EM: Engine management

[Anita]

John Finnell "Featherfoot" retired from the business a while ago. I havent talked to him for over two years now so I dont know how he is doing - I know there were some health issues. John also was the creator of Power Vault Mufflers.

Alpine says they have a Uni Chip that will work but too much more power will trash the tranny and there are NO performance parts for it.

There's always megasquirt

Yup, Megasquirt is the way to go.

Ive been working with the greaddy E manage ultimate for some time on my Mazda, I was thinking of trying one on the VX to see if it will work. Acording to the manual it says isuzu. Since my warrentys done im thinking a S/C settup, why not I have one on my RX-8, RXP [jetski] and work at a high performance shop. I havent read around much on the sight, whats been done and whats been broken because of it. How are the alpine kits, i dont like the fact that there none intercooled.

It CAN be done, as the MoonCraft VX did it, but wow was that pipe routing a rat nest. A front bumper clip also had to be created to extend the front end for the FMIC. I would LOVE to throw a turbo into the VX, but I am skeptical about an automatic tranny with use of a turbo. It just takes the FUN out of the whole driving experience without manual shifting with that boost, heh. I have been in serious internal debate about adding a FMIC to my WRX but from my research, nothing is gonna beat a solid TMIC with the factory scoop design. Owing a WRX that is made to be modded only creates a larger void for me when it comes to the VX. So much can be done to one, but I want to incorporate it all into the other as well. *sigh*
