Which Ecu?

A general rule when shopping for your Engine Management System (EMS) is to first choose your tuner/mapper and then let them choose your ECU based on budget and specification. The reason for this is every mapper will prefer certain brands of Engine Management Systems which they feel are reliable, stable and tick all the boxes for the customer’s needs. The 5 EMS’s we recommend are Syvecs, Motec, Life Racing, Link and Apexi. Depending on the customer’s budget and engine specification we would discuss with them and recommend which one we feel would suit them best. Please note though that we only supply the Syvecs engine management system but for other system will tell you the best place to purchase them. Here are a few questions which we would ask to help us decide which EMS is best for you. 1. What is your available budget for a complete Engine Management System, which includes all accessories which may be needed? 2. What is the car going to be used for? Road/Motorsport/Drag Racing? 3. What is the Horsepower you will be aiming for? 4. What Engine will the system be used on? 5. Is the Car a Manual or Automatic? 6. Would you like the ECU to control the Boost in closed loop? 7. Would you like the ECU to be Plug & Play 8. Would you like knock control 9. Is traction control required 10. Do you want the ecu to monitor ev and everything and apply trips is problems occur
