hopefully if you do go this route and plot out a map, you will be doing it with a certified and trained technician on this particular product and not a nickle and diming internet wholesaler.

/my two cents/rant

it will do anything you want and if you can think of something that it does not do they will integrate it into the product. they've included everything you can think of. V-AFC does quite a bit but this does a helluva lot more which is why they are hoping to only sell through trained facilities.

 

Thanks... I am looking to get a V-AFC in the future, but I really don't like all the "safeties" built into our ECU. Since I don't drive WOT all the time, I get the impression that our ECU will adjust at non-WOT settings. Maybe the prices will drop in a year or so.

When you talked to them did they mention what more it would do then the V-AFC?

I take it their plan is to seel only to tuning shops and have them do all of the programming etc... Not allowing the end user to directly tweak anything?

 

Did you notice the price for the S2000 was the same as all the others?

 

hahaha yeah so that means it is either cheap or overpriced

 

its not intended for the average tuner. the product prices for the different applications are very similar. If you look at the prices of other AEM CAI's and the CAI for our car, you'll notice that AEM isn't trying to price gouge smaller production cars like our S.

 

If things work out, this will go on my car Jan/Feb of 2002, hopefully the experience will answer many questions.
