HeyI'm thinking of getting a JWT ECU but have heard about the Greddy e-manage. Are there any other options? What are benifits with JWT ECU vs Greddy e-manage. I have a labtop, but how hard is it to program the greddy emanage, and does anyone here do this? Will I gain more power with the greddy emanage and if so, how does it benifit vs the JWT? I can't find much information on this online, seems like everyone that uses the emanage has a turbo.

Will this be for a car that stays strictly NA or are you looking to go Turbo later on? They both have their advantages...Personally I like the plug and play goodness of the JWT ECU, but the E-Manage is pretty cool as well.

going to stay away from turbo. just dont have the money, don't really care for the power because i'm happy with it now. will autocross my car so I dont want the lag either but who knows there might be a meet holloween and i'll see what anthonys car is like. maybe after that i'll need a turbo.

wolf does all of balanced high=-end turbo cars, and did chris mays 438 rwhp turbo KA...

i'm talking to jeff at balanced and wolf right now(oooh threesome!) about grinding me some casm, a Z32 MAF, removal of the governor, and some other items I want pre-turbo...

we'll see how it goes.-chet

The e-manage only allows +-20% fuel control which isn't even to properly tune for 370cc since they are 36% larger than the stock 270cc. Very disappointing!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought with the computer program for the e-manage you could adjust more than 20% I still think the JWT ecu is better though :)

I'm running an E-Manage with 370cc injectors. The 20% adjustment nly applies if you do not have the support tool. With a laptop and support tool, or the E-01, you can tune with much more precision. According to the Manual, it is up to 50% larger injectors, but popular belief in the E-Manage community is that if the ECU can handle the inputs of lower MAF readings and drive the injectors at low enough duty cysles, it can handle even larger injectors.
