As I am sure many of you have come to the crossroads of what to choose for engine management, you have found that a standalone, although the best alternative, is a bit of a pain to put in the car.
The learning curve may be steep, and the WIRING is daunting to many. So far, for the FWD BG chassis, we've had two solutions:
1. Make a brand new harness from scatch
2. Modify the stock harness to work with the MS
Option 1 is nice as it's brand new wiring and you don't get to touch your stock harness but at the same time you have to run this new harness, find pigtails, and finally it's not all that cheap.
Option 2 is cheaper but in the end you end up with no way of reverting back to stock if anything goes wrong
I was faced with these issues when building my own MS and I knew there had to be a better solution for a true PNP setup. So after some research, and getting to know the platform in and out, I am very proud to present a standalone option that will make SAFCs, GTX ECUs, and any other form of standalone a thing of the past for those looking for management.
The pictures below speak for themselves. You will no longer have to splice wires or run another harness. If you want to keep your VAF, this unit is as simple to install as plugging it in, running a vacuum hose, and turning the car on. Getting rid of the VAF (for any boosted application) means simply running the wires for an intake air temperature sensor into your engine bay.
If anyone was on the fence for a standalone on a FWD BG platform I think this can put many minds at ease. Reverting back to stock is as easy as unplugging the 2 or 3 ECU connectors.
Further, I plan on developing units that keep the stock ECU in the equation for idle control, AC, operation, and EVEN Automatic transmission control. The prototype in the picture has a 3 slot ECU connector where on manual cars only 2 are used and auto vehicles use all 3.
The pictures below are a first prototype and it will be another month or so before they are ready for sale - but I plan on offering kits with these units making the installation and setup a breeze. Of course the production units will look much cleaner with a longer boomslang harness and a proper cover on the DB37 connector.
I am very happy for this development of the MS system on our cars, let me know what you think.
Cheers,
