This is my opinion from seeing a few done to other peoples cars, but I don't think that they are any good at the moment. I've seen them on a few different cars, including a 200SX and an R34GTR, both had serious problems.

The 200SX was an auto, and the E-manage says that it works with auto's, but it didn't, kept melting coil-packs. Upon quizzing TRUST about it they said that they had never actually tried it on an auto, they just assumed it would work.

I think that it is going through the teething problems that all EMS go through, and oneday it will be a very good product, but at the moment I don't think it is.

If anyone has another experiance then I'll be more than happy to hear it.

See'ya:burnout:

If you do a search on it (maybe in the performance forum) you should get a fair bit.

Not recommended at all.

the emange is a interceptor type ECU, tuning is done via a laptop which is linked with what seems to be a 9pin serial <-> USB cable.

software is not bundled with the unit and needs to be purchased seperately.

16 x 16 (load vs RPM) in the basic package, much like a SAFC except this is load vs RPM.

Easy/Hard to tune? Dude that depends how competent YOUR tuner is...

What else do you need to know?

ed,

This is correct. I have heard many a positive testimony to match the couple of negative ones. Try the e-manage forums (there are at least 3 that I know of). Most car owners are very satisfied.

After looking at the software it appears very intuitive.

hmm now im confused

rev210, yes....and you can hook it up to a profec e-01 for the wank factor scale of 10/10

rev, can you PM me the forums? I'm very interested in reading more on them

cs, what are you confused about? depends how much you want to spend....basic package of the emanage works just like a SAFC but much cheaper than a PowerFC. You can slowly upgrade the emanage with the ignition harness and then the injector harness (if upsized injectors) and also hook it up to the e-01 to tune via the e-01's screen.

One thing I did notice with the software was if you upgrade injectors and you already have a basic tune BEFORE the injector upsize, you simply enter in the % increase of the injectors and it automatically adjust your maps to suit.

Perhaps wander down to your local tuner and see if they have done any emanage units.

People's good exeriences and success are far more valuable than negative feedback, except where the negative feedback is all you can find. This is simply not the case with the e-manage. I know I'd rather speak to someone who made the e-manage work than someone who couldn't, the guy who couldn't can only tell you what not to do.
