What's my best long term bet?

I am a second year college student looking to self tune my car. I am NA, with a MD plenum spacer 5/16, an injen CAI, and have an underdrive pulley set not yet installed.

I plan to get a tunable system, and start to slowly replace my injectors, camshafts, and other internals.

Any advice?

 

If you plan to add things in the future, don't do the reflash...you would have to do this each time you add some extra mods.

I'd recommend the Utec over the Emanage. The Utec is more "tunable" and more consisten, where as with the Emanage...the ECU can still take over and mess up the tune.

PM me for a price on the Utec.

 

does the utec use stock sensors?

if so i'm leaning toward emanage. Anyone have first hand experience?

Lemme know the deealllll

 

UTEC all the way. I just did some changes to mine today.

Emanage will need a lot of custom wiring, resistors for the coil packs and is just overall harder.

 

You sure about all of this? I read about a very successfull EU install on a 03 Z and I didn't read about any custom wiring or resistors. He was able to change the a/f and advance ign with no problems

 

Yes I am sure.

The ultmate does not need the resistors but the blue does. Yes you have to wire it into the ECU, the only other option is to get the autosport harness and wire it into that. Greddy does not make a plug and play EM for the VQ.

 

Yes, i agree, the extra harness is necessary but it can be plug/play with the right harness and I think the ign advance can work.

They aem looks promising too. Especially if they offer it plug/play for $500!

 

long term user friendly = utec

 

It is very user friendly.

 

for reasons that have been stated in a dozen other threads, the utec IS the best choice as mentioned above

 

what about technosquare?

 

Utec's for cheap = PM me

 

A flash is not the same thing. The UTEC can be tuned as where when you get the flash you are done...
