Engine Management

Peeps,

I'm getting to the stage of ordering an ECU for running fuelling on toy car's injection.

Originally intended to go for MS, but I don't have that much time, then thought about Emerald (who seem to have quite a strong following), but have now heard about KMS (who seem to do an injection only controller, which is reasonably priced).

Who's used what and any comments welcome. KMS supplier is only about 40 miles from me, Emerald a couple of hundred, but could take car to them to set up properly.

Cheers for your thoughts

ATB

Simon

I would stick with MS but get an LC1 (or two in your case!!).

With a wideband connected the MS is very easy to set up. The WB does the fuelling for you so you just need to start with a conservative ignition map and gradually advance each bin while allowing the WB wide enough scope to adjust the fuelling to compensate.





Summer's here!!!!

I've got an Emerald and it is very easy to fit and map. Their new one using an exhaust sensor is self mapping. They are good at answering questions, email or by phone, and even made up a sensor adaptor for me.

My vote for Vems.

On board wide band control ( x2 if required )

Can upgrade to fuel and Spark later ( utilising a set of later coil packs )

Can run boost control

Only problem is the lack of time to install but have a look on here the wireing pinouts are on there.

Vems Pin out

Or my wireing diagrame

v8 vems

Also got knock control and launch control ( I plan to play with these when time permits. )

Regards

I used an Emerald that I managed to get running fairly well using a narrow band lambda sensor. Had it set up properly at emerald last week and am well pleased.
