| Anybody heard of this engine managment?? Its supposed to be better than hondata |
|
|
| bigmack000 |
| its better then a haltec. i would recomend it . get the wiring sorted out at fulblown yet |
|
|
| Turbo_Civic92 |
| yup andy is doing a great job rewiring it at fulblown and putting in my car alarm and a few other things |
|
|
| Xcessive |
Its starting to look a lot better.
Can't wait till everything is done.... SHOW AND GO! |

| Autronic is the engine management used by many Formula SAE cars (including UofA). It's by far one of the most versatile stand alone computers available. And if you can afford the exhaust gas analyzer it will create it's own maps to run a certain AFR (which is variable throughout the rev range. Lightspeed Innovations in Red Deer is the only supplier listed by Autronic in Western Canada. |

| never heard any feeback on them, let me know how it goes. |

I've been to Lightspeed for tuning, Cam knows his stuff. It's not cheap but he won't settle for less than 100% quality.
I'll be back there next year with some new toys for him to play with :thumbup: |

Cam Koole does the tuning at Lightspeed Innovations. He knows his stuff. You won't have anything to worry about :thumbup:
He worked on my Skyline, my friend's Miata, my other friend's CA18DET Pulsar, Josh's FD, the 350 RWHP B16 (or B18, I can't remember) Austin Mini, and tons of others. |

| nice man ya im gonna get mine tuned by him and then next spring im puttin in the autronic tune with hopefully all my internals and stroker kit so it should be interesting :thumbup: |

| I would go with hondata, just because its far more proven for your application. |
|
|
| Turbo_Civic92 |
| ya im thinking of the s200 its also ALOT cheaper i dunno we will see |
|
|
| Nightstalker |
| I am also running a C1 in my car that will be turbo next spring, I have a s200 for management. :D |

| nice i plan to do all my internals and stroker bought this winter |

What compression ratio are you going for. And if your going to a stroker setup what kind of R/S ratio are you planning. |

I just can't say enough about the autronic
Most systems on the market map their fuel delivery based upon what is needed in a number they then use various equations to figure out changes to that. What the autronic does as you tune it is actually compute the actual mass of the air that is in the cylinder at any given time for both intake and exhaust powrand compression strokes. Then it can base the maifold pressure with the coolant temperature and air intake temperature. Knowing this it can figure out what air mass is in the cylinder and how much fuel to put with it. So for example your intercooler starts working better because you are moving faster it is going to cange to compensate with that. Just as one of the features. Instanty gives 3.4 bar capability. Infinately adjust any input you could think or imagine against any map you want to place it in. For example in one car I did we are running a meth injection in it. I have the pump come on at anything over 1 psi of boost when it hits 8 at 3000 I then start spraying. Oh yea the timing then advances and I also pull the mixture leaner. If the bottle is empty the boost is held at 7 psi no spray no running the pump empty burning it out. Just one use I came up with one day. I was working on a Celica GT4 RHD and it had folding mirrors well I was borred one day and used one of the outputs to fold the mirrors at 140kph my client loved it. The autronic will also do true antilag this is really cool I have a client with a wrx that now launches the car at .5 bar of boost nice thing is it is all automatic so under 2km/h with the clutch in stand on the accelerator and the car is bouncing off a preset rev limit for launching. It will also work for autoxing keeping the boost up in the corners for a power launch out of the corners. How about traction control its there. NOS control that allows you to pulse a solenoid using duty cycle meaning you can use a 100 horse kit and vary it in starting at say 25 then slowly increment it to 100 over your rpm range or use it to spool a turbo and have it turn itself off after so many PSI you just can't think up all the uses. WOT no lift shifting, With strain shifter this can be set up so you do not ever need a clutch. Flat foot shifting, multiple maps, gear counting full boost control per gear. I can't think of everything it will do Autronic offers a straight Honda unit but IMOP it is best to use the full wire in unit for a variety of reasons the main one being if you decide you are done with Honda plug your old ECU in and pull your unit out and have it installled in your next car. The bottom line is the Autronic is one of those systems that you think up an application and tell the autronic I want you to do this and odds are it will. We have all the equipment in house to look after all the needs of the Autronic.I have tuned many Hondata systems and yes they work but they are merely a hack of the factory computer and limited by that fact. There is no comparison for this unit period. |

| I find it hard to belive that anyone driving a civic needs something like that though. My car is going to be used for road racing and i still don't personally see a need for something like that. The only reason i would invest the money was if i was running some kind of formula car or something else that is never going to see a street. Ya sure its nice, but is it really needed to be able to make your car run properly. I think not. Your better off to save the money and spend it on things like suspension, tires, wheels, brakes.. and most importantly, driving schools. All though, I also see no reason to run things like nitrous, and I would rather be in control of my car then allow the computer to deside what should happen. |
