That's it?? why do you want a management system then? are you planning on some other mods?

Re: Engine Management System, (CarbonCivic)
My suggestion would be, wait until you have everything you want done, done. Then have your car dyno tuned. Find a very good dyno tuner and you will see much better horsepower gains than you would with a EMS on a stock/basic bolt on engine. Just a suggestion though. EMS are best when used with a FI setup.

^ What he said.
Honestly man, you could do just as good as a EMS if you went with Uberdata, Hondata, or even a VAFC hack (well obviously thats the lowest but you get the idea). With either of those youll get well to where you want to be. EMS is for if your boosting insane or something.

hahaha, how much money do you have? Hondata is the best out of all three and the most expensive. Uberdata is good also but has its down sides too. (I don't know much about Uberdata) and a VAFC would be the cheapest route, although, it is still a very good device. It also depends on what you have done to your car.

Re: Engine Management System, (CarbonCivic)
i dont think you quite get it, by just adding a mangement system your not going to increase your horsepower output by any more than maybe 5 if its tuned well. The point of an EMS is to manage the mods you already have, such as turbo jrsc etc. For 20 whp your gonna have to spend some money, for bang for the buck go nitrous, for a little more expensive route, but no filling up the bottle etc, go w/ a junkyard turbo and uberdata ems and run about 5-6 psi thatll net you about 50whp, just read up, plenty of info here, turbod16, etc, good luck
