Thank you for providing this information to us, you are an asset to the site.

There are currently two camps in the as far as engine management around here. There is a group currently attempting to "crack" the secrets of the stock (OBD1 only at this point) ECU, so that eventually we might be able to simply write to it whenever we modify our cars. Another group has given up entirely on the stock ECU and are now looking into various aftermarket alternatives.

The stock ECU as it sits appears to be a very large bottleneck to HP, I belive (and I am not alone) that simply running a well tuned aftermarket ECU would yeild another 30HP at the crank. This in part due to the fact that the stock ECU appears to yank timing at some very wonky times.

That said, I am curious what you think of your autronic unit, specifically...

1. What version are you using.
2. How difficult was the wiring/tuning process.
3. What was your cost, at the end of the day, for the autronic unit and associated installation/tuning.


Thanks in advance!
