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.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
