I am about to get the new Emanage Ultimate and was wondering what boost controller i should get with it? Any suggestions on what you use or have heard works well would be great. (I was looking at the Blitz and the HKS one but am open to any options) Thanks, Kurt

 

I'm running the Greddy Profec e-01 with my blue e-manage, and I know of many other people using it as well. It is easy to use and it can display up to 3 different features at a time. I compared the a/f reading on the profec to my innovate wideband, and it is exactly the same. Every now and then it might be off by 1, but still pretty accurate.

Another reason I went with it was because all my other engine management stuff was greddy, so I thought I'd just keep the flow since Greddy designed it all together to work... didn't want to mix anything...

I heard good things about the Blitz and HKS though, but don't have any personal experience with either one.

 

Alot of people have been going with the Bltiz boost contoller, I also am using the profec e-01 with the blue emanage, havn't had any problems with it and it's pretty accurate like what jaki said!

 

Thanks for the help. origionally i wanted to go with the profec e-01 but found out that it isnt compatible with the EU at least in some fields like data logging and some other stuff i believe. So that is why i have been having to look for new options.

 

Really? Where did you find that out? I would think Greddy designed it in mind to work with their own products... so they can sell more of those combinations and make even more money....

If you could give me a link or copy and paste some of that info, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm curious to learn more about that. I know of many people that are running that setup and I never heard any negatives from them.


edit: I just realized I said in my first post that its off by 1 every now and then... I meant to say .1 (point 1)

 

I read something from sharif i think saying that but cant find it anymore so i left a post here: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....45#post1778945

and somone said:
I was thinking that greddy might be coming out with a new Profec e-01 to go with the EU which if that was the case i would wait for it but that is just speculation i havnt heard anything bout it. I would love to see them come out with it soon though if they are (maybe SEMA). Maybe they would make it a color screen and a little less complicated. Who knows or they might not do anything.

 

Thats interesting.... may be someone that has the EU will chime in here and say exactly what doesn't work... I'm pretty interested, as I am looking for upgrading to a better ems soon, but I would like to keep the profec.

 

The Profec E-01 should work with the eManage ultimate, i'll have to triple check with Sharif tomorrow though.

I have seen Charles (CJ-Motorsports) speak volumes about the HKS EVC 5.

I don't think you'll lose either way! Let me know when you need one.

 

yeah check with sharif again i might of been mistaken but i thought thats what i saw him say. Does anyone know anything bout a new e-01 possibly?

 

Well Sharif answered my question on another thread:


So between the HKS and the Blitz does anyone have a preference or experience with either? Also does either one have a harness like the E-01 where you can make it an a/f gauge also? Thanks

 

Yeah, I just read that post. Thats quite interesting...

So far I've always been impressed with the performance and quality that HKS has delievered, but I also heard a lot of great things about the Blitz boost controller. I'd probably preffer the HKS, just because I know they always have great products with top quality, fit and finish.

 

Hey Jaki i apreciate the quick responses and all of the help. I have a fealing i am goin to go with the HKS but just wanted to see if some other people had some first hand knowllege on either units.

 

Are the problems with the E-01 and EU non existant with the HKS boost controller? Like are all of the features with the HKS usable? Thanks

 

Sorry I was late to this party. For a boost controller, I also have heard great things about the Blitz SBC-Id dual solenoid controller. I ordered a couple of them, and will installing one on my car for testing ($550 shipped). The HKS is a great unit, but the american PSI version is nearly impossible to locate....I am pretty sure HKS isnt importing it into the USA anymore...so Blitz it is!

 

The SBC Id is a great controller, but the HKS EVC looks amazing and is much preffered appearance-wise. If your going to make serious power, the SBC is probably the better one, because it can be coupled with a power meter ID and do boost by speed/gear (Cant remember which one)... The HKS does not offer that. As for getting the HKS ones in PSI, never had a problem.

 

Here is a description on the speed map feature.

- Speed Map - This unique feature allows the SBC i-D to control boost according to the speed of the vehicle (Power Meter i-D required). Speed Map boost control can be set up from a 2 stage to a 4 stage control, which allows the user to set boost according to his driving style. Speed in transfer by infrared between the Power Meter i-D and SBC i-D.

 

i have the US HKS EVC5 version.

+1 on the bling factor. its pretty cool. two switchable boost settings on the fly. plus a scramble boost setting (which i've never used)

instructions for operation are a bit hard to understand, but i've been fairly happy with it.

 

has anyone wroked with the new Blitz SBC i-Color Boost Controller. It looks awesome and has all the same features as the normal Blitz one maybe a few more not quite sure but it sure does look cool a little pricy but so id everything with a turbo car haha. So i might get that one unless there is some reason not to that you guys can think of. I plan on running that with the EU. Heres a link to the boost controller if anyone wants to see it: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...de=BLITZ-15061

If there is any reason this wouldnt work please let me know. Thanks

 

i have seen that unit, but havent used one yet. i cant imagine why it wouldnt work for you.

 

like is it able to go in and connect with the EU so that when you change the boost or the boost setting it also changes the mapping in the EU? Thanks for all the help.
