The e-manage is a well thought out product.

People who 'bag' the unit or have negative experiences can tell you what to do wrong and how it doesn't work.

People who have success are worth talking to, they know how to do things the 'right way' and how to make it work.

Thanks for the input guys, particularly ed, cheers.

I have no intention of running anything other stock intercooler and turbo but thought I might wind up the boost just a touch to like 7 & 9 (once the exhaust finally goes on..). ed if you do not have a boost controller (and there is not one in the basic emanage package) how are running 9psi?

the E-01 is one of the best boost controllers around, and it is part of the e-manage package enabling boost control and hand control and display of real time data from the e-manage unit.

As a 'component' upgrade system the e-manage is the leading edge stuff.

full exhaust = 9psi?

If you want I can scan my dyno run of power vs boost.

at peak power it actually isn't @ 9psi....I think the boost comes on nice and strong that there is a very smooth spike before the wastegate kicks in...

Lemme know if you want me to scan it.

BEL Performance did the work.

splice and dice.

laptop + software + cable.

There are plenty of people who can do the emanage.

It was $900 for a new emanage with the basic harness (air/fuel).

Going to put in ignition harness soon with FMIC....will be interesting.

initially cost....but then upon doing more research...I found out....20 x 20 points is overkill for what I am doing 16x16 (emanage) was good enough as I am keeping stock turbo....FMIC and using 9psi for daily driven car.

If you're going bigger injectors, turbo and all out top end peak power...then yeah by all means, go PFC, the resolution is higher for you to squeeeeeeeeeze every pony you possibly can to hit your peak power figure @ 7,000rpm (eg)....but me...i just want quick spool up and lots of torque on the stock turbo to get me off the line quick :D

Sweet!! Thanks for even more info. :D

I think I am leaning more and more towards the emanage. At first I was worried that it would be overkill but I think it will be ok. Still not sure about the (my) need for the e-01 though, any opinions guys? Again, I am just after more zing for every day driving, and not going after top end power (and I am sure mine is running really rich).

BTW daft question, where do you put it? Theres no room next to the ECU but you need to splice into the wires....:D

surreal, mine is in the glovebox.

The e-01 is a boost controller...get it later on if you wanna...it's not essential...but it's a damn fine unit...

jtir, I believe the trust RB26 is over 1200hp which is to demonstrate the emanage can support high hp applications....but I still recommend PowerFC occasionally b'cos that's what people like to hear :P

if ur just after zing...with nice maps...consider the Mines VX-Rom. Pick them up 2nd hand around 600-1000$. straight plug in. and they improves fuel, ignition and remove fuel cut, speed too. ~20kw gains with R33 GTS-t.

As u add a components the VX-Rom remapps by itself too...hassle free. :-)

The mines VX rom works great with high octane (read over 100+ RON) with the 98 stuff over here you can expect very little gain at all. Just like 'Topsecret' and Blitz and all the others who do 'chipped' factory ecus they are unsuitable.

BTW ,It doesn't remap itself, at least the base AF curve shape stays the same and the ignition curve does likewise. It learns in closed loop mode just like the factory unit which does not affect the performance aspect. The agressive timing curve put in these things is not at all suitable for our octane. You can always run toluene tho.

Unless they produce a unit for Aussi fuels then I'd leave them well alone.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
