Hi there, I have a question for those people using the emanage ultimate in there vehicles. What power are u making and what mods have u done to the car. I am curious because not many people seem to wanna tune them. I have got an atr43g3 turbo with 600 cc injectors and would like to see what maps and mods people have done to there cars etc. I would like to get a map off another car that is similar to mine if possible thank u all

They are good for what you're paying for but wouldn't you want the stability of a stand alone ecu if you're going to push the car above 250kw? And as you said it's not worth using one as you are limited with tuners.

Just a tip if you decide to keep it, don't bother with a map sensor. Keep using an AFM as the map sensor tables (to eliminate the AFM) are a bitch to get right.

Im hopefully going to get about 280 thats my plan I already have the unit and in the car. I have asked around a few tuners and 2 said they are a piece of shit but didnt know anything about them. One of them didnt even know that u DONT use a hand controller on them as they use a computer based software after that he said he would give it a go. The other 2 i contacted said they are a great piece of gear..........All i can gather is people just dont know how to use them Im really hoping that some one has my type of mods and i can get a rough map off them as its a bit of a pig to drive ( it currently has a remapped ecu for stock turbo fmic fp f/f exhaust ) so turbo very very laggy due to timing being retarded before boost comes on

I have one, only because there are no other ecu options like nistune. A good tuner can extract big power but it can drift a bit due to the stock ecu's mapping which is not a good idea at that level, and is one of the reasons I went e85 for safety. I have managed 300awkw so far.

Shame you aren't down in Melbourne, there are two tuners within a few k's of me willing to set them up, Trent (Status) and Cihan (Etuner), both very competent.

HI there I am aware of Trent as i have read his thread from what i can see he does a very good job I installed the emu and have figured how to change the afm and injector sizes and increase the lag time so it idles good. Its a bit hard up brissie way where some tuners will give it a go but not actually know how they work ( Oh please oh please does someone have the same mods as me lol )

I am forced (unhappily, but noone in the country can find an alternative..) to use one.. and my car setup will/is _SIMILAR_ to yours, but my car runs so poorly you surely don't want a map of this.

I was wondering if the piggyback is the reason it (mine) is so laggy, that or a really half-assed tune. :P

Must be the tune, the Ultimate is very capable in the right hands. Perhaps tuning the low end yourself is an option?

get a wideband, connect it. learn to use auto tune.

if you get familiar with the data logger you can get on the PPo2 website (http://ppo2performance.com/docs/?cat=4) and get the baseline software which takes your data logs and helps you fine tune your fuel map. its a very smart piece of kit for the emanage. i was one of the testers in its early stages and this guy has spent a LOAD of time and effort getting it right. keep in mind its still in its beta stage.

What do you mean 'drift'? Is this because it only adjusts the stocks ECU's fueling and timing rather than having 'fixed' maps? The stock ECU is still free to do what it wants?!mellow.gif

It will be better than stock, but it won't be good enough. Save the money on buying it and get a nistune and get that installed and tuned. The different will be quite large, it will also be far easier to tune and you will have a larger base of tuners to choose from.

Yeah but the stock ecu doesn't use many correction maps or on the fly tune adjustments so you can get away with piggy backs most of the time, still better to go full aftermarket/nistune though.

I had one on my r33 gtst and it was great. For the price at that point in time I couldnt argue and the results were definately worth it. Now with the GTR I will either go NISTUNE or PFC.

Nistune is just 16x16 maps and no provision for individual cylinder trims though? Slow as well only 8 bits.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
