a sc changes this car is so many good ways--my sweet spot is now 5.5---7.5 K--i am actually faster on the track not going above 8K!
Hows that to help with high rpm heat buildup, drivetrain strain, fuel track economy and other stuff. Totally changes the car with destroying the smooth linear power of the rotory.
Hymlee--tracks temps --not over 180F!!

Try www.xe.com for exchange rates. It looks very attractive for US buyers at the moment You can buy one Aussie $ for about 69 US cents.

Cheers,
Hymee.
is that the price with engine management or without?

and will it be compatible with the accessport?

why would you want the access port when Hymee sells an even better tool in the pro tuner ? You would actually get maps for it as well

You can always ebay it. I'm essentially giving the Pro Tuner away with the blower kit.

Cheers,

Sweet, considering the situation of the access port in europe that sees insane pricing.
Hymee, any thoughts on working temps, boost levels etc with your kit? and does it keep enough room for an aftermarket ignition kit or will we have to replace\relocate the brackets?
sorry for the weird questions

Any tuner should be able to use Pro Tuner to alter the maps and see the effect, and then re-alter to suite. That is what tuners do, yeah?

Cheers,
Hymee.

PS - "Insane Pricing" ?? In what ways?

Hymee will provide the basics like the software and the base tunes, then it's up to us i think.
I have no problems helping members that are close to me but i believe that the informations that can be found here are way above my knowledge.

@Hymee: an access port with a custom tune costs 1150€, the access port itself being 780€. We'll have to wait 'till march to POSSIBLY see an access tuner for our models too... That's why i say insane pricing

I think that a tunner that sells AccessPort , or Interseprtor-X would not like to spent his time with a car that has the Hymee software. I want Hymee's supercharger but unfortunately I will have to buy two types of management if Hymee does not sell the supercharger kit on its own.

If you find a tuner that is motivated by providing a service at an hourly rate for tuning, rather than being motivated by selling a product, then you should be OK. But perhaps things are different this side of the world, so my perceptions are perhaps clouded. Here is my analogy - surely you can go find a guy who can weld something for you without having to sell you a welder???

Cheers,
Hymee.

@spiffm: i can point you out to some very good european tuners if you tell me where you live in private.
@hymee: we have more thieves here than sellers, finding a good support is pretty hard even for me. I wish there were more Charles and Mark walking on this very very old continent

Hey Zoom, do you mind saying why you decided to purchase the Hymee SC before dyno results and other specifics are available? And why did you choose it over the Pettit unit? Thx
