lol you should install yours now man.
Well, I had bought this e-manage ultimate and plug and play harness of Tommy (CL9-K24A3), the starter of this thread.
Today I was planning to go to the workshop CL9-K24A3 went, to talk and organise tuning and installing my system. But,..I ended up installing the system myself as it is plug and play unit. I first thought his (CL9-K24A3) wouldnt fit my ECU as his was automatic and mine being manual, but that was wrong, everything fit perfectly.
Now my car is running the map that was tuned for Tommy's car, the VTEC point moved to 5500 rpm and it cut off at about 7300 or maybe 7400 I dunno cos there is no reading there but its a bit more that stock.
The gain I felt when I drove back home, even though weather in Melbourne today when I was driving back was 31 degree, the car reved heavier, in all power range. The gain was even much more than all the individual mods I did to my car, even more than Toda header.
I am still debating whether I should get it retuned to match specifically all the mods I had done, I'll need to drive it more and might need to get it dynoed to see what number it is running now.
This should be the best bang for bucks engine management option for our cars, seeing that after you have tuned and installed it, then you have to sell it, you wont lose as much money for this as it will fit another euro or even other car brands and model. If you buy this second hand like me, and deciding not to get it tuned, this system should only cost no more than $1000. I think it is WORTH it!!!!!!
I think cost wise, e-manage ultimate was about AUD$900 and the boomslang harness is about AUD$300 shipped when the AUD was strong (correct me if im wrong).
Jtuned flash is about $1300? but you cant resell it?
Apparently the e-manage ultimate has completely independent control of fuel and ignition (i.e. sends voltage directly) so there's no problem with it relearning. If you plan on running cams it'd be worth looking into a standalone that can control the VTC.
Im not an expert on this but what I have read, the emanage sits between say stock ecu and say injectors. When stock ecu picks up data sent from the sensors, and resending data to injectors, emanage is adjusting this data and send it to injectors. So the stock ecu doesnt know there is any difference..correct me if im wrong anyone...LOL..
plus,,if anyone knows anywhere cheap to get my car dynoed...pls let me know..I cant wait to see what number my car is pulling with these heavy 12kg 19" rims lol.
I've been waiting for you to install the EMU for ages lol, sounds like a good result especially for the price. Look forward to seeing some dyno numbers
