After changing to a much BIGGER intake, I believe the time is right for 'FrankenBenz' to have a new piggyback ECU after the disastrous 'Unichip'!!! I'm going for 'GReddy E-Manage' and I'm opting for the basic version which is the 'Blue' version as I think the 'Ultimate' is a bit overkill for my application... I just want an ECU to adjust the air fuel ratio and also the ignition timing which the 'Blue' can handle without much problem...
Hooking up the ECU is very straight forward unlike the 'Unichip' (not as easy as most tuner are not so familiar with it)... After hooking it up, it is time for dyno tune up... I was really ecstatic as the power is much higher comparing to the time when I'm running 'Unichip'... But too be frank, I don't really know whether is because of 'E-Manage' or the BIG ass air filter that is making the power... But I assume that both contributed to the increase...
Last time 'FrankenBenz' is making 246.52whp running 'Unichip' with 1 bar of boost... Now, 'FrankenBenz' is making 260.19whp!!! with 1 bar of boost as well!!! Besides that, torque figure went up as well from 301.34Nm to 331.22Nm... I'm really happy with the result!!!
I've been running the 'E-Manage' for a few months now and no major issue so far... But the engine did died on me on a few occasion and it can be restarted right after that (it happens when someone step on the wiring loom)... So no major problem if you ask me and I highly recommend this to those running '1JZ GTE' engine...
To be continue...
