Greddy E-Manage Ultimate - Anyone Used One?

[livewire]

Hey guys. Just trying to gather a few opinions and experiences on the greddy e-manage ultimate as opposed to the more common power fc. Will be purchasing computer for my R34 GTR so preferably someone who's maybe used one on the same car but any feedback would be appreciated. and yes, I have tried searching lol.

Get the powerFC

[paulr33]

for BNR34 powerfc is bulletproof and cheap and you can buy it new plug and play for BNR34 with el hand controller

what is wrong with common?

common means there is lots of support (the powerfc faq, over 29,000 words, 154 pages)

common means there are lots of tuners (you can choose price and service)

common means its well proven and works

the bnr34 is such a nice car id hate to see you end up with an emanage mangled mess

[gotRICE?]

Id go for a Link G4 plug in.

Brilliant bit of ECU.

The noobs here don't have love for the Greddy and you may be hard pressed to find a suitable tuner. Where are you located?

nope

why would you run a piggy back on a GTR?

i used to run an emanage ultimate - it was good for $500 and around 220-230kw BUT for anything above that you would want a standalone ECU.

personally, i wouldnt go for a power FC unless it was a bargain buy at under $1000. for the extra $600 i'd go for a link or vipec in terms of bang for buck. support for the vipec is direct with its creator, ray hall on the vipec website.

its simple to use and the add-on features are great (e.g. knock sensor, wideband for the auto-tune feature or logging, oil temp/pressure etc, boost control). and the help file ACTUALLY helps.

if your talking power specific, mines pushing over 285 awkw.. i dont have any problems with the eManage.

I used ebay usa and picked one up for about 660 brand new. I have found that its easier to change varibles eg. maf sensors, injector sizes etc than the power fc but my car is a gtst after all

they are capable of pushing over 300kw... but at the end of the day you're after reliability when you're in the 250kw+ zone. for me it was fine at the 220-230kw mark but for some reason the r33 ecu didnt like the figures that were going into the MAF voltage table (for the MAP sensor conversion) and would pretty much shit itself when trying to tune. a lot of tuners wont touch them because its things like that, that make them a PITA.

best thing is to go to your tuner and ask them which ECU in your budget they prefer to tune. after all they are the ones that have to deal with it.
