so im now on the market for some kind of ems. my budget is very limited so i was thinking mspnp or the Greddy Emanage.

i have seen the emanage in work on some turbo s2000's i used to run a aem ems on my last turbo S but was a very pricey mod but i loved it.

what are some pro's and con's of having the emanage how easy is it to street tune with a good wb 02

Pro: I have one you can buy

Con: It is only an EMB

Supposedly it is easy to tune with the software (downloadable). I have only dilly dallied in it myself. I had the EMB attached to the car but never ran the car with it on there.

why is the megasquirt so much better though dont they both just piggyback and control the fuel system? i was looking at the Emanage more as a temporary unit till i can upgrade to a aem unit.

how much are you selling yours for? cant PM yet still to much of a noob

Well a MS can piggyback, or it can fully replace your comp. I would view the MS as the creme de la crop, despite its low price tag compared to AEM units. Its resolution far surpasses that of an Emanage.

but the Emanage is still fully capable of tuning a 5 or 10 psi miata without issues right its not like running and Emanage will cause my motor to blow if tuned properly.

MS will do just about everything the expensive *** AEM that you want later does.

MS>>>>>>>emanage hands down. Not even a comparison

mazda/nissan

the introductory price lures some though

18psi

while the ms is capable of whatever boost you want to run. And big injectors. And lots of other stuff.

like I said, no comparison

mazda/nissan

iTrader: (2)

and technically the emanage can run larger injectors, I think it is up to 120% original size? I can't remember anymore. But yes the MS is chock full of option and will be the final ECU you shall ever need.

HAHA I'm one of those people that always jumps at the low prices

I have learned my lesson though: you can do it right from the start, or do it right later. Whether you want to dick around and spend more money in the long run is your choice

so MS is the way to go understood. but if i want a short term solution because my funds are not where they should be a Emanage should be able to hold me over on supra green tops and 5 psi for a bit till i get a MS

Why not a DIY MS? ~250$

18psi

iTrader: (76)

The question is, WHY?

Cost of emanage + cost of supra injectors and you're pretty close to the price of a diy ms.

scottieboy5612

iTrader: (1)

i already have the injectors just looking foe engine managment. i just wouldnt be able to trust a diy unit running my car thats all

18psi

iTrader: (76)

It either works or it doesn't. LOL what would you not trust?

mazda/nissan

iTrader: (2)

ya know 18psi, one could ask why you don't have a MS?

the more im actually reading about the Emanage the less and less i want one lol. what does a used megasquirt ussually go for. whats the deal with the ones that Braineack makes?
