Choosing an engine management system

[Jez]

Theres been a few threads recently about engine management options, so I thought I'd create a list to help people choose.

Heres a price comparison with our recommendations:

We can supply, fit and map all of the options above. If anyone has any questions, let me know :)

im getting my engine rebuilt soon and im aiming for 500bhp im defo going nistune route my issue is getting it too u to get it mapped as i live in the arse end of the country in cornwall my mates garage tunes emerald systems so will they be able to do the nistune is there much difference if any

Nistune is very different to Emerald. They could probably do it though - they'll need to buy the Nistune software and a consult lead (and the Nistune board etc for your car)

Would it be worth adding the map resolution to the table, I know that the PFC has 20x20 tables, I would imagine that the solaris, etc have a better resolution?

To be honest having a large table resolution isn't really a big advantage. All are more than 16x16 which is fine for most engines.

Standard ECU (H-Dev ECU upgrade, H-Dev custom maps and Nistune) are 16x16
PFC is 20x20
Solaris is configurable up to 25x40 (I'm only using 16x20 on my car)

Yes, if you wanted to :)

Hi im interested in getting a H-dev chip probs Stage 1a, but i was wondering if i had more mods than installed than what was required would it work ok or would it be better to get a Nistune and remap?

Thanks,

Matt

If you went for a 1a map on one of our boards, we'd be able to custom map afterwards if your spec changes. Or you could do with a Nistune board that will give the same results as using our board. The advantage of going with a Nistune board is that you can buy laptop software to remap it, where as with our board only we can remap it.
