AUTRONIC Info PLEASE
Does anybody have solid information and experience on using the SM2 on a 13BT?
This thread is a co-thread to my ECU-switching one. I'm trying to get information on the SM2 to make a solid choice between this and the TEC3.
- Does the SM2 accept a 0-5V wideband (with customizable AFR/voltage?)
- Does the SM2 allow for individual injector timing or does it only tune to AFR (which I personally consider dangerous under boost) ?
- Does the SM2 allow the use of the stock CAS and are any adapters or additional options required to make this work?
- What has been your experience with this ECU, and would you recommend it strongly to me?
And finally, where can I / should I get the ECU from if I were to go Autronic?
Thank you!

Wait till someone gets their hand on the v1.99 chip...
I don't care too much with the Electromotive crap.
I'm waiting for the v1.99 myself if Haltech doesn't turn the company around soon.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Cant comment on the TEC product range.
The Autronic's only *bad* point is 0-1v range for WB EGA input, this used to be an issue untill Innovate Motorsports came along (read auto tuning).
You can get a special cable from them to go of the analog output of their meter (inexpensive) that solves all ground offset issues and scaling issues to be totaly comaptible with the Autronic SM2 Means you can auto tune without buying/renting and Autronic meter and do it very very cheaply.
I will be verifying this *myself* in a month or so once my new block is back together.
You can use the std CAS without mods on the V1.99chip, injector timing can be changed but I'm pretty sure not individualy thaough you can trim each injector on an individual basis.
Experiences: Very positive in my case, support used to be an issue but this has progressed laeps and bounds recently
Buying: If in America I recommend you pm Enzo250 of the forum ! Reasons, price is good and local support...

Yes, the AEM section seems to confirm a spotty record at best.
I second the motion for an Autronic subsection. It seems that we have at least a few happy owners here, and interest from prospective buyers. A new subsection is not going to detract from anything, and it will definitely make it easier to collect relevant information.

One advantage of the Autronics unit over the Tec is that it has more aux outputs which is very useful for street cars imo.
As for the subject of the thread, I want to see an Autronics section myself!
I think AEM for their own section because of some prominent Mods that were supporting the unit back in the day.
I think RICE RACING needs to push some of his weight around for this.

Who all is running an SM2? Me, Enzo, Rice Racing, Wanklin? Soon Ted.

Yes, I am considering getting rid of the AEM subforum, just in case you were wondering. The more subforums, the more difficult it is for me to moderate, and the more difficult for you guys to navigate.
The bottom line is that only the Administrators can add and delete forums, so it's not really up to the Moderators, anyway.

The general EMS forum works just fine, and the existence of this particular thread proves it. Many of the subforum requests are from those who would not even visit the forum themselves, much like how you may have noticed that many people on this forum show interest in a particular new product, but then don't buy it once it is produced. Additionally, I get many requests for subforms by vendors so that they can have a back-door method to advertise for free on this forum, and/or use this forum's assets as a host for their business. They even so kindly volunteer to moderate the subforum, lol.

Hopefully, the new chip & software will result in enough new message posts that a new subsection is created. In the meantime, I'll continue foraging for information...
