Standalone ECU from Scratch

[Pushit2.0]

Going big? I doubt that. 2.4s are good for street cars and breaking drivetrain. If you want to go fast 2.0 is where its at. Last I checked Shep or Brent do not have a 2.4. Yes the MS2 is a standalone but the resolutions and tuning ability on startup/idle/cold start/warm start suck vs the AEM or Link. I hate Mafts with a passion but they can work for making power if setup right. And you can vent your BOV just like in F&F. The only down side to staying 2g mas is the restriction befor the turbo.

Those 2 guys don't have a 2.4, so that means you can't make them fast. I don't think he meant going 8's when he was talking big. There are plenty of fast 2.4's out there.

wow... where did this come from... I got a quote from F&F and blow off sound
But since you work for LSE how many DSMs have you tuned with not a MSI but with a MSII? I am just curious on how they liked them? This doesn't count the 420a running them. So far everyone on msextra have loved their system and wouldn't use anything else, even DSMlink. Am I in the wrong direction? Computer to computer the resolutions of MSII are faster then the stock ECU. This is why it is able to run bigger injectors. Still the injector size that I want to run is way too big for just a simple AFC. By using a AFC and a huge injector, it throws the whole timing off. Best to go to something a little more standalone.

The Cold, Idle and warm up "suck" because it is only till recently that someone was able to make the stock IAC work with MSII. MSI couldn't do that. Even then people can adapt another IAC from another car to work with it. No one has taken the effort to do that and just let it run cold. This is probably what you seen.

it was said that going big, I meant 2.4L level not HP...well that will come with it...


Please explain more if you are going to say
"MS2 is a standalone but the resolutions and tuning ability on startup/idle/cold start/warm start suck"
and 2.0L is where it is at because of Shep and Brent...
and please don't use POWER as a term. I HATE that term because different people have different perceptions of POWER. For example 300hp seems low to me and 600hp seems high but someone else might find that 300hp is REAL POWER.

I am looking for technical feed back.
