RE: K-star injection vs. Motronic vs. Electromotive



I've been following the progress of Shiv's turbo Impreza 2.5RS in Sport
Compact Car (yeah, I know all about SCC and your opinions, but Shiv's a
nice/intelligent guy and SCC is the only mag covering Imprezas). He's been
working with the TEC-II for a couple months, and really likes it. This
month's mag includes a very thorough explanation of setting one up,
including screen shots of the software. There's a couple of other guys on
Impreza-RS.com running it too (n/a and turbo), and they've been very
impressed so far.

The CIS-E injection, which I'm aware is pretty good for a factory system,
isn't able to make/create custom fuel maps that vary across the rev range
according to numerous variables. We end up resorting to fooling the cold
start valve to add full-throttle fuel enrichment and silly things like that.
For normal or mildly-modified systems this works fine. If you're extracting
the last couple HP from your n/a engine, or if you're doing something really
wacky like a turbo or nitrous, a system like the TEC-II allows you to do it
right. It isn't the cheap solution, of course, but worth it if you're
looking for that amount of control.
