emanage-uni-chip-torque!!

[rev210]

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.

glad you could join us rev

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?

[rev210]

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.

who in Sydney installed and tuned the emanager?? Is there a plug that u plug into the ecu or do u have to slice into all the ecu wires??

and how do u adjust things? with hand controller or laptop?

[ed]

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.

[Guest INASNT]

what made u pick the emanager over the pfc ed?

[ed]

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

[ed]

oh yeah...

unigroup installed and tuned an S15 with full emanage...

I think the guy picked up the unit 2nd hand for $800 with all the harness'...all up around $1400 tuned and installed...

2nd hand PowerFC's are what...$1200?

[rev210]

You know Trust have a monster RB26 race engine powered by the e-manage.

[ed]

yes...

oh you can control sub injectors with the emanage...

I believe the powerfc cannot do that...

You won't believe how many Q's I asked rev210 over PM before splashing the cash for the emanage

[Guest INASNT]

can u control NOS or water injection etc with the emanager 2?

[ed]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have any aux outputs at all.

[rev210]

http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/

a good place to start with the emanage info.

[surreal]

Sweet!! Thanks for even more info.

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....

Trust = GReddy = GREX

I'm sure that e-manage is a good interceptor but Trust would be shooting themselves in the foot if they were to use anything esle

[ed]

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

[judd]

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. :-)

[rev210]

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.
