Need Help Picking an EMS - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yoda · 03-29-2013, 04:40 PM

As the title says, I need a little guidance. I have been looking around and can't make up my mind as which unit I should get.
My goal is 300-350whp with a gt28rs turbo. I will only keep the car another 3 years then get my dream car...*cough* NSX *cough*....

Just wanna get the views of my comrades as which unit is better for my application. Any help is appreciated

I know garm now has a boomslang pnp for AEM EMS which is like a stand alone/piggyback hybrid

Haltech is always recommended but that can be a super pricey setup and I think then you would need to still create a customer harness

I swear by my AEM EMS.

I know Haltech is good, and I had a MoTec in the Scion tC, that was also bulletproof and never failed.

just saw an NSX for 19k the other day, with carbon fiber front cover and hood.

I am waiting for the new one

I am personally going to go the Haltech route. You can pick up the Platinum 1000 and the wire loom which you can terminate yourself. They talk about it in their videos at the bottom of the product page:

Platinum Sport 1000/

I use Haltec Sprint 500, just purchased a boomslang blank harness and wired it into that.

Do you have them in stock now? The only thing is that I heard it cannot control VVTI. Not sure if that would influence the power output much.

Yoda · 04-02-2013, 07:31 AM

Gonna be getting the haltech today

Focus_Sh1ft · 04-04-2013, 11:54 AM

So why'd you go Haltech? Can it control VVTI? I'd think any engine management with auxiliary outs (all of them, I'd hope) can be configured to control it.

They can, and mine does. PnP harnesses are made to order.

Where'd you get it? Did we get a chance to earn your business?

I got it from one of my friends. He had one new in box since he went with the sport 1000 instead and sold me the sprint 500 for well...$500 lol.
