our cams are better...
e manage is pnp now...right? that is what I thought with the new greddy kits

e manage and aem ems are the ones out. aem has a new pnp b/c a guy was having problems with the installation of the TSI turbo kit.

but what is the extent of these management systems? can they even compare to the kpro that many are waiting for? is it worth the hassle? people with greddy are not having problems but that is with f/i. what about n/a applications?

listen not to put anyone down but in my op. i think piggybacks are no good all they do is trick the computer and the computer try''s to fight it so there's like a battle between your ecu and the piggyback going on and you have no idea plus when your computer is in close loop and you try to add more fuel your computer will fight to get it back to it's oringal value stored in the tune.......dose anyone get my point or do i make no sence here i have alot of experince with piggy backs and personally i don't like them reflash's or standalone's are the way to go :) plus too with are new super smart ecu in are cars if it notice it richer then it's supposed to be or leaner you will throw a cel light

piggy backs are good to certain point i say we just be patient and want for hondata, or cob or someone out there to either make a ECU for are car or a standalone system this is my 2 cents

p.s i alot of the RSX's guys who bought the greddy kit have junked there emanages and switch to k-pro and theres a hell of difference with how the reacts idle is better cruz throttle is better and WOT too bottle lets just wait a little more

I think you may be a little confused. When your running boost, and are running part throttle, your car keeps switching from closed to open loop. It will fight it, your right. In an all motor set-up, your not going to have this problem. Theres a fast and easy fix for that. unplug your main o2. This will place the car in constant open loop. When running boost, just tune around it. Works like a charm.

Your controlling your fuel curves with the piggy back. Yes, there will be that little light.

yes ultimate and its EMANAGE ULTIMATE AND THE HARNESS FOR 600 shipped.. its never installed. I took a look at it and saw that they didnt set the defaults from teh factory for our cars, didnt want to take the time.. when i called up greddy they told me what ot set everything to, and emailed me a basemap for a stock motor, i believe it was a ctr map. I just never decided to use it, But it seems that emanage ultimate should work better with a NA car then a FI because the stock ecu runs partial throttle and closed loop, so when your not flooring it you have issues with "part throttle boost" and other issues while not in open loop.

IF you get greddy's " presure sensor " for 100 bucks, you wont have any issues what so ever with part throttle boost. The reason you have this issue is because you tunning off of throttle pressure, and you really need to be tunning of boost pressure. Get the pressure sensor, keep your set up, have it tuned profesionally and you'll love it. trust me.

F/I Is always the cheaper way out for more HP per dollar.

but you get a tiny power curve from a turbo, and loss of power from heat soak from a roots blower.

gotta wait for JR to release there new blower. and still then it uses power to make power so If you dont produce power NA you dont get the full potential out of the product.

Tiny power curve from a turbo? Tell that to the Suby guys... I've never seen flatter torque curves in my life.

I'm not saying our cars aren't peaky with a turbo... I'm just saying that's a pretty generalized statement, that doesn't always hold truth. It's all in tuning, as I'm sure, based on your experience, you're well aware. :)

Besides, a tiny power curve doesn't matter, as long as you're a good enough driver to keep the car in that curve. Heck, from the factory, we've only got about 2k RPM of usable power... You're not going to do any worse than that.
