Yeah, but like I said, alot of people don't have problems and some do

 

My car alwas starts like a champ in the cold and idles fine but it gets a little finicky in hot weather. I get a fluctuating idle like when im over in Chelan and its 115 degees out its fine under about 95 degrees lol thats on chrome

 

as long as my idle is under 2k ill be fine lol

 

Without a manifold he can't run any ECU. What ITB's run an aftermarket TPS? The ones I've seen and know of are using a Honda TPS on an adapter plate.

A used AEM is about the same price as a used KPro. The MSRP is much higher on the AEM but it does have its advantages. I'm looking forward to real-time tuning my steady-state map.

 

what do you mean he cant run an engine control unit? are we talking about the same thing? because a kpro and an AEM are both ECUs. I see i must have been wrong about TPS, but either way he is going to need some sort of engine management. whats he gunna run if he doesn't run an ecu. . . . . magical fairy dust???

and if the MSRP is higher, doesn't that mean its more expensive if you were to buy them both new?

Sorry, but I feel like your post is full of contradictions.

 

You said he needs a manifold to run KPro. It's a broader statement that he needs a manifod to run ANY kind of management. For those lurking that don't know, a manifold isn't just for KPro, but for everything as long as you're running speed-density (a MAP based engien management).

If you read the second statement I referred to the USED prices where they are about the same. New, the AEM MSRP is higher. USED, they are about the same.

I'm sorry you thought my post was contradictory. I think if you re-read it again you'd see what I'm talking about. Maybe it's still too early in the morning. I need more coffee, too.

 

he ment if i was using a stock manifold i could use a stock ecu, since i have itb's it requires a standalone ecu!

and my TWM's come with there own tps!

 

I thought we were talking about a vacuum manifold instead of a plenum (intake manifold).

 

No I didn't? I thought I made it pretty clear I was talking about a plenum manifold, a manifold that goes on the car, bolts onto the intake side... ya know?

And when you said MSRP you didn't mention used prices, so I guess you could be right there.

This is a pointless argument, the car needs to be tuned if it has ITBs, period. Even if the engine is internally bone stock, which was my initial response to someone asking if he was going to be running aftermarket engine management. Which should be kinda obvious, since he has ITBs. I quit, I've killed enough braincells today

 

No argument here, man. Just ironing ot all the details because you know there are plenty of lurkers here scratching their heads. But check what you first quoted - I compared the used prices as similar because for MSRP the AEM is no bargain. It's even worse if you don't have an application supported car. Suck.

Yeah, definite stand-alone with ITB's. Definitely needs tuned. But how did all this come about in a *show-off"* thread? Carry on everyone!

 

you need some piff lol

 

lets all just have a beer and relax :Beer:

 

This thread is sucking with all the tech talk hahaha

so here is a fun pic of my fiend Andys EG

 

A hatch that can tow!!!!!!!! WOW!!! I think I've only seen that once before. Killer!!! HEHE!!!!

 

he tows a jet ski with it too lol

My teal EG thats my daily I do home depot runs in. You can fit 10 8ft 2X4's in it with the rear hatch closed hahaha I have also had 15 bags of beauty in it with the rear seats out.

These cars are great

 

 

Now that is what I call SSSSLLLLLLLLAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I could ever do that to my car. I just like a smooth ride.

 

That's freakin sick, I love that car. Captiva Blue Pearl is always ftw

 

its not captive blue. donno exactly what color it is. but its like a light baby blue

 

sick eg!!

 

here's mine

 

thats captiva

 

See now that color is nice!!! I wish I would've found one of those. I love that color. Instead I had to settle for my dad's teal green.

 

 

Looking good Tony! I may just have to suffer my flexpipe to go back to being this low to compete



These are 195/55/15 tires btw.
