Hi everyone,I need some advise on EM blue or VAFC II,which one is easier to tune with,I already have an EM blue right now,I saw a lots of ppl on here have tune with VAFC II,and everyone said it's EZ to used,I just got my 03 6sp back from my sister,it has a few mods on it right now,JW intake,cattman b-pipe,secret sauce Port and polish TB and the piece behind TB,LOL,and suspension and braces,more.. here is what I want to get after I got the car all fix up and painted.I want to see which one will be easier to tune with or used with the mods I list below,I found a VAFC II for around 160 shipped,I might sell the EM blue and buy the VAFC II if it's easier to used.And any tip or suggestion in the orders of which one to put on the car first and why?Thanks for all your help in advance.

1.OBX V2 headers (already got)
2.Vias block plate,(already got)

4.hi-flow cat or Test Pipe (haven't decide any suggestion?)
5.2.5 cattman SS exhauste or custom 2.5 Exhaust (haven't decide)
6.TS ECU raise redline to 7000-7200 (haven't deceide yet)How high can I go before I need to change out the Main rod Bolts?
7.prolly a few more when I can think of,lol

 

no one have used or know someone that have used both? :/

 

K let me start here.. VAFCII is way easier to tune it with. If you are new to tune it. Go with that.

 

TS doesn't do ECUs anymore

 

For real? So anyone or place doing this still?Or how you guy raised ur redline? And what is the limit one can raise their redline,before one have to replace the main rod bolts? Thank.

 

replace the main rod bolts?! you dont need to replace those, thats the strongest part of the motor. you gotta worry about other things when revving high. I recommend emanage ultimate, it can do anything and everything. but if its between the vafc and blue, stay with the blue. You will be downgrading if you go with the vafc (thats for hondas and newb's lol), it has more features.

 

Thanks streetzlegend,so u r saying the EM blue or EMU can raise rev limit too?Sorry I'm new to tuning.I have read somewhere,someone mention do not raise rev limit pass 7000 or 7200,u ll need to replace the rod bolts or something will fail?

 

For a 3.5 I think the rod bolts are a common part to upgrade when extending the rev limit. Maybe Streetz was thinking about the 3.0 bottom end where the nut and bolt combo is superior to the 3.5 which has only bolts threading into the con rod.

I think the general consensus on the top of the motor is that everything is alright to 7000 with stock cams.

The EU will allow you to defeat the stock fuel cut above 6500.
