scott87 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I was wondering if someone could list a few options of piggyback ecu's. I've had a browse on here and on the internet but there are soo many its quite difficult to be able to choose. Basically i am looking for one that is not to expensive but will also give me (or the garage) the necessary amount of features to play with. This will be firstly fitted to my non turbo then will serve as the ecu once i go single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have heard a few members used to use the Emanage Ultimate back in the day (not so common now). However I would save up for a full ECU like the Syvecs especially as you want to single it later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now it will most likely have to be a piggyback system. I been looking at the E manage blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you plans are you looking to go NA-T? I'd personally save up and get a standalone, the ecu isn't something you want to cheap out on. You could get an AEM EMS if a syvecs is out of your price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason im not looking to go mad on the ecu, not just because of funds, is im looking for a fairly reserved power build, low boost running stock internals.

E-Manage blue sounds just the ticket for a reserved NA-T build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case either a blue or ultimate will be fine, plenty of members have used them on their builds with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just to add both pop up quite often for cheap on eBay so it's worth keeping an eye out for one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers i think i will go with the emanage then. I assume the 'general' harness that comes with it can be used with the supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a universal hardness that you wire in (solder/cut wires) or you can buy a harness. BUY a harness... pain in the ass wiring it in manually or be a mug like me and have someone do it for you as I didnt want to risk installing my own base map for the 5 hour drive to the tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my eye on one with a harness and a turbo map at the moment, not that that matters as i wont be driving the car to the garage. Ill just plug the ecu in when i get there.

Nodalmighty Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) I thought you were having Scott H's Emanage Blue package (or is that the one you have your eye on ). If you are copying his setup verbatim then It won't need much mapping to zero in on your engines idiosyncrasies. For something simple like this 150 squids fitted and mapped Lyndon.

Um I dont remember someone offering up an emanage before, but i may have forgotten? 150squids that is good How long would it take to do do you think?

grahamc Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I used to run a Link G4 standalone ECU, not as pricey as the Syvecs, but also not as good, but still rather good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Isn't the choices limited to a emanage blue/ultimate or apexi neo for a budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
