2003? Your fine, you should get the emanage ultimate if you're getting Giles to tune

 

yeah, i know he's quite the expert with GEMU - the VAFC fit my current budget, though. Eventually I'll go Ultimate or AEM, but in the meantime I'll have to settle for the WOT VAFC tune.

 

500 used for a ECU + harness is about the street price. For a couple hundred more, you get 3x that much in features that Giles knows what to do with.

Regardless... 2003 run rich so it's not as dangerous as a late model AP2 per say to run those mods.

 

believe me, i realize ultimate is a superior EMS, and I'm aware of the Apexi's limitations. The price was right ($200 with boomslang harness), so I scooped it up. Eventually I'll sell it and move up to the Greddy unit, but for now it will do.

I was under the impression that 02-03 AP1s didn't run quite as super-rich as the earlier 00-01 models did, which is what kinda raised a red flag for me.

 

YOU"RE GONNA BLOW UP!!!




You'll be fine, man. Yours runs a little leaner from the factory than mine, but I'm still in the low-12s @ WOT on the factory settings. Just don't go WOT up and down Barrett this week.

 

lol... i'll just lower VTEC to 3,000 RPM and try and stay between 8-9k on barrett all day every day. everything should be dandy, right?

haha, sounds like the general consensus says its time to throw all these goodies on... yippee

 

throw in a good money-shift every once in a while and you'll fit right in.

on a related note: i need to come see you for another rear main seal for this pos. i set the thing a hair too deep and its seeping just enough to piss me off.

 

d'oh! come on by then... i'll be there friday and saturday alllll day.

 

your car is going to run 1 lambda untill wot, so just keep your foot out of it.
