    As old as these cars are, and how decrepit our stock ECU's are, you'd think that 20 years later, there would be a simple, easy, bolt in standalone ECU that didn't cost over a grand, that all you needed to do was set injector size and have some ability to adjust the airflow measured in a variety of ways, while keeping timing inline with stock programming for any given output.

    The AEM is still the best solution as an end all be all. It just isn't nearly as easy to use as it should be, not to mention cost prohibitive with all the extra things you need to buy to really get the full use of it.

    So would you all rather see a stand alone ecu thats more user friendly and cost effective? Starting from the ground up im sure something impressive will come out of it. Things like wideband or any other after market sensors can be taken into consideration, laptop or physical adjustments for whatever parameters. Im confident I can come up with some easy to use but flexible software.

    Auto learn based on some initial setup and a couple pulls seems possible. Then you could use that map as a base if you want to fine tune things or make multiple maps for various conditions, or just leave it be?

    people want something they can install in 10 minutes, pay $100 for, have auto tune, and zero driveability problems....not happening.

    What I would like to see someone do is build a montero ecu kit that didn't have a huge markup. Hello mail order tunes...
