Do you have any evidence to prove that the E-manage isn't a worthy system of fuel management or are you just repeating the bullshit you hear all day long about Hondata and EMS?

 

by the way how is your turning outis it done being tuned? im most likely to go with the e-manage for now then go hondata. is a laptop requird for the emanage because i dont have one but ive heard that you dont need a laptop you can just use the dials on the side of it

 

have it tuned on a dyno by someone who knows what they're doing. its the best way of doing it without blowing something up.

 

:werd:

Unless you know how to tune and you have a wideband o2 hooked up to a tuning software, just throwing something on your car like an Emanage and messing with the dials is going to do more harm than good. I agree with Snoopy, take it to a reputable tuning shop who knows what the hell they are doing.

 

No haven't gotten it tuned yet. I will let someone who knows what they are doing with the right fuel/air monitoring tools do it so I don't blow my engine up. I will keep you updated though. All the shops around are closed for the weekend.

 

yeah, tell me about it when its done tunning

 

well your going to go to a shop with a dyno they hook a wideband o2 sensor up load up your emanage pull 3-5 runs on the dyno and you fork over $500
and your car works right.
there you go.
actually turn all the knobs to thr right plug it in start it up and come post to us what happens

 

I assume it would give a running idle if I did that. I will install it myself but have someone tune it on a dyno so it is a bit less expensive since my shop charges out the ass for stuff like this.

 

Repeating the bullshit

Well, it's obvious GReddy themselves don't have that high of expectations for their unit... they repeatedly refer to it as the "low-cost alternative" for engine management. I mean, you're gonna spend $200 more for a Hondata unit, but you get more flexibility, more control over various engine functions, and a nicely modular and expandable unit. AEM EMS looks to be a top-notch piece of hardware, and I've heard that some tuners really like the power that option brings to play... I like the fact that it isn't a piggyback unit, and you can do more with an in-car laptop...

But again, I'm just repeating bullshit that's been passed onto me by others who have FI, as my car is NA in the bolton sense

Though, just from what I can see, on paper, the Hondata unit looks superior enough to justify the additional bank....

 

Programmable EMS > piggyback...period.
