ALN has the e-manage ultimate and he said his tuner found the optimum Vtec point to be 5500rpm anyway. He gained 12kw atw on top of an already impressive (120kw+) base figure with his combination of I/H/E.Quote:

If you decide VTEC control and VTC control is important you can always add a V-manage later down the road (controls change over point and cam timing) but with a basic I/H/E the gains mightn't be worth the cost.
With the interceptor and e-manage you're also getting a more accurate tune that makes the most of the particular mods you've made to you're car.
Sure, not everyone will see this the same way, but that's my perspective. It seems the new generation of piggy-back ecu's are a bit under-rated - the ecu is no longer able to "re-learn" so that's another disadvantage out the window.
/rant lol
I agree with you mate. I'd rather get the e-manage than the J-tune reflash to maximize the gains of my mods rather than a "one size fits all" solution. Since the ECU cannot re-learn it's better than other products like the Apexi VAFC and NEO.Quote:

If Jtune had a Euro you'd bet it would be done by now but since James' CTR is there everyday and he gets personal benefit from it you can bet that's why it's already finished.
lol i cant believe the CTR packages are on the way but euro ones still arent :S
Sounds like best option would be haltech interceptor or Emanage ultimate.
Just a noobish question right how you know what settings to be tuned for? would the guy tuning know what to set it at or you tell him your specs?
The tuner should dyno tune it specific to your car. There is nothing you can tell him other than the mods you have, which he might not even require.Quote:

Would you prefer Haltech interceptor or Emanage Ult reasons being?
which one would be better?
I wouldn't choose Haltech because it doesn't support vtec point changing. Once you have your mods and change the fuel and ignition maps, the optimum vtec point also changes. So you would want to have that feature. So I would go Emanage ultimate.Quote:
