I am very happy with it. I previously ran a Haltech E6S and find the Autronic a lot better. It drives better than the stock ECU ever did.
It isn't as user friendly as the Haltech though.
It doesn't run off a handset. Tuned live via a notebook computer. You can control and monitor everything from here.
The Autronic itself is around $1800 i think. I also brought an MSD DIS-4 to run direct fire ignition, this was about $700. I could have brought some bosch ignitors but because I was running twin spark it was almost the same price. But for your application you probably just need the ignitor. These are around $150 i think new.
I brought 2 quad coil packs from Haltech. These were $180 for the lot.
But if you are keeping the dizzy then you don't need those.
If using the dizzy you would need a reluctor interface, I think these are around $140 or so.
If you are going with the distributor-less direct fire ignition then you need 2 hall effect sensors, with a crank trigger and reference pulse from the dizzy. These cost me around $120 each.
All up I paid $2700 approx. But this was for everything needed to run the distributor-less ignition.
Quite expensive, but definately worth it. Highly recommend the system. I have heard nothing but good reports about it.
It probably is one of the best ECU's on the market, Motec being the highest followed by Autronic, Haltech, etc.
