Pretty much right.

Also the ECU controls the gearbox, throttle and accessories, so you can't just ditch it for a standalone without going to a cable throttle like Scotty has tried.

AFAIK the VQ25DET was only used in the NM35, so people aren't in a mad rush to develop piggy backs etc for them.

I'm convinced that Haltech would be a better choice... if it was guaranteed to work. But there are no guarantees, so go with what you know works!

nope.

its speaks with another Ecu that controls the GB lol

stock intercooler and injectors wont handle 200kw i dont think. especially injectors

I plan to test that injector theory... just as soon as my com cable rolls up! :rant:

Not sure if Scott's is the only proven suction pipe Aaron, Dolphin might disagree, but good luck getting one :P

I saw pics of an HKS replacement for the vertical suction pipe and the rubber bend... Well at least it had HKS stamped on it, but I have only seen it once.

Also, TEPS make a very nice suction pipe but you have to supply them with your car.

i thought scott had the com cable?

Just an FYI on the Haltech....I had the Interceptor......I battled with it for a good six months......in the end I took it off and my car made more power with the stock ECU.

Jus so you know.....even though you have a piggyback(any piggyback) the standard ECU will try to tune around it....and quite often succeed!

There in lies the problem for me. No one wants to touch an Emanage over here, it's like a dirty word but no one has had any real success with anything else. I don't know what to do, if I get the exhaust done I want to make full use of it and at the very least get the mods we discussed before. I'm happy with an extra 50 awkw but nothing less.

He did mention something about the possibility of a cable throttle so perhaps he was planning on bypassing the ecu all together. That sounds like a hell of a lot more work than $2500 worth including the new engine management system though. I wonder if Cihan has some base maps I could purchase and get a tuner over here to start from that platform.

Arrgghhh

Don't you have an HKS tuner over there?

HKS Fcon iS will do (at least) as much as the eManage Ultimate and can be picked up pretty cheap (have seen them on eBay for $300-350).

Problem is that the ECU will still try to tune around it.

On the plus side, the ECU will also accommodate and self tune for basic mods such as exhaust, runner spacer and suction pipe (although the SP will max out the AFM)

There is a way around that with good design :whistling: .

So when are you making them for others?

Haha. I figured if I spent the 50hrs it took me to make it actually working in my business, I could have paid someone to build me something really nice. I dunno, maybe totally rebuilt my engine or a manual gearbox conversion lol.

Happy to release the patent & put up a rough guide for others, but I'm so over it there's no way anyone would want to pay enough to entice me to make another one :wacko: .

Would be a good idea if I made sure I can get it running exactly how I like first. Otherwise this one may be going cheap for someone wanting to install an Emanage....

is there a way you can setup that extra opening to be adjustable? just in case its too large or something

Anything is possible but there's still limited room in there, and just how much time/effort/money does one want to go to?

In reality it would be easier to just use an interceptor to adjust the voltages (hence AFR's) back to what you want than try to do it mechanically. I'd imagine that would be a fairly coarse sort of adjustment.

    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
