I was looking at getting an Emanage about a year ago, but same story; the information on them sounds really good but as soon as you speak to a tuner they tell you they are rubbish.

In the end I decided that if they are going to be the ones tuning the thing then I would be wise to get something that they were comfortable tuning. Best to choose a tuner first, then choose the ecu that they recommend to you. No point having a fancy ecu (which compared to others, the Emanage is not) that nobody wants to tune.

yeah very true what did you end up going for and who do you use to tune yours

[Hanaldo]

Well after speaking to Andrew at Hyperdrive I decided to go with NIStune; Andrew tunes it.

yeah that was my next iption sounds liek thats they way to go

how d you rate your nistune?

[Hanaldo]

I love it mate, at first I didn't think it was very good because I was getting terrible fuel economy but Andrew retuned it and now I'm getting about 500kms to a tank. It all comes down to the tune in the end.

oh nice not that im looking for fuel economy anyway not a daily its just a weekender plus i dont pay for fuel

Nistune will be more cost effective also as the Emanage often need the loom wired up which can cost a few hours in labour. Other good option is a plug and play PowerFC unit for the skyline platforms, however some are hard to source now but they are a very popular choice for ECU owners in WA over the past 5 years or so.

yeah i was looking at power fc however like you said getting very scarce now and becoming hard to find even andrew at hyperdrive said good luck at finding one

[Hanaldo]

Well actually I think PowerFC's aren't all that hard to find, they are always being sold on forums like these. The killer is that people still value them really highly, often you end up paying almost as much as it would cost to get a brand new VIPEC. NIStunes are by far the best bang for buck option, cheap to buy, cheap to install, cheap to tune but still a really good ecu. Also retains the stock ECU settings such as knock control, which other ECU's such as PowerFC do not.

Sean at allstar can tune emanage but he dislikes it alot, the main reason behind this is that he had major issue trying to tune one on my mates turbo accord sent alot of dyno time and just couldn't get the thing to work. No matter what he did the ecu couldn't add enough fuel. even with the fuel map set to 100% the car was still leaning out in top rpm.

It interesting because a tuner in the eastern state, raves about the emanage and how good it is for a piggy-pack ecu but it seems no one in perth has yet to them to work correctly

What model PFC are you looking for they are becomming rare but still are common on yahoo auction for R33/34 model. Looking around 1-1.5k due to exchange rate.

[TonyStarks]

+1 for nistune.

Or a powerfc if you have the extra scratch....
