Rusty,
Thanks Mate that's the sort of info I was
looking for. If I was in the US I wouldn't even consider anything else - it's
just the exchange rate, import duty and GST that makes it a tougher
choice.
I will just have to budget for it.
I was aware the O2 sensor makes the tuning job
a lot easier, (someone please jump in here if I'm wrong) but thought there was
the facility for using an O2 sensor for tuning, but if it's imminent I
could use that for my demonstrator engine and get the EM2 down the
track.
You say the EM2 is not quite ready for release just
yet?
How far down the track might that be for the EM2
and updated Auto tune ECU - your estimate, I don't want to bug Tracy
unnecessarily, when you guys have all the info.

Here's another question - having little knowledge
in the area, I'm considering Tracy's ECU and the EM2.
What are your appreciations of the
products.
Is it the EM2 which provides the auto tune
capability ?

Hi George,
Not much new to add to what's already been said, other
than to agree that it's a good combo. I also agree that you need to plan
to expend some effort to calibrate the EM-2, or it won't be quite right.
Again, this has to do with the fact that he made it able to work with just
about any sensor you could want to stick in there, and even be able to adjust
for slight differences between individual sensors of the same
type.
From what Tracy has said, the auto tune feature
will only work with current EC-2's if you have an EM-2. In the future,
he plans to have an updated version of the EC-2 that can accept an O2 sensor
input, and do the auto tune function without an EM-2. Even given the
choice, it sounds like doing it via the EM-2 is the best way to go, since you
can watch what it's doing in real time (so I've heard). I know
Tracy was making some changes in the auto tune feature before really
releasing it, so I haven't seen a chip yet. Maybe it will get here in
time for the next intake :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (thanks for the address
Jerry)
