Ok. Is a 1990 Auto Integra ECU chippable. I started to read over at PGMFI.org, and confused the shit out of myself. How much does Ghettodyne or Turboedit cost?
TurboEdit is free. It is only ROM editing software, however, and you'll have to buy the hardware to go with it.
I've heard of people using the pr4 ecus with turboedit, and the auto to manual conversion can be done easily. I am personally using a PM6, TurboEdit, LM-1 Wideband, and Moates Ostrich for RTP tuning. Works great, except my idle is still off a little. I'm not quite sure why yet, though it was much better in Denver for some reason...go figure.
Awesome! I will definetly try to borrow one from someone local. My good friend has a brand new AEM one that he isn't using, I will try to snake that off of him. And also, do you know if E-Manage is OBD0 compatible, or should I just sell the E-Manage and go a completley different route. Only reason I am wondering about the E-Manage so much is that I already have it!
The AEM UEGO is a good wideband controller from what I've heard. Pricey, though, so don't break it, lol. I am using an Innovate LM-1, it works well, but the controller is a bit bulky compared to most other options out there. A budget route to the wideband would be the LC-1, but you either need to purchase a gauge to keep an eye on it, or send the analog signal to datalogging software, because it doesn't have a display. The upside is that it is only $200. I'm pretty sure most piggybacks are only obd1 compatible, not obd0. You probably won't be able to use it.
Ok, so no FMU. With out it being tuned before the use of the FMU, it's pretty much pointless.
Yes, the FMU is pointless if you have ACTUAL fuel management.
In your position, if you want to do it the budget route, get your auto pr4 ecu converted for manual, and get it chipped and a datalogging port installed. Then use turboedit to tune with. The newer open source turbo edit has a datalogger built in, so it's pretty easy to tune with that. If you want to spend the extra cash, convert to obd1, as the tuning options are much better going with obd1. I like turboedit, don't get me wrong, but a LOT more people, specifically good tuners, are more familiar with Crome, and the tools that Crome has make it a much more complete tuning solution. I hope to make the conversion soon, but lack of funding is keeping me from doing so. For turboedit, there are a FEW bugs, but they haven't been an issue for me. And the cool thing about opensource is the fact that you can add stuff to make the software more tailored for your needs. I'm writing code to add an EGT to the datalogger for turboedit, but school projects are keeping me preoccupied.
