i'm thinking buy a emanage for my turbo R, what do you guys think, should i use AEM EMS or e-manage, which one would be better.
also just wonder if i just the e-manage do i still need FMU and Inline fuel pump also VAFC ?
i'll be running only 4.5psi. what do u think, should i go with e-manage or just leave it with vafc, fmu and fuel pump ?
tahnks

also deos anyone has experience with the e-manage ?

 

Get whatever system you can tune better.

Ditch the stock injectors, FMU, and V-AFC and get some 550s.

 

The E-manage is just a piggyback like the VAFC, tricks the ECU by telling to go to different portions of it's stock map. It's not a full blown ECU reprogramming system.

 

For this reason, I was going to suggest the AEM at first.

Then I realized that if he can't make use of the AEM unit, he's better off with the Greddy.

 

imo the greddy interface will be just as confusing

 

This is true.

But there must be a reason why he's narrowed down his choices to these two.

 

misinformation?

 

But I read it on Honda-Tech...

 

well, you read it, so it must be true....
Time to sell the hondata.

 

get the emanage and the e-01 (i think thats what is called) the emange is a lot better than a vafc. All shops i have gone too have recommended the e-manage over ther vafc

 

what else can i use ?
last time i post people told me just with FMU (from drag kit) it will run too rich, so i called some shop, they told me i can use ems or e-manage, since they cant tune hondata so hondata is out of question.

so you guys are saying e-manage is just same as vafc ?
is there any other way to make my R safe ?

 

If the shop can tune the EMS, get that.

 

The VAFC doesnt even compare to the E-manage. E-manage is 16 point curve while the VAFC is 8 point, you do the math

 

That's twice as many points.. i'm smart..

seriously, what made you pare the list of choices down to those two?

 

so is there anything else i can get except ems and e-manage

 

if it;s just vafc and e-manage
which one would u guys perfer

 

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=350683 - there are other systems out there - some won't be as cheap.. as mentioned earlier in the thread - your setup will only be as good as you get it tuned. So, if you theres a better shop even 3-5 hours away, its worth the travel.

browse arvhives in FI forum - covers most if not all of systems.

 

My advice is to get the one that has the bst support in your area...I would have gotten a Hondata, but aside from Sgt's occasional trip to JDM land, I would have no support for it locally. So I wound up getting an Apex PFC...tons of support here for this.

AEM EMS, Greddy eManage, Hondata, Apex PowerFC, Apexi VAFC.. there's probably a few more, but that's off the top of my head..

 

Can't compare. V-AFC have wayyyyyy less potential IMO.

There are other choices like HKS F-con series? That HKS and JUN uses those to setup cars.

 

Hey GettaluvR,
