The e-manage is a well thought out product.

People who 'bag' the unit or have negative experiences can tell you what to do wrong and how it doesn't work.

People who have success are worth talking to, they know how to do things the 'right way' and how to make it work.

Thanks for the input guys, particularly ed, cheers.

I have no intention of running anything other stock intercooler and turbo but thought I might wind up the boost just a touch to like 7 & 9 (once the exhaust finally goes on..). ed if you do not have a boost controller (and there is not one in the basic emanage package) how are running 9psi?

the E-01 is one of the best boost controllers around, and it is part of the e-manage package enabling boost control and hand control and display of real time data from the e-manage unit.

As a 'component' upgrade system the e-manage is the leading edge stuff.

full exhaust = 9psi?

If you want I can scan my dyno run of power vs boost.

at peak power it actually isn't @ 9psi....I think the boost comes on nice and strong that there is a very smooth spike before the wastegate kicks in...

Lemme know if you want me to scan it.

BEL Performance did the work.

splice and dice.

laptop + software + cable.

There are plenty of people who can do the emanage.

It was $900 for a new emanage with the basic harness (air/fuel).

Going to put in ignition harness soon with FMIC....will be interesting.

initially cost....but then upon doing more research...I found out....20 x 20 points is overkill for what I am doing 16x16 (emanage) was good enough as I am keeping stock turbo....FMIC and using 9psi for daily driven car.

If you're going bigger injectors, turbo and all out top end peak power...then yeah by all means, go PFC, the resolution is higher for you to squeeeeeeeeeze every pony you possibly can to hit your peak power figure @ 7,000rpm (eg)....but me...i just want quick spool up and lots of torque on the stock turbo to get me off the line quick :D

Sweet!! Thanks for even more info. :D

I think I am leaning more and more towards the emanage. At first I was worried that it would be overkill but I think it will be ok. Still not sure about the (my) need for the e-01 though, any opinions guys? Again, I am just after more zing for every day driving, and not going after top end power (and I am sure mine is running really rich).

BTW daft question, where do you put it? Theres no room next to the ECU but you need to splice into the wires....:D

surreal, mine is in the glovebox.

The e-01 is a boost controller...get it later on if you wanna...it's not essential...but it's a damn fine unit...

jtir, I believe the trust RB26 is over 1200hp which is to demonstrate the emanage can support high hp applications....but I still recommend PowerFC occasionally b'cos that's what people like to hear :P

if ur just after zing...with nice maps...consider the Mines VX-Rom. Pick them up 2nd hand around 600-1000$. straight plug in. and they improves fuel, ignition and remove fuel cut, speed too. ~20kw gains with R33 GTS-t.

As u add a components the VX-Rom remapps by itself too...hassle free. :-)

The mines VX rom works great with high octane (read over 100+ RON) with the 98 stuff over here you can expect very little gain at all. Just like 'Topsecret' and Blitz and all the others who do 'chipped' factory ecus they are unsuitable.

BTW ,It doesn't remap itself, at least the base AF curve shape stays the same and the ignition curve does likewise. It learns in closed loop mode just like the factory unit which does not affect the performance aspect. The agressive timing curve put in these things is not at all suitable for our octane. You can always run toluene tho.

Unless they produce a unit for Aussi fuels then I'd leave them well alone.

    • Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.
    • So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.
    • Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
    • If the original NA ECU has a separate TCU then you are going to need to reroute wires that used to run between the trans and the TCU to the appropriate (1 to 1 equivalent) pins on the ECU. Other than that, it should work. Look up posts by @Kinkstaah on the subject.
    • So the stagea was a series 2 neo det with tiptronic auto. (I have the transmission aswell) and has integrated tcu in the ecu. I'm hoping to use the entire stagea ecu, engine and auto harness.
