FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi,

i'm want to buy an e-manage engine control unit (which is blue in colour). Is the standard package good enough to hook onto my fto or do i need addition harness and stuffs. Please give me some advise. Thank you

I recommend buying the e-manage + injector + ingnition harness

This gives you control over 16 X 16 map points (16 rev points X 16 throttle positions) of both injector duty cycle and ignition timing.

Quite powerfull piggyback.
I think just installing it without these harnesses is kind of a waste of time

Try to hide the unit its a bitch though. & any cop will defect it with no question ask.

what kind of power increase are we talking about?

Would it fit in the glovebox? and then maybe a false floor style thing

Grant, i would stick to the Unichip you got.

yeah it was more curiousity on my part

Just out of curious, does anyone know who can install & tune this e-manage in Australia or better still in Melbourne.

I take it you are talking about the greddy e-manage system which I believe version 2 has just come out and sposed to be a lot better.

Only place I know of is RPW in perth install and tune it for FTOs.

What is defective about it?

Under Australian law, any piggyback computer modification to the ECU for street car is illegal. (notice 90% of aftermarket ECU company advertise their products on drag cars)

Since its too big for hide away it very easy to spot on the floor of your passenger side. The worst part is, most of the people who i've know got this just leave it on the floor without securing it, which also count as "unsecure load".

But apart from that, i've heard its a great product, you might get away by securing it, & tell the cops its an audio amp.

Grant I wouldn't bother changing your unichip either... I'm sure it does the job well enough.

As far as installation is concerned, having read through my manual it looks fairly simple and I think any good tuner/installer should be able to do it. All I would recommend though is get a tuner that has atleast tuned one before and maybe has the software/cable or alternatively borrow it from a friend as it's quite expensive!

I was told the ingnition and injector needs to be changed for the ingnition + injector harness and fuel pump needs to be changed as well..quite costly actually to have a e-manage put onto the car.

No none of it need chaning.
It's just additional harnesses to control your ignition and injector cycle.

It even has a feature where as if you get say 40% larger injectors, you dial that in and it compensates for them.
If you get the e-manage by itself its a total waste of money IMHO. Might as well get one of those apexi safc things, at least it'll look cool

mm i have a question

is there any difference between the ECU's in the fto?

i got my car dynoed today at 106.4kw, (cai and zorst) and the afr was sitting nicly between 12.2 and 11.7 and the dyno guys looked at it and isntantly asked me what ecu i was using cus it had to be brilliant.... but i know others have really funny afr's ? so whats going on?



not bad for a run on wet tyres huh!
