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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
