Thinking about changing to emanage blue

[daneyan]

Wow! small world! Have I ever meet you?

um i doubt it. i'm over there every weekend almost but i don't think i've ever seen u over there, or maybe i have and didn't know it was you.

sorry to thread jack andres lol. try that emanage blue out and see what results u get if your getting it for the low low.

Neil wired it up! He is going to put base tune it to get it running good enough to drive and then I think it's going to maybe Doc I'm not sure fom fine tuning? My car is at there shop. It's the white 89 with mk4 wheels.

LOL.... do you know how many white MK3 with Mk4 wheels are at their shop? Just messing with you.
How much does DOC charge to tune the EMU? pm me if you don't want to make that public

mine looked good (if i was at that shop.. not sure where i was.. lol)

Standalone ftw.. I loved it.. too bad its gone for now

i used the eman blue, but with no extra harnesses, ran great for me..

OK here's another question....
You got a standalone and you tuned the hell out of it.... Car's running nice, then winter comes around and you are driving your car in 50 degree weather when you had tuned it in 85 degree.... obviously your intake air is way denser than before.
Do you have to retune it or will it adjust to the weather change?

It has an air temp sensor, and you can also add extra temperature compensation.

werd..

That's the pain in the bum of standalone's; when you're done tuning fuel and ignition you need to tune all the compensation maps; airtemp, altitude, accell, decell etc. Well, at least if you want to drive the car in more than one condition ;-)
But it's worth it to have full control on all that is going on in controlling the engine. I'm still on the EMB + blitz ecu, but in the future I will also step up to a standalone. The most I'm worried about with piggybacks is ignition timing.

it really wont sway that much.. you might need a minor retune (depending how aggressive you tune it) at wot, but o2 correction will fix any minor weather change just fine.. fwiw I never had ait correction on my car and It ran fine.. there wasn't that huge of a temp swing (probably 50 on the colder days to ~ 80 on the hotter days) but never had any issue.. Minor issues at wot (going from 11.2 on hotter days to 11.5 on the cooler.. if you're running an aggressive 12.0 or leaner, might cause a little bit of problems though..

Justin, which standalone are you using?

 

[tissimo]

aem ems

AEM FTW, do it right drew. Alpha over in Tampa will do a street and dyno tune for under $400 including dyno time. He will also explain things so you can learn something and he guaranted me that it will run like a stock ecu but with better mileage. I am thinking about taking some of the tuner classes they have in Jacksonville as well to learn more about EFI performance tuning.

honestly.. for your car drew, I dont think a standalone is necessary. Emanage will work out fine with it. Unless looking to upgrade later (more power). Fwiw though, my cammed 1j idled like stock where as I drove a cammed 1j on the stock ecu it idled a little funny (idle would hunt sometimes) and didn't seem to drive as nice.

Maybe I should move up your way to have tissimo's expertise ..... But that would mean that I would be the fastest in town......:icon_razz :naughty: :biglaugh:

I didnt know you were selling and getting a new car. Cause I know you aint talking about your current little 2.5 liter :bigthumb:

I just got some new JDM tails in, I bought them for your enjoyment since you will be spending so much time looking at the rear of my car :naughty:

I'll see them when I park behind you.

BTW, can you tell me if my Drager shoots flame out the back when I change gears? thanks:biglaugh:

^ LOL.

Very informative thread, if I may ask - Where are you guys sourcing the aem ems from?

 

[rakkasan]

I'll find out what kind of difference the Stinger will make over EMB. I dropped my car of at the not-so-local tuner today to have the Stinger dialed in, I'll pick it up on Friday. If I find out what kind of power it makes before then, I'll post it....
