Who runs what and are you happy with it. What's it features etc.

you just KNOW i'm gonna gooi more than 2c on this one hehehehe.

I run the PerfectPower XMS as tjooned/installed by the calibrator.

So we running MAP and not MAFS + we got airtemp sensor as well. The car runs very nice, and the system has all the outputs to control the various functions of my car/engine.

Like the VVT, the aircon, the fans, the boost control etc etc.

For what it costs, i am extremely happy 🙂

Costs wize I would go for what Dislex got...

I run a Wolf 3D... very happy... It has it own bells and whistles, but not anything more than the XMS.

Then with the Wolf there is probally only two people in the country who can probably tune it, The Calibrator and the oke who imports the stuff.

ja that wolf3d system does look nice - it's the one that's got that funky lcd diag screen that you can buy extra isn't it?

i spoke to peter from perfect power last week.

the XMS that dislex is running looks mighty impressive. it IS what i would get!!!

How much do they go for. How is it triggered. Propably with a different trigger plate in the CAS, that's how I would like it. I don't want to go the 60-2 route again.

Propably with a different trigger plate in the CAS

Those trigger plates are so cheap, I got 2 profiled out of 0.5mm stainless for R18.

yep!

duane made a trigger wheel that sits in the CAS - it's only got one trigger on it - so that he can do full sequential ign. and fueling 🙂

Last i heard he charges round the 9k mark - but that's FULLY installed, with all the bells and whistles. Like the boost controller, the map sensor, temp sensor. And tjooned 🙂

plus you get a little switch to switch maps (ie. low and highboost)

yup - after talking about it for a while the quote came to about 8 grand with all the extra bits (including coils - to eliminate old dodgy coil on plug system), and tjooned on their dyno, caver's trigger plate, wideband sensor (i think), map sensor, etc, etc.

i'm not sure what caver charges for a dyno chune - but it think peter said its around 750-800 at perfect power.

keep in mind that the above quote didnt include installation - i am perfectly capable of doing that myself!!!

caver/thecalibrator charges quite a premium for tjooning - but i pay it with a smile.

No one else who's done any tjooning on any my cars has done it as thoroughly as he has.

Last time he did a tjoon for me (granted that was still ony my bikirom) he charged 1200 - car performed amazingly!

as for installation, veecee - did you see my install pics? VERY clean!

i did see and it is neat. here's a pic of one of our installs - a rotary in 1400 - doing low 13 sec quarters now (one year later) - lucky 13 year old driver with a very cool daddy!!!!

I miss my bakkie. This is how mine looked.

lekker man!

rotaries sound faarking awesome! (antony's got one in his S14 - and it sounds like a jet engine)

XMS is really nice. Looks like a very good option. Bit expensive but you get what you pay for. It'll be on my list of choices.

The xms does sound sweet. Mine is being installed sometime this month 😉

I played around with the software, you can custom configure the application on the notebook to show graphs or gauges, so I'm thinking of perma-fitting an old notebook and using a 7" LCD for the screen; could make for a very skyline looking MFD.

Dislex666, did calibrator setup your launch control on xms?

nay - haven't got launch control.

you need a switch on your clutch to use it. which i didn't get. Not too fussed about it tho, cuz i'm not gonna be dragging that much

I word of advice... there are ALOT of hidden cost involved if you do it yourself. R9000.00 for it installed is VERY good. I am STILL waiting 😈 to get my Wolf installed and tuned and the cost keep rising!!

ye, you can say that again.

Yeah mine costed just above 8k....

Same here, will maybe look at it later, if I can't find anything else to change/fix, which I doubt.

I'm just glad my turbo arrived 😈

I wish that red S14 gets moving along now so my baby can have some quality time with Duane 🙄
