Dsmlink or Greddy E-manage

[DSMsOwnYourV8]

Alright so here are my mods, Forced Performance 4" Intake, Ported Big 16g EVO 3, Ported SBR cast manifold, 3" Turbo-back Exhaust, Tial 38mm External Wastegate, Walbro 255, Weapon R FPR, Boost Gauge, Precision Fmic with 2.5" piping + 3" Gm Maf/Maft combo (blow through). Hks SSQV Bov, Aem Wideband, Visteon Radiator.

I plan on buying a set of 1150's for injectors and I also have a Greddy E-01 Boost controller laying in my room (which I know I can map the e-manage on) but giving my setup, which one would you chose? My car is a 95 Talon Tsi, btw.

Yeah I know of a local guy running dual 255's, I'm sure i'll eventually be taking that route too.

Dual 255's would be good, even better if ran in parallel. A single rewired 255 should support up to around 45lb/min, now this number varies from person to person, but from my investigation and asking around, that seemed to be a general area. A 35r will outflow that with ease. Good luck, sorry i have no info on e-manage, never ran it or known anybody that has.

go with the e-manage

why? Can you give a reason for this?

My brother is running the greddy emanage/eo1 setup and cant be any happier. The price of greddy is way worth is since its so cheap compared to dsmlink.

Greddy actually has a real fuel adjusment and timing adjustment table, like a stand alone would have unlike dsmlinks sliders. All features work great on it and we are running 1150 injectors with zero issues on greddy.

He is running a 16g @ 28psi and 22* timing on e85. Car is a beast. If I was you I would go with greddy blue that can be found for real cheap since you have the eo1, but you also need to buy the timing harness for timing control.

My mechanic that runs jackstransmissions.com thinks that the greddy is actually better than dsmlink and he has ran a low 11 with dsmlink. Only thing dsmlink has that is better are the dsm only features that you cant get out of any other EMS.

Im pretty sure the limit is 650's with safc

I run 950cc with a SAFC but you'll need a chipped EPROM to do it.

Not true the safc has ran very large injectors when running a maf-t. Alot of people have made 500+whp with that setup but you need a good fuel because timing will be a little high. I plan on running e85 safc/maft combo real soon with 1150's.

To the OP I just relized your the guy that lives in the Springs and we could show you how eazy the emanage really is and how nice it is. It will give you full injector compensation, fuel control and timing control for less than $250 with the blue and timing harness.

With that setup you could run e85 right now I just reccomend swapping the paper fuel filter with a metal type and you will be fine. If you are going to run a 35r 1600cc injectors are the smallest I would go with and those may be too small. Something better than dsmlink would be needed for extra injectors which I think emanage can do.

Im glad someone has a better view on the e-manage. I was quite confident myself that the emange would be a good choice. I forgot to realize how cheap you can get an e-manage blue as well. Thats awesome.

 

[JayRolla]

Yea the ultimate is really not worth buying over the blue.

 

[Scientist]

If you want to do E-01/E-Man then the ultimate will not work.

I'm in the process of learning the Ultimate and so far I love some of the features it offers as a piggy back. So far i got the launch control working. Its great. On my person car i am about to try out the DSM Link, and on a 91 1G I'm also about to install an e-manage blue since that car is Not EProm.

Once i get it going i will give feedback on how the 3 systems compare

I figured E-manage would be more with the additional harnesses they have for sale, but if I can get it for cheaper than Dsmlink, I would rather do that. I would appreciate you showing me how easy the e-manage blue is to use because I've never tuned a car before.

Yea send me a PM and maybe you can come look at my brothers setup before you buy it. You have a wbo2 and that makes it so much easier. E85 for you is closer than you think.
