In the new SCC, what would be the major differences between this and other ecu's, like hondata...

I'll scan the ad soon...

 

Here's a link:

Anyone else know more about this product?

Thanks,

 

hmm
that vs. hondata
i want some prices!

 

AEM said it will be released in December and the retail price of the Street Verison will be $1868.

Kinda pricey in my opinion...no?
The street price should b a few hundred less though right?

 

i wonder if it gives the same Guaranteed 10-15whp as their cold air intake does...

Hondata isnt a different ECU, its a stock Honda ECU modified to accept program changes.

 

The cost of hondata will be much less than the AEM for people who
already have a pre-96 ECU. All others might think twice however.

I stand behind hondata as one of the best tuning tools out there.
Will have to wait and see what AEM has to offer.

Someone buy it and report!!

 

i was talking to a friend who own a shop and he said that it's going to cost about $1300.00.

 

yeah aem for almost 2Grand, i doubt it i was guessing around 1300 myself... you wouldn't have to buy a obd1 , all you would need is a harness...


but what things does this do that hondata don't....

i think the aem has boost contol, but i'm not sure.

 

If you compare the features of the Hondata Stage IV to AEM's then the AEM looks like a better deal since they will have comparable flexability but the AEM will be cheaper than the quoted retail price.

 

But not everyone will need/want the fullprogrammability that is offered.
Some/most will want to save money and have a good tuned ecu rather
than be able to adjust settings on their own. sometimes its better that way
anyway, i know too many people who like to "tinker" so to speak

 

Guilty as charged...

 

exactly. The majority of people do not need that much flexibility, and a Hondata 2b tuned is plenty for most. Too much tinkering in the wrong hands leads to a lot of blown motors, poor power, and poor drivability.

 

for 2G's i would go with the power fc! and get the commander with it!

 

what's the avg costs of the hondata stage 2b?

 

Whats the limit on boost with the FC? 12psi isnt it?

IMHO, tuning with a handheld programmer sucks ***

 

2b for OBD1 = ~650
2b for OBD2 = ~1050-1200 (depending on cost of ECU)

 

you're including injectors and other needed (but not apart of Hondata itself) items in that price, yes?

 

no. this is just for the hondata as sort of a direct comparison since not too many
engine management systems come with fuel system parts

 

k, cause those prices seem a bit high compared to what my local friends here have been purchasing them for. Then I remembered you are quoting MSRP

 

for $1800 i can get the speed pro system....

 

For $1800 I can get a Motec M4 PRO....

 

i think this system looks good..and will be better for me(and other obd 2) users..
it will be a little easier than hondata i think

 

The AEM is sequential, so add another $700 to get the sequential Speed Pro. The AEM plugs into stock sensors with stock harness, so it is a bit easier to install.

 

guess i'll wait for someone to get one, so then i can decide what i want...

aem/hondata.
