check tripoint engineering's website (www.Tripointengineering.com, I think...) they have some a catalog you can download that gives a quick overview of the system. Look around on the website for info on it too, I haven't been there in a while.

Electromotive... like $3000, all I know off the top of my head, I will research it more. My friend has one on his GTi-R Sentra.

The actual Tec3 is here... http://www.electromotive-inc.com/products/tec3.html

I don't think you'll need a TEC-III for your application. Why spend $3000 on something that won't help you out. If you are really looking at going to a Programmable ECU then start off with something less complicated and cheaper.

I wouldn't put one on until you go turbo or Supercharged.

If you are willing to spend the money, I believe the Tec3 to be awesome. You basically simplify everything in the engine down to a minimum number of sensors. NOTHING with your stock ECU remains.

But this is only if you are willing to spend your money.

Like I said, I'm talking to my friend about it, who has one, so if you have any specific questions, let me know so I can ask him.

I do E6K kits for $1300. You can get a greddy E-manage for around $800. Other piggy back styles for around $800 as well.

What is it you are going for, what kind of power?

This might need to be moved to the FI section...

But since the E-manage is a piggyback won't it have trouble overriding the stock open loop mode at WOT?

I was about to buy one today until I heard it was just a piggyback. Tell us more about it.

He's not Turbo, or N2O, or Supercharged......this is not FI..

Nothing that changes a signal will have trouble with WOT... I don't know where people are getting that idea.. it's not true.

The E-manage is a signal modifier and allows you to change timing and fuel based on the base maps in the computer. Its like an S-AFC and MSD-BTM built in one. The software isn't too complex and it does help for FI applications.

if you put a teck3 you will not pass smog. usually they hook up a OBD2 scanner under your dash. and with the stand alone, it will show wierd readings and will cause you to fail.

If I was going with a 1.8L BP with a VJ-20 turbo at starting 5lbs of boost, with intercooler .... ( I am being specific, as this is the set up I will be using ) would it be better to use the piggyback s-afc or the 1300 buck stand-alone u are talking about ,, what is the difference, I what will I individually be controlling ,.. considering I had a budget of 1300 , but did not have to spend that much if not needed....

well high compression pistons are almost mandatory if you wanna hit 200 and still stay NA.also, you might wanna invest in an FS-ZE intake manifold from corksport. and also headers of some kind. from there you'll need some adjustable cam gears, and id go with Haltech E6K to tune your ride.
