i dont sell them. im not a trader...

for me if a driver needs vast tc input to cure over zealous driving then they should think about whether the car is overpowered for their ability. and consider minimising power until the driver is on top of the car..

 

the link software allows partial locking of the map.

 

lol

 

So...

 

Are you seriously trying to tell us that you're not trying to promote Link and AEM ecu's because that's what you map?

 

I take it you've never had any wheel spin or been aided by any additonal means other than your right foot and steering input? Do you actually ever map any TC for anyone or just tell them that the cars too overpowered for them if they need it?

If I've spent the kind of money that it costs to build a car properly, then for the small additional amount of money that it costs to give you a better system, then I'm more than happy to pay it.

If by wanting better systems, it means you can say I'm not a good driver, then fair enough. I'll still live.

 

With regards to the beautiful customer friendly GUI, what's the point of it if it's locked? For a customer, it wouldn't make a difference if you had to map the car using binary if you can't actually get to it. So what was your point on that again?

 

Look, all I'm saying is your clearly very biased to the products that you map. Ryan is the same for the products that he maps. The difference is that Ryan has trader status on this forum which entitles him to chip in to threads. You don't, and at the moment all you've seemed to have done is try to tout the products that you map.

 

If it looks like a trader and smells like a trader....

You need to wake up if you are trying to compare a syvec to a link!! I hope you know where the syvecs board originates from!!

 

Full Traction control using indiv wheel speeds

 

Built in scope

 

Fully configurable on board Data logging with individual choice of logging channels and frequencies

 

Fully configurable knock control

 

Closed loop knock control.

 

3d PID mapping for anything closed loop! (worse thing about the LInks)

 

Cal Switch support for up to 8 maps

 

Limp Map for when an error occurs

 

Configurable Can outputs for allowing customers to run aftermarket dashs unlike the Link that run those crappy displays with the worst screens ever!

 

Fully 3d linearisation for any input

 

Closed loop 4d mappable boost control for phase and antiphase setups.

 

Built in wideband Lambda support

 

I could go on and on but the best bit is they are a UK company so next day hardware support unlike Link!

 

ryan..... there is no doubt the solaris ecu is a great product... its just the one trick pony shoving it down everyones throat.. im tired of the tech showdown now... perhaps i should start using solaris ecu?

 

fact is the linkg4 does what i ask. it does it well. and as of yet there has not been any problems.. end of..

 

perhaps we come from different worlds.. my guys dont like go go gadget 200maps and 20 different boost settings.. they like smooth running powerful no fuss motors.. that start well from cold.. lol

 

i wont be saying anymore about ecus now.. its boring..

I'd have thought 'your guys' like fuses that don't blow and lighting at the push of a switch seeing as you're an electrician? :p ;)

Is he not allowed to trade or come across as a trader on other forums?? what does the AEM forum got to do with mkivsupra.net?

 

This fucking witch hunt is getting a bit silly now, if he gives his opinion in threads does not mean he's trading does it?? Then you can call me, you and every other member with an opinion a trader. As far as my build thread goes, parts and brand names will be mentioned cos I want to know wtf is going on seeing I'm 400 miles away.

 

Chill dude.

Hmmm, I think you may want to follow that last bit of your own advice just a little there....

 

He has also stated that he does cars as a 'hobby', if he receives payment for doing it then that would class as either a hobbyist or a trader, of which he has neither at present...

 

I don't think you will find me listed on any automotive website offering services.... so that leaves you and every other member with an opinion then....

 

It isn't a witch hunt..... The best analogy I can come up with, is you walking into my house and telling me what I can and can't do in my house...

I am quite chilled bloke, so chilled in fact I'm not gonna bother to google you and see what comes up :)

 

By all means do so, I'll even provide you my full name if you want, in fact the top 3 links that are related to me are

 

Linkedin -> IT related

And a post I made on a forum in 1995 (Again, IT related to Big Endian Linux and MIPS linux compliation :))

 

Oooh, and an emanage post I made when I was having hassles fitting my OWN emanage a few years back :)

 

There was also that one porn page appearance but that is a different story ;)

No, but it's useful to know that the strong slagging off of some engine management systems also happen to be the ones he doesn't make any money off of (and someone else on here does, with a proven track record of positive results).

 

I don't mind people having a vested interest and can demonstrate with evidence why the thing they offer/use is 'better', but simply acting high and mighty, dispensing advice from upon high while pretending to be "just another punter" isn't on.

 

Still, it's out now, the advice offered can be viewed in full context.

heres the story...

 

since ive been racing since i was 8.

 

at the at of having cars i couldnt afford a garage to fix my shit.. fair enough. so relayin upon what the years in racing had taught me i began to tackle cars jobs.. i think the first think was a CV joint on my nova.. hahah.

anyway.. by the time i could afford to have a garage work on my cars(electrical apprenticeship finished) i was the point of non garage work.. (carbs porting suspension etc and generally applying ideas from racing)

so it carries on from there..

bascially im a hands on type of person.. and not one to waste money.

skip like 2years and after a host succcessful cars came along a car that had this "standalone ECU" witch craft? lol well AEM actually.. on an RB25 in a nissan s13. the expert mapper at the time was rising sun performance... who made a mess.. so i gingerly looked into the software and gently broke it down into sections and was amazed how adjustable everything was.. (coming from carb and modded dizzy units) had very good results from the AEM at that time. and started to really get into the software..(2003) so from then till present day have been mapping ecus.

since then have just kept doing it really.. its never been my business and never will be.. my workshop is my second home and i just love cars.. end of really... and if people like my work enough to let me build them cars then so be it..

 

i dont think at any point ive slagged the solaris off.. in fact i am quite impressed with its capabilities.. (chatting with paul at ZEN the night we borrowed his RR)

all ecus have a capability limit and im sure one day im going to bump into something that a Link cant handle.. then ill look elsewhere.. doesnt really matter either way..

 

lastly.. its actually quite hurtful to hate on someone before youve seen their work... yes the mkiv board is a close knit community.. but lets not let this end up like how the mazda rotary club boys got after i did the RX7..

 

fact is .. you could be the absolute guru of x,y,z forum, until oneday someone that has treble your knowledge joins up and makes everyone look a muppet.. im not saying that is me.. far from it.. but and big but,, this forum is not the be all and end all of the world of supra tuning..

thats my bit..

 

oh and the MBAutomotive came about as a laugh years ago when a friend made some stickers.. beats writing MARTIN BATTYE WOZ ERE on a car eh.. esp as most people take the piss outta my surname.!
