Hey just wondering if anyone is using e-manage or e-manage ultimate and wanted to get some feedback as I'm thinking of using it. Just have bolt on mods and really want to sort out my ignition/air/fuel curve as it's a bit shakey. Does anyone know if the ultimate version is a much better unit?

Cheers any imput would be appreciated.

Will be doing some testing next week as an alternative to the Power FC.

Not as good as Power FC but for minor mods should be able to do what is required for a price that will be cheaper than most other aftermarket ECU's.

I use the Emanage Blue in my auto but only have the injection control sorted. If I want more from it I was told that I needed ignition control, and that the Emanage Ultimate was the way to go. I have basic mods like pod, exhaust, elec boost controller, FMIC, fpr. For a good site with info and updates for both firmware and software on the Ultimate and Blue Emanage, check out:

does minor mods = gtr injectors and hksgt2530 with 1.3bar and usual supporting mods?

need a car to test on? :laugh:

I have installed a ultimate on my 33.

I have a 3" turbo back exhaust, hks front mount and nismo pump fitted, It was tuned by hyperdrive and produced 274rwhp which I was happy with.

Although unlike the pfc which is plug and play there is quite a lot of wiring to be done all injectors, ignition etc its quite a head f**k but take your time and its manageable.

The software is very good and fairly easy to work with, and the data logging is excellent, it can hold a fair amount of data internally with out the laptop connected depending on cycle time selected.

There are also a lot of extra options that can be purchased e.g. pressure sensor, link up to electronic gauges etc.

Considering the price it is very competitive, Ive been nothing but happy with it so far.

did you wire it yourself?

the install manual looked pretty straight forward giving manufacturer specific ecu wiring diags.

although i would reconmend getting the extra harness that goes between the loom plugs and the computer which enables you to wire the ultimate up into the harness out of the car, and you dont have to cut into the main loom, It will make your life a shit load easier!

Cheers thanks for the info, I've got very similar mods and would be happy with that power. Am in the process of ordering the ultimate unit now will post up my results when It's fitted. Won't be for a while though, think I'm gonna buy from Japan.

Can you get a plug and play loom for the Ultimate??

I'm not sure if you can, I got mine a year ago when it first came out and you couldn't then

I'm talking about just a small harness that goes between the stock ecu and its plugs so you can splice into it and not the car's loom.

Do you get what I mean?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
