Interceptor X EMS?
Is this ecu really worth 1600 bucks??? I've read about it and it sounds great, but i've also heard great hp gains from cz products too, and they are much cheaper. Jw if any1 here has experience with this system, thnks.

well, according to this thread
https://www.rx8club.com/mazsport-104/finally-plug-play-ecu-68392/
the unit wont be available till end of the month. also this unit gives you full control of ignition and spark, instead of spoofing the ecu into giving more fuel by adjusting the airflow reading.

And is more expensive, yes.. The HAS TO BE TUNED by an HKS dealer is a deal-killer for most people.

just remember there are good points and bad points of each...
emanage... Good - can adjust the computer outputs, closed loop control for cruising/emissions, retains PCM saftey systems like knock control/overheating limp mode/ect
... bad - PCM can alter fuel settings on its own behind the emanages back
interceptor... Good - theoretically you should always have the correct a/f ratios since the PCM has no control anymore
.... bad - no control means no closed loop cruising mode, no knock retard, no overheating protection

yes, they have a piece available that does all this, but it is more expensive, can only be bought by certain hks dealers, and CAN ONLY BE TUNED BY SAME DEALERS, leaving the keys for tuning your car in their hands, not yours. granted this can be a good thing so someone who doesnt know what they are doing cant mess up your engine, but for the people out there with the technical expertise to tune, kinda leaves them up the creek without a paddle.
i agree with only being able to buy the unit from certain dealers, as they are trying to protect the value of their product, but to also have to pay to have that dealer tune it, and quite likely get screwed on the price, that's not cool
