Dont forget his custom intake mani ^^;;

 

Well I was assuming everyone knew about the infamous custom Intake Manifold

Go for the V4 Wolf. It is only $550 with your V3 trade-in during the group buy on this fourm, and you can keep your current wiring harness and hand controller. The E6X is not as advanced as the V4 Wolf, which is more comparable to the E11.

I think it's because most of the NA owners either don't want to spend a lot of money on their car, or they race in classes that do not allow an EMS conversion.

Yeah, SPiN Racing's Wolf EMS stock-port NA Sport was running even with slightly modified TII's, and he had hardly any good go-fast goodies besides the Wolf. It's one of those things you need to see to believe. However, I would like to point out that the tuning is the hard part with this setup, and is not something that most of the people on this forum can do, especially if they think an AFR meter makes them a tuner.

 

Hmmmm, suddenly I'm interested in an EMS for my '85 SE. If I wasn't up to my ******* in alligators w/my 'vert, I'd buy one this week

 

so a standalone would take me out of street-prep? Does anyone know what classes will take that?

 

According to the SCCA National Solo rulebook I have, any replacement fuel injection computer may be used in Street Prepared so long as it does not allow adjustments that were unavailable to the stock ECU. That is to say, you can have timing, fuel and redline adjustments, but you can't have a computerized boost controller unless the car came with one stock...

 

I don't have the current rules, but isn't a fuel cut defenser function still illegal for Street Prepared? If so, then that would mean that the EMS must have a fuel cut function set to the same boost level as stock... technically.

 

The rulebook I have doesn't mention that specifically. The section I'm reading states, "Alternative computer control modules may be used whenever an equivalent change to the conventional system is allowed. For example, alternate computer module control of ignition settings or fuel injection is allowed. Direct turbocharger boost control by alternate computer control is not, since there is no equivalent mechanical advance."
Unless there is another mention somewhere else that I'm not seeing, it would seem to be pretty open for anything controlling fuel and/or ignition. Is this something that's changed recently? The book I have is 2 years old...

 

Well, I don't have current rules, either, lol. However...

Ref 2002 rules:

14.10 Engine and Drive Train

Found near the end of Paragraph C.

"... Devices known as "fuel cut defensers", and any modifications which alter or defeat the fuel cutoff when it is activated by boost level, are not permitted. "

 

So would unplugging the pressure sensor, which the ecu would see as a default of 4 pounds, be illegal? The pressure sensor is used nearly always for ignition control, so the overall timing could be retarded at the CAS to counteract the inaccurate boost pressure reading.

 

Wow! I didn't notice that. They're pretty rough on you forced-induction types...

 

The way I read it, you can't have anything that alters the stock boost limit. The rules also state that no changes are allowed to the pressure sensors or their location.

The whole point of club racing is to limit the classes to put more emphasis on one's skill as opposed to one's wallet. Besides, it doesn't hurt anything to move up to the next class. I autocross my 1Gen in Prepared just to keep the whiny protesters off my case, and I have just as much fun, I race exactly the same course, and the only difference is the marking on my car.
