Yeah, they're both aftermarket engine management systems intended to replace your original ECU.
The benefit is that they allow you to completely mess up, erm I mean tune, your spark and fuel :) Unless you're going to make heavy engine mods, go forced induction, or just like to spend endless hours tapping numbers into a lap top I wouldn't bother! Saying that, I probably will replace my OEM ECU post-IVA, but mainly because I'm a bit of a masochist and like playing around with electrickery :D |

My old Subaru Impreza WRX (as my avatar) had some fancy fuel management system and was pumping out around 350BHP, it had a "Dual map " setup where i could use on one setting for "Road" :rolleyes: (mild boost) use and another setting for performance :D (WILD boost) including launch control etc . Could something like this be implemented into one of these Fuel management systems that have been mentioned. Would probably only realy be worthwhile if the motor was turbo'd :confused: . |
Would almost be worth grabbing an engine from something else in the mx5 line up.Model
