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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
