[Royalflush]

Hey guys as topic states I'm looking at buying either one and using it to tune my s2 R33 GTST.

Just curious to know if anyone is Using any of the above piggyback ECU's.

I dont know much about the Greddy Emanage, Can someone please explain whats the deal with all these harnesses? I have No idea whats they on about?

And if anyone is currently using any of the systems a product review would be grat. How they rate it how easy was it to tune?

Anyone know good tuners form Emanage in Melbourne?

im currently running a safcII on my r34. it does the job. managed a 206rwkw, mind you my car's an auto.

harness is something that allows you to literally 'plug' the emanage / safc into your car. without this, you have to manually splice a million wires into your ecu's wiring. this may or may not involve headaches. it did for me on my turbo starlet as there was little info about the wiring available, and there was no slack in the ecu wiring and it was right on the transmission hump and firewall

emanage has ability to tune fuel and ignition timing, you just need the ignition timing harness (this is autmoatically includedif you purchase the wire in harness for your car). it uses a very user friendly tuning program. i've had 2 emanages tuned by tuners who had never touched an emanage before, one actually tried to talk me out of it, but then decided he loved it and has since then been reccomending it to others. the other tuner loved it too.

i'm unsure if the safc2 does ignition timing too?

no safc2 doesn't do ignition timing, none of the safc's do. emanage would be the better option as it has way more features, but it all depends on if you can find someone to tune it. you need the link cable and software to tune an emanage. safc is an easy install, like 7 wires. emanage, unless you get the plug in harness, is like 30.

How about Chasers In melb? Or Trent form Status tuning?

LOL!!!!

Could not be further away from the truth. The emanage blue is sooo much better.

Trent at Status tuning is the god in melbourne when it comes to tuning the emanage, both the blue and the ultimate.

you need the ecu itself, the main harness and the ignition and injecter harness. so three (3) harness's.

if your unsure speak to trent. hes on this forum under the username URAS

the ultimate is much better than the blue allowing you to remove AFM along with plenty of extra options doing a quick search will find you the thread about the ultimate.

also you cant compare the blue and SAFC, although rather basic compared to other ecu's the blue is far more advanced than the SAFC
