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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
