Not having any a/c in Texas has to be rough though. I live in Houston, and there's no way I can do without it.
Hopefully the can-bus stuff gets sorted out soon, because the rest of it looks great. |

Once more people swap, more demand for working AC will be there and I'm sure Vorshlag could consider making something if they don't have plans to do so already. Last edited by BRZoomTX; 04-21-2016 at 05:18 PM. |

I have a condensor and it's wired.....just don't have the hoses.....the A/C on the toyburu side is all can-bus controlled.....I'll cross that bridge if and when I get there.....Being intentionally a track orientated car a cool shirt was my eventual outcome for the heat of Texas......oops sorry ment A/C compressor.

Sorry for this late reply. I only have time to pop onto forums occasionally. This is very common for ECU manufacturers to not post prices. Can you find the price online for a Mclaren ECU directly? Life Racing? Bosch Motorsport? One answer to why this is is because these ECUs are distributed internationally the pricing can vary due to exchange rates. There are also varying shipping charges. By not posting prices, it eliminates people from price shopping dealers for the cheapest price. If you are really serious about engine control solutions, then feel free to contact a dealer directly and we can help you. These are not simple plug in solutions, so one quote is never the same anyways. I will say that generally if shopping for the cheapest solution, rarely is that the best (or even good) solution. The Emtron ECU system is very comprehensive configuration wise. Some CAN integration is just a small taste of what this ECU can do. |

You have to imagine dozens of potential engine swaps went FI instead due to the inconveniences. All it's going to take is one innovative product that is transparent to capture market share that was left on the table by control freaks that couldn't properly capitalize on a secured market. |

Think about this. What are you going to do with an ECU without connectors, sensors, cables, wiring, etc? You can easily double the cost when you factor in all of this plus options for your specific application. If you are looking for prices just to compare to something cheaper, then good luck. That is not our customer base. The Emtron is a motorsport level ECU system. Not an entry level system. People that are serious about EFI solutions buy ECUs from us because they are smart enough to get in touch with us directly so we can guide them to the proper solution. Just like Slicktop has with his car. If anybody (including you) are interested in having a discussion about EFI solutions for your GT86, please get in touch with Ross from Trust Automotive (who installed an Emtron ECU in Slicktops car), or me directly. I personally would be happy to have a conversation about YOUR specific project, and be happy to quote you the complete costs. It is actually a very good service that makes customers much LESS paranoid about it after talking to someone with the competency to fully understand what needs to be done. I don't call that inconvenient at all. Quite the opposite actually. I think the inconvenience comes from few systems being capable of doing what needs to be done, until now. Currently the Emtron product can support basically any port injected engine on the market. If it sounds like it can be used for your swap project, let us know. |

Realistically, I think you are representing a different market space than what @WRBrzRX is coming from. You're talking about a fully integrated motorsport level ecu. To my understanding, he's just looking for a way to interrupt canbus signals from one ecu and resend the corresponding signals to the other ECU, allowing the stock FA20 systems and say an LS ecu to play well together. The product you're affiliated with is for those that have needs that go beyond a stock ecu. |
