does any company make a full stand alone for the LD9? any input would be very appreciated.
thanks
Make for? not specifically, but AEM EMS makes a universal one. but really, its not worth getting that, unless you have large goals, and deep pockets. It is $1300-$1600 for that standalone, but you would have to wire it all up. A harness is not made for the j-body. Also, you'd have to tune it to just run all the stock items. A/C, fans, etc.
If this is for a turbo, or s/c or something, and fuel is your concern, a piggyback unit may be a better option. Some examples are SAFC-II (fuel control) , E-manage(fuel, spark, other features), megasquirt (fuel,spark, others, but must assemble circuit board yourself, or pay a lot more for it assembled.) I hope that helps some.
if you are real good like that, check out Megasquirt. http://www.megasquirt.info
if you ain't so good like that, check out Greddy E-manage. Obviously, due to complexity, the DIY factor, and American market economy... one is far more expensive than the other.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
i am building a turbo LD9. i already have 9:1 wiseco pistons, eagle H-beams, arp main and head stud kits, 550cc inj., 1mm + valves, .074" head gasket, venom fuel rail, and a 255 lph fuel pump, 400+ hp axels and custom turbo kit. i will be running a 50 trim .63 a/r turbo. i was just about to buy an afc but i know you will get more power and better reliability (as much reliability to be expected) from stand alone.
See if other people are running the e-manage on that engine, and how they like it. i have the 2.2 so I don't know. The e-manage is a good system, and can make all those mod reliable, if tuned, and setup correctly. (thats the hard part)
It all depends how much you're willing to spend. It sounds like you've spent a lot already so you might as well pickup a standalone too. Check out:
Electromotive
Motec
AEM
Megasquirt
For LD9's ... A few people have a Electromotive TEC3, 1 guy with a Motec, I know no one with a running AEM system and there are a few people running around talking about Megasquirt. Look at the features of each and decide.

I have the FAST EMS
Mine is not completely built and running yet, but another guy used FAST and had very good results with it
