Guys I need your advice

My engine is now rebuilt B16a : cp 9:1,eagle rods,cometic gasket,arp bolts

Future plans : T3/T4 60
Goal is 300hp

I am looking at the AEM engine management standlone ,I know its one of the best on the market but my research has lead me to AEM Fuel/Ignition.

I know its cheaper and I rather keep my ECU.

What are the pro's and con's to the f/ic and is it recommended for my setup?

 

youre going a little overboard for 300whp...that can be achieved with a stock B16 tuned on Crome

 

Thanks for the info ,but the engine is already built with 9:1 pistions,,I looking at AEM,, but need to know if to go with the f/ic??

 

no the f/ic is not a good tuning solution for a turbo honda. it is a piggy back unit and as always with piggy back units, you have the stock ecu you are trying to get around and it just ends up with unknown conditions and limitations.

chip an obd1 ecu and run a proper ems, ie hondata, neptune, crome...others. or run the full standalone aem ems.

 

^^Great...is there anyone currently using the AEM f/ic ?
