What is the best MKIII EMS?

[88MK3.]

Hi all, I have a 88 N/A I'm bout to put some cams in and soon turbo, I no everything else I need but I'm trying to find the best Engine Management System for my car before I even buy anything. I want to get the EMS installed before I even buy any turbo parts but I'm not sure wat system to get. AEM and ProEFI both make a kit more or less but they seem but the same sept the prices. Any help?

Depends on budget and availability of tuners in your area.

there are plenty of tuners in houston and im fine paying what ever as long as its worth it i dont wana pay 2g for a system that sucks.

MoTeC
(2g will get you started maybe, I had 25g tied up in mine)

The system is only as good as its tuner. I agree that the motec is the most advanced system on the market.. but it will be terrible if the tuner doesn't know how to tune it.

Ask your tuner what he prefers.

well im looking for something thats reliable dosnt need alot of custom install work. if i did the motec wat one would it be? and how much?

Motec =money if you don't know what your doing.

Mega squirt would be the cheapest option if you know someone to tune it.

Aem pnP would be the easiest if you can find it for the 7m.

AEMs websits got like 10 diff systems for my year would ot be better to just go to a tuning shop and have them pic the one they see as the best match for me? or keep looking for one my self

Definitely. Go to your local tuning shop and ask them what they are comfortable with tuning and installing. This way, your tuner will know how to tune your engine to the best of his ability as he will know the system which is controlling your engine. That would be the only safe and secure way of knowing what EMS is best for your car IMO.

Git dat good one. Have u tuner pic it 4 u.

Megasquirt MS3. DIY FTW. This option will cost, by far, the least and is every bit as capable/reliable as the most expensive system.

Otherwise, find a tuner that knows these cars (has tuned them before), ask what they use/recommend and buy that.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

The Miata guys (specifically MiataTurbo forums) swear by MegaSquirt, and sometimes it's hard to justify anything else. MS3 can also control VVT now.

I agree that you should talk with your respected tuner first and foremost. If he has been doing it for a while, he'll have an opinion of the different options, and he should know at least one model over others. The AEM EMS is very popular for me locally, and MkIV guys are always all over it. There are "certain" places that still have it for the MkIII as well if that is what youre after...

Megasquirt all day long! As far as cheapest with the most options, you wont get anything better for what it costs!

MoteC

No less than the M600.

I had about 22k tied in my MoTeC system.

 

[scottryana]

Had? What happened to it? Would you do it again?

I rather sink the $ into a car that is designed that way.

Think

CTS-V
E or CLS AMG
M6
Porchse etc

All MoTeC stuff was sold. I recouped about 90% of the cost. It keeps it's value really really good.

LMFAO. Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[88MK3.]

Might go with the Haltech Sport 2000, the sails teams giving me a good deal on it

Im going with the AEM Version 2 plug n play standalone through DriftMotion, given mine is a 1jz but here is the link to the 7M, not sure if it would be any real difference since it is PNP for the GTE and not GE but contact Aaron. it has his number there, great price, great ECU and AEM shouldnt be hard to find a good tuner.
