Just curious to know if anyone is Using any of the above piggyback ECU's.

I dont know much about the Greddy Emanage, Can someone please explain whats the deal with all these harnesses? I have No idea whats they on about?

And if anyone is currently using any of the systems a product review would be grat. How they rate it how easy was it to tune?

Anyone know good tuners form Emanage in Melbourne?

harness is something that allows you to literally 'plug' the emanage / safc into your car. without this, you have to manually splice a million wires into your ecu's wiring. this may or may not involve headaches. it did for me on my turbo starlet as there was little info about the wiring available, and there was no slack in the ecu wiring and it was right on the transmission hump and firewall

emanage has ability to tune fuel and ignition timing, you just need the ignition timing harness (this is autmoatically includedif you purchase the wire in harness for your car). it uses a very user friendly tuning program. i've had 2 emanages tuned by tuners who had never touched an emanage before, one actually tried to talk me out of it, but then decided he loved it and has since then been reccomending it to others. the other tuner loved it too.

i'm unsure if the safc2 does ignition timing too?

no safc2 doesn't do ignition timing, none of the safc's do. emanage would be the better option as it has way more features, but it all depends on if you can find someone to tune it. you need the link cable and software to tune an emanage. safc is an easy install, like 7 wires. emanage, unless you get the plug in harness, is like 30.

Anybody know a good tuner in Melb for Emanage Blue?

And with an Emanage blue...

What harnesses do i need to get with it?

To What i been told.. u need a different harness to run certain components? Or am i totally wrong?

Definitely give Chasers a call (03) 9687 7118 for tuning service.

Trent at Status tuning is the god in melbourne when it comes to tuning the emanage, both the blue and the ultimate.

you need the ecu itself, the main harness and the ignition and injecter harness. so three (3) harness's.

if your unsure speak to trent. hes on this forum under the username URAS

the ultimate is much better than the blue allowing you to remove AFM along with plenty of extra options doing a quick search will find you the thread about the ultimate.

also you cant compare the blue and SAFC, although rather basic compared to other ecu's the blue is far more advanced than the SAFC

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
