Dont worry Frank, I mean Manny, we are working on some new improvements to the system that are going to offer more than just a modulated VVT control. I'm not convinced (b/c of the cam profiles) it will result in much of a gain in ultimate power and/or torque, but should offer some efficiency gains. Hopefully I am wrong though.
Regardless of your opinion, comparing the EFI stand-alone to other stand-alone systems in the same price range (and are actually available and ready to run a 2ZZ engine out of the box) it is
very advanced.
Another important thing to note is that the unit we use is an enrty level model. If the market would bare it we would have used a more advanced unit, like the X3 or 4.0 to start with and then there would be so many features and options it would be borderline rediculous.
Obviously there are many functions the stock ECU will do that our system was never intended for and vice versa.
Some things the stock ECU cannot control that we offer:
Closed-Loop Boost Control (5 maps w/ option to set per gear)
Closed-Loop Wideband Lambda
Engine Protection (self-defined)
DC output or DBW mode (configurable)
Internal Data Logging (that can be used specifically for track analysis)
Oh yeah, AND IT CAN ALL BE TUNED BY THE END USER WITH A EDITOR PROGRAM WHENEVER YOU WANT TO MAKE A HARDWARE CHANGE.
I think this is a dead issue. We're not trying to compare or compete with Charlie's reflash...He has his niche and we have ours so you can give it a rest. If you want to compare us to MoTec or some other standalone that's fine. I actually encourage people to do that so they can see the real value of this system. Remember the ECU is just one component in the kit. I think people fail to realise they are getting a wiring loom, sensors, and other bits when they look at the price.
