Hi, Im looking for help from somebody.
I have a 2010 ford focus ses which i am turboing. I want to run a piggyback F/IC on it. When I called AEM to ask them what F/IC I need they asked me whether my car was hall or mag. Im not really sure what hall or mag means, I think it has to do with the cam sensor. Does anybody know whether a 2010 ford focus is hall or mag? or does anyone know what F/IC i should get?
thanks
There are sooooo many things the aem wont be able to deal with like the adaptive learning trying to over come the aem settings and many many other things
Don't listen to Tom, go standalone. It will do way more then the stock ecu will ever think about. Tom talks shit on any standalone that anyone has brought up. His way or the highway.
Map is much more consistant then maf, but most standalones you can run either one, or both or multiple of both.
Map shows volumetric efficency of a engine, maf does not. You can also get knock sensors on most of the standalones under "6500" now. Sometimes you can run a ford knock sensor, some you have to run the standalones brand of knock sensor.
I'm not sure why aem is labeling this as a piggyback, if I recall it replaces the entire ecu.
Not sure where you get MAP is more consistant , most standalone with MAP it works of hugh Vac spikes from MAP drops , or off the TPS which has nothing to do with the amount of fuel thats needed , I just looked at Haltech , Pectel , AEM , MBE which are a few of the most popular and none offer a knock sensor unless you go to there rece or pro kits which are VERY costly
To each there own , if a standalone is your thing its your money and do as you chose , people understimate the stock ECU and how powerfull they are and going to a standalone will make you no more power or TQ then the stock ECU with a good tuner
You can get the SCT prp self tuner to do your own tuning for I think 795.00 you cant get any standlone for that
Manufactures now a days seem to be using both MAP and MAF. Honda is one example.
In the OP case he should just tune using the stock ECU. It will meet all his needs and and be cheaper at the same time.
