Although I think there is a user on here, cant recall his name who think the GEMS is fantastic and software great too.
But I've used a lot of ecu's and GEMS is right down at the bottom of my list for well designed software.
But if you're not tuning it, then that aspect doesnt really matter. What matters is that whoever is tuning it, can make the most of it for your needs and application. That applies to any ecu.
Me?
Have you used GWv4?
If you used the old GWv3 -shocking.
The problem (if you call it a problem) is it is too configerable for the average user.
You will not find a more adaptable ecu for the price than Simtek. Trust me, I tried. Fits any 4 cylinder engine.
No where near enough info out there on them.
Speak to Steve Simpson direct or Andrew Gallacher.
Just for info, other than the factory running under normal use, I also have DBW, individual COP, eng accel based traction, 40 channel onboard logging, 2 stage launch, 2 stage antilag, twin vvt control, WI, iss, NOS control, EGR, 8 position calibration pot, twin inverted boost solenoid control, 8 pwm out, oil/fuel pressure protection, PRP depression load targeting, turbo speed sensor input.
i could go on. No other ecu comes close on spec vs price.
