Re: Project Crossfire - a Rotrex Supercharged Limited!
Not having any luck with the two times I tried quickly throwing in the NA ecu and going into developer mode with the Star Das. Das locks up on me and I can't get in to change anything. That is the only hurdle to using the NA ECU along with an AEM on an NA turbo or SC upgrade. What I need to do is use DAS to change the magic setting to get rid of the dreaded load limit reached problem. Other than that, I can tune it all day long with the AEM.
As far as the AEM is concerned, right when I switched from the NA ecu to the SRT-6, one of my driving forces was leaning on the AEM so much and the fact that I hit a bump one day and my motor died. I since fixed that and learned to keep a little pressure on the harness to prevent any loose conection from losing contact. The AEM is now proving as trust worthy as one can expect and not giving me any issues giving me a new found confidence.
So at this point, the SRT-6 ecu is still the best fit to go FI on an NA. Once I figure out the problem with getting into the NA, I'll be a happy camper if for no other reason than to play around, not to mention what it could do for others.
Still, for others that are not bound by their own personal demons to do their own tuning like me, you could always go to one of the big boys. In the end, there is nothing stopping anyone from swapping an SRT-motor into an NA, adding a turbo or other Fi to either.
Hell, I've been toying with the idea of mounting a turbo where the muffler is to see what it can do. I've never done a rear mounted turbo before and it looks so darn simple compared to what I had to do with the Rotrex. I might just go there after the first of the year when things calm down for me a bit.
