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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
