hey guys

dont think iv posted in here before so a hello to everyone !!

at the moment im doin the usual searchin for parts and tryin to plan out everything, money, turbo, ecu and time..

ecu side of things iv decided to go with a emanage ultimate (if pfc doesnt pop up by then) just curious to know people's experiance with tuners in QLD..

i havnt had any tuning done before so new to this side of things (done most other things)

in a nut shell i just want to know where the best place is to get my tune? who has experiance with the new emange?

mercury comes straight to mind same with P.I.T.S down the coast but im more after the "best" tune

reason for this is im not sure who has played with the EMU before

im willing to travel not settle for whats closest !

any adivse or even anyone who is running one where did you get it tuned and were you happy

thanks for your time

Never been asked this question before...

Maby ask the distributor of Greddy in Australia "Who is the best" and see what they have to say???

But im sure Matt Spry tunes them, so Id be talking to him as he is also know as "Tuning God" in some circles... :D

yeah thats what i thought everyone ranks he very highly

i figure fork out once on a tune that is worth more than another and be happy, no point spending all the money if nothing is doin its part, plus i wanna try get the plug n play harness to save any troubles, apparently only problems ever caused were by wiring fault

thanks

If your after the best tune and willing to travel have a small holiday and get your car tuned at CRD

Yeah they are actually sponcers of the forums also, you can contact them via pm CLICK HERE.

They may also have an idea of a place more local...?

Any updates on this subject?

I've just picked up a emanage ultimate for a good price.

Looking to get it installed and would like 2 tunes (one for the daily driving).

Matt Spry would be my first choice, but I haven't spoken to anyone yet.

Would he be the one to do the install as well? R34 GTT has to be wired, no PnP :)

Im going to be getting an emanage ultimate in the next month or so as well - also interested to know of people's experiences with local tuners.

I know a guy who had this system and found it not very flexible to tune, he didnt like it so pulled it out and got a power fc.

a couple of things;

1) The PFC is everyone's 1st choice, but they don't make them anymore (for the 34 GTT) and if you can find one, the price is crazy.

2) emanage Blue vs emanage Ultimate. The earlier Blue seems to give a lot of people trouble! but after speaking to a few people at SEMA, I'm thinking the Ultimate will be ok for what I want.

There doesn't seem to be many 34 GTT in QLD with an EMU... I was hoping to get some more feedback from someone local.

I'm not 100% sure where he is, but his details will be on here somewhere!

i didnt think about the part with the Gtt not being able to use power fc, there are other alternatives like a haltec,Motec or EMS.

Yeah thats fair enough about the emu and the blue.I think the guy i kow had the blue emanage .

Matty is in Molendular near gold coast not far off broad beach, cant find his other details off the top of my head but im certain that more than one person will have them.

correct me if im wrong .. but the EMU and emange blue are all piggy back systems not a standalone computer most you can get out of these are fuel and air mixtures similar to SAFC NEO but a lil better ?? plus for Boost control options you'll need to use the E01 which plugs into both the EM ECU ..

Hey Vish, yes both are piggyback systems, but the ultimate has a lot more options than just fuel & air. for the money I think it's a good option.

There's some good info here, but not much discussion on QLD installers/tuners

Ipswich is where its at. Signature performance is the joint, Mick is his name. 32815281 is his number.

Several members rides including my own have been tuned by Mick with very good results.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
