That's what i thought lol. I have a plug and play harness for the haltech e6x that i am willing to let 'go' for cheap cheap cheap. Its for the mr2 which doesn't do me any good.

In no particular order:

Aem
Haltech Sport series


Too many of the other systems, there is "too much fucking around", or they have quirky software etc.

A lot of new guys on the market as well... but why get into something 'unknown'.

So if one of the above two work for your application, you cant go wrong.

Junk software was my pet peeve...

But if I recall correctly, there was also something wrong with the actual hardware...

I run a Vpro 3.3.

If you're looking for something good bang for the buck that you can play with yourself i would run an AEM EMS. Power FC is half decent too.

Thats correct, it was a combination of both a hardware failure and un-user friendly software...

Im looking at the plug and play AEM EMS looks to be fairly straightforward...

Yeah, and you can often pick em up used on ebay for a deal...

Got one for my 2Jz for like $800, and one for my older Mustang for $900....

Power FC here. Easy to install, software pretty straight forward. Not as many features as some others might have though.

All depends on your wants/needs and budget.

Hey Toma, you wouldn't recommend an AEM EMS for a daily, right? Is it very hard to dial in cold start ups?
