I was looking at getting an Emanage about a year ago, but same story; the information on them sounds really good but as soon as you speak to a tuner they tell you they are rubbish.

In the end I decided that if they are going to be the ones tuning the thing then I would be wise to get something that they were comfortable tuning. Best to choose a tuner first, then choose the ecu that they recommend to you. No point having a fancy ecu (which compared to others, the Emanage is not) that nobody wants to tune.

I love it mate, at first I didn't think it was very good because I was getting terrible fuel economy but Andrew retuned it and now I'm getting about 500kms to a tank. It all comes down to the tune in the end.

Nistune will be more cost effective also as the Emanage often need the loom wired up which can cost a few hours in labour. Other good option is a plug and play PowerFC unit for the skyline platforms, however some are hard to source now but they are a very popular choice for ECU owners in WA over the past 5 years or so.

yeah i was looking at power fc however like you said getting very scarce now and becoming hard to find even andrew at hyperdrive said good luck at finding one

Well actually I think PowerFC's aren't all that hard to find, they are always being sold on forums like these. The killer is that people still value them really highly, often you end up paying almost as much as it would cost to get a brand new VIPEC. NIStunes are by far the best bang for buck option, cheap to buy, cheap to install, cheap to tune but still a really good ecu. Also retains the stock ECU settings such as knock control, which other ECU's such as PowerFC do not.

Sean at allstar can tune emanage but he dislikes it alot, the main reason behind this is that he had major issue trying to tune one on my mates turbo accord sent alot of dyno time and just couldn't get the thing to work. No matter what he did the ecu couldn't add enough fuel. even with the fuel map set to 100% the car was still leaning out in top rpm.

It interesting because a tuner in the eastern state, raves about the emanage and how good it is for a piggy-pack ecu but it seems no one in perth has yet to them to work correctly

What model PFC are you looking for they are becomming rare but still are common on yahoo auction for R33/34 model. Looking around 1-1.5k due to exchange rate.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
