No one buys JWT when SZ & ZTuner are half the price and
more up to date.
You forget that you must buy a Boost control soleniod, MAP
sensor, UEGO in addition the the $1600 for the AEM EMS and
then the average joe is forced to pay to get it tuned pretty
much. How much does that cost then?The stock ECU has a lot of tuning parameters and a higher
resolution than most standalones on the market. I would agree a standalone is preferable after a certain point,
because of the consolidation of everything into
one...Instances where someone wants 10 Defi gauges (crazy ridiculous price) when they can just view everything in 1
screen from the standalone...hardcore racing (data logging is
awesome) etc.. Regarding tuning, this is really the main issue. I witnessed the
owner of DRT here in Queens (supposedly the inspiration for
the original F&F movie) detonate the crap out of a friend of a
friend's Supra with twin HKS 2835 turbos and maxed out motor
build. The guy finally thought to check the plugs when the
car wouldn't hold idle, found half the plug blew off the
electrode tips and all of them had cracked ceramic insulators.
Replaced plugs, continued to raise boost and detonate at
higher RPM's and still continue disregarding it..outcome:
700something WHP, motor that has scratched cylinder walls
from blown off electrodes, top piston skirts starting to melt,
barely any compression due to all this, all of the money gone
into machining, arias pistons, pauter rods, etc & labor all gone
down the drain. So in conclusion, for the normal person, I am
not sure whether we can trust anyone other than say SZ to
travel and tune cars, plus they have to know how to use the
AEM software.
