Best bang for your buck piggyback

[cml61386]

I was wondering what everyone thinks is the best piggyback system for your dollar?

as always...."best" is a relative term. it all comes down to you, your goals and your uses.

Okay fair enough, lets say shooting for around 400whp, never used any type of a fuel management system and would preferably like to keep the stock ECM. Something that is user friendly. Are piggybacks that get rid of the MAF and turn it into a speed density system worth while do people run into problems with these or are the possible gains overweigh the potential problems.

MAFT Pro is awesome, and should work pretty damn nice for those power levels.

Apexi SAFC 1

MAFT-Pro vote here, as well.

I think it works very well for all power ranges, turbo or non-turbo.

IMO i like the map ecu 2. mainly because it can take a lot of piggybacks you might run and throw them into 1 unit and have been used on plenty of higher powered cars.
boost control, launch control, timing, fuel cut, speed cut etc. and you can use them on cars using map or kv.

i havent done much research on it but it seems pretty similar to maft pro only i couldnt find map or kv support in the 15 mins i looked at their website heh

From what I've seen and read on this forum the MAFT Pro seems very popular and for the price you really can't beat it. My question is can you hook a laptop into and is there a power and economy mode like the MAP 2. Thats what I have been trying to decide MAFT Pro which alot of people have experience with and could help if a problem occurs or try something not many people have used.

...My question is can you hook a laptop into and is there a power and economy mode like the MAP 2...

you can load whatever map you like into the MAFT pro via a laptop.

the MAFT pro does not have the dual map selectable via a switch.

Alright, what about install time? Not including any type of tuning just wiring everything up lookin at 2-4 hours?

 

[drjonez]

no difference between the two....total time involved depends on your level of skill, etc. no way it should take more than 4h....unless you took a 3h nap or something.

I run the Maft Pro, and I think its great.

Greddy emanage blue :icon_bigg

 

[foreverpsycotic]

I say that the MAP-ECU2 is the best bang for the buck. Its like an AEM, only in piggyback form.

 

[mrsuprafreak]

Well I must say I'm happy with my Greddy EMU.

 

[cml61386]

Does the Greddy emanage allow you to go to a speed density and get rid of your maf?

no.

 

[cml61386]

So pretty much as far as piggy backs go the MAFT Pro and the MAP ECU are the only two that can/or are a speed density system. Is there better gains with a speed density instead of a MAF, do to the fact of getting rid of any obstructions in the intake path other than the throttle body? Are the engines more responsive with other modifications as far as speed density goes?

 

[drjonez]

I don't have a maf car runs perfect. You just have to have someone that knows what there doing to tune it.

and you also have the EMU. i.e. eman ultimate.

the eman (i.e. the blue one) CANNOT eliminate the MAF.
