Title: Engine management system.
Post by: Alexx on June 07, 2007, 09:19:22 AM

Wondering what kind of system you're using?
Megasquirt?
Haltech?
HKS?

It there a program that can beat Megasquirt's value?
Bang for the buck wise.

Thanks.

thinking of VEMS ore http://www.Linkecu.com LEM ve 3 clubman.
The vems is cheaper and has 8 igniter channels and 8 injector channels.
Then you can run 4 separet injectors an 4 coil over plug.

I considered a Haltech until I discovered they lack knock control.  Not as big an issue if you're not running FI.  I had a Link in a turbo Miata and was happy with it, but bought it as a PnP kit for my OBD1 car at the time.

+1 on your setup , but what modifications did you do to the car wiring and to the smt6 and how easy was it to start the car after you installed it ?

Remember that SMT6 is NOT stand alone but piggyback... It slows down calculations a bit....

Hi!

Do you still sell the smt6 and would chip me one to germany ? could also be used unit as im on budget :D

also i have a question ... as i understand the piggyback "hacks" into the system before the ECU changing input values from the sensors to trick it and you cant raise RPMs just limit them.

i have one stock ecu and one programmed for 98 octane and with rev limiter at 7500. yes i know its too high for standard engine so i dont rev so high.

is it possible to use the modified ecu with the smt6 and limit the rev to 7000 ? and

does it make sense to use this ecu or is it better to get a chip with all standard values just with raised rev limiter and then start from this point ?

Howso? Just wondering, because a lot of guys on the 'tech are using it and love it. All the big power swedes seem to love it (Ixer for one). It looks to be a nicer system than ms.

As of tonight I'm running Autronic SM4 :)

Most bang for the buck = MS no doubt.

Title: Wolf3D from WolfEMS
Post by: enildeR on March 25, 2008, 02:44:59 PM

Also, since no one mentioned it, Wolf EMS makes the Wolf3D. I bought one, and I was going to put it in my Mazda, but things change. :(

I haven't checked their site in ages.
http://www.wolfems.com.au and http://www.wolfems.com
Used to be different sites, the .com.au being the manufacturer's site. Seems they've got their shit together. :)

I still have mine in the closet. It's a superb piece of kit, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Also, AEM bought them out a bit back. Looks like (from the PICS) that they are using the AEM case, but I know not whether they changed over to the AEM board. That, and they dropped the "3D" from the name. Now, it's Wolf V500.

If you can find a Wolf3D for sale, I'd pick it up. You can check some of the mazda rx-7 forums or some porsche forums.
here is one: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=740021

I picked mine up new from a US dealer for 1200, mind you this was like 4-5 years ago.
