I had the FI/C tuned by PTuning and currently am revamping my setup. I have an E-Manage Ultimate waiting if I actually decide to finish the car again. The whole 2-step launch was enticing, but I really liked that the stock ECU controlled the start-up ignition. I hated cranking the car for 15-20s with the FI/C.

 

Should not generalize like that.

My stock 350z tops out at 160mph.

My tC @ 250whp

Again, not true. PTuning kit, as well as Decendant, and an upgraded turbo on a Dezod kit....will all Make WHP long past the stock 6250rpms. Why because the turbo is not running out of steam. Especially if it's something like a GT3076r or bigger.

Do you think PTuning would have taken home the 2008 Redline TA championship if they left the Ultimate with stock parameters and just boost? Or better yet ran just an F/IC? Highly doubt. Even my home Track which is Round #4 on the Redline TA list...has a straight that's capable of 160+mphs. Imagine everyone else running 140-160mph on it, and your car is dying at the half way point because you can't go past 127...

 

I'm waiting on the unit from Dezod

 

ultimate.

 

and speed cut is good..... when running from cops... my friend joey who is built with sleeves had the FIC.. then tried to outrun a charger sherriff and got owned because FIC fails and cant remove the speed cut lol

 

LMAO fail...dang i would be mad to get caught when i know my car is ***** fast

 

Cost. The F/IC with a PnP harness is around $600 new, the Ultimate is around $1,000.

 

Something is definitely wrong if it was taking that long to start the car, and it's not the F/IC. I had the F/IC and never had starting issues. My car fired up right away everytime.

 

Toan said it was different from FI/C to FI/C. Some would do it and some wouldn't. I had 2 different boxes and both did it. Oh well.

If I decide to get another turbo kit soon, I'll use the Ultimate. Otherwise, I may just pony up for a standalone later.

 

my car took like six seconds to fire up on FIC

 

Yea sometimes it would work in 5-6 seconds. It seemed like every time I took a girl out or my parents it'd take 10+ seconds of cranking. Kinda embarassing and the looks I got from my pops weren't good. Haha he doesn't care if I mod my car... if it works.

 

My car is taking forever to start i dunno why!

 

aem ftl.

 

ill get the ultimate

 

Yea get the ultimate for those goals. As explained by Travis and Mike, both are not a lose, you just have to decide what your truely looking to do. BTW Travis can I stop by and run on your course one of these day :p, classic good vid.

 

Honestly For alot of the guys im tuning! They love the FIC!

Using o2 maps you virtually make things perfect!

Sure its harder for the tuner! But when you know what your doing the results are awesome! I make great power on the fic! Stability and driveablilitY! Not saying the ulitmate is ____! But the guys ive tuned dont need it! They want a car that runs like a factory turbo car and the aem fic gives you that! For alot less money!

Everything has its place in this market! And right now the fic is a great gift to the scion world!

 

Joey? With the black Tc? You met him? I had asked him before and he said he didnt know you. The one that works at jiffy lube? The day I raced his car at the track I asked him an e said he never met you. Weird? Anyways how much power is this other Joey? Sorry for the thread Jack

 

i wish i lived in a tc tuner friendly area...lol...im in ny and my place is rippmods....they said they can do the emanage....

 

Nice one.. OWNED!
