I did not know that you could loose standard drivability from an ems. I had an emanage blue but sold it before I finished the swap to 205. I have a wideband, but it is an aem for datalogging or hooking to a laptop. I am going to look into getting a gauge for it, or replacing it with a standard one. Recently a local made a cable and Android based program that will read the data from a 205 and 92+ 185 ecu and output it. It might be a nice

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6990I am not trying to turn the car into a prius, but if I could make the car leaner in a safe limit under power I would like to get more track time per tank of gas. That was the nice thing about my old 350z. I could run it hard all day and only use half a tank.
It seems the stock ecu can do quite a bit. If the internals are only good for 350bhp than I guess there is little use in doing too much to the car since it seems all that came with the factory can push beyond those limits. The whole bhp idea always threw me off. I am used to whp or crank hp. How does bhp differ from those? I find a lot of opinions when I googled it, but it seems many are confused by it and how it compares to the others.
I could open the engine and replace the pistons. I assume there might be other things that would eat into my budget if I go that route though. I am holding off on and major work on the engine as I am thinking if I do decide to go big, I may use a different engine altogether. I have been eyeing the 1ar. All aluminum, 2.7L and shown to make some power in recent drift cars. If I did stay 3s, I have a feeling I would be at least using a late 2.2 5s block. That would quickly eat into my lsd and suspension plans.
