They are capable if you're only wanting to make small adjustments - Perfect for example on a N/A engine that has had headers, and exhaust and intake fitted. I see a lot of people get themselves in trouble trying to do too much with a piggy back. The piggy back takes the stock ECU signals and modifies them to achieve a change to the fuel and/or timing, so if we don't request a change then the stock mapping will remain. Normally for example the cold start, idle speed control and closed loop cruise areas can be left untouched.

If you already have the unit installed then I'd try using it but be prepared for some frustration.Ī piggy back ECU is actually simpler in a lot of ways to a full standalone as you only need to change the parts of the map that you want to effect. I haven't tuned one for probably 6-8 years or more though so maybe there have been updates in that time to improve stability. I couldn't get a result that I deemed to be acceptable so we made the decision not to tune them. Years ago when these were first released I spent some time tuning a couple and found the results to be very irregular. I'm glad you've found our products valuable!Īs far as the E-Manage goes, I've got some news and it isn't great. Hey Chris, first up thanks for the kind words. Modifications to engine: Custom Air Intake, gutted cat converter, oil catch can with pcv delete, condemned coolant through throttle body, lower temp engine thermostat, exhaust barrel/muffler changed.mid pipe still stock. My aim is to perfect the art on my personal car and build some confidence before trying to tune anyone else's car.Įngine: Suzuki 1500cc 16 valve (M15A) high compression (11:1) engine with DOHC and variable valve timing on the intake cam aloneĮCU: Greddy E-manage ultimate wired into the stock ECU via a custom made plug and play harnessĪpplication: Street car/occasional weekend warrior
#GREDDY EMANAGE BLUE VS ULTIMATE MANUAL#
While watching your courses I realized that most of your info was based on a full stand alone system and not a piggy back so I became a bit worried that it would not apply to me but having looked at the E-manage operating manual I see a lot of what Andre has spoken about from the stand alone perspective.Īnyways, I started this thread to be an ongoing discussion for me to get help from Andre/Ben and other experienced tuners that may be on here. Having completed the EFI fundamentas, Understanding AFR and the Road tuning courses, I am much more educated now and I want to undertake "re-tuning" my car with my new found knowledge together with help from you guys of course.įirstly to Andre or anyone else on here, do you guys have any experience with the E-manage ultimate? It's been supposedly "tuned" by some tuners here in Trinidad, and although I was not as educated as I am now when those guys tuned the engine, I believe that all they have done is tuned WOT on an inertia dyno on the main fuel and ignition tables. Its fitted with a Greddy E-manage Ultimate piggy back ECU. Take for instance the reason I am starting this thread, I own a 2004 Suzuki Ignis Sport.Andre/Ben I am sure you guys are familiar with it in New Zealand. "Tuning" here in Trinidad seems to be far from what you guys are teaching here.

Andre/Ben, the course material is outstanding and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with what I've learn't so far. I'm new on here and I've already purchased and looked at some of the courses from HPA.
