John is running an automatic and with that being said he has a greater drive train lost then people with 5sp or 6sp and also Dave has a T88H on there so you really can't compare something of that nature.

Ed, I have to agree with Din that one.
On John's GT35r at 20psi his HP is pretty much on point based on his airflow map. An emanage is tuned just as a standalone is. It tunes fuel and timing just as a full standalone does. It also changes the spark firing to sequential just like a standalone does. you also set your rev cut point and you build a map just like you do a stanalone. So in my opinion there is not much you can gain from a standalone powerwise in this scenerio. What dictates the difference is the tuner and not the Fuel Mngmnt.

jesus

where do you guys get ur info from

driveline loss on manuel is between 12-15% driveline loss on auto between 18-23% and john would be on low end because of shift kit/valve body upgrade



emanage is a piggyback no matter how you slice it , it intercepts the signal and makes adjustments to timing by delaying sig pos or neg so no direct control .. it still relies generally speaking on stock ecu main maps as a look up point for ref and makes adjustments accordingly

if john was on a standalone with same components he would be easily in the mid to low 500 range


taken from greddys own website

"The GReddy e-manage Ultimate is as close to a stand-alone management system as you can get while maintaining the best features of a "piggy-back" engine management; an economical price, the usage of existing sensors, the ability to easily alter factory settings and not having to tune from scratch. But unlike the original e-manage, the Ultimate is more refined, requiring specific application usage " ALTER IS THE KEYWORD THERE not program as a good tuner would say "what numbers i program in are what comes out , nothing to fight or change"

ultimate is probably the best piggyback out there but its still a piggyback for us na-t's standalone is a neccessary evil

I was talking about the REAL Ge blocks, not that weakling vvti they called a 2j. Totoya got smarter in 98 and made it weak so you dont have a choice but to upgrade the internals if you want to make power.

If John was a manual with a 12% or 15% drive train lost he only loses between 55.6 HP to 69.6 HP and but since he is manual he loses between 89.5 HP to 102.3 HP when it hits the pavement. if he was manual he would be at close to or above the 500 mark.

shift kits and valve body upgrades don't give you power but simply give you a better timing response out of your transmission. by being in two gears at once when shifting up. It's known as shift overlap. Shift kits reduce or eliminate the shift overlap and speed up actuation of the shift, hence the harder feel to the shift. A shift kit will reduce wear because you won't have the trans trying to be in two gears at once."

this just mean the car can handle more without breaking.

again din wrong info

valve body upgrade alter line pressure sir and by altering line pressure it brings the shifts quicker and by bringing it on quicker can help to min drive train loss slightly by keeping it within powerband as opposed to delaying the shift points as designed by toyota for a smooth transition

and with standalone control timing would be brought on at diff points to improve trq delivery hence making more power on same boost, now if john also changed out trq converter to say a 3200 or 3400 stall his car would be a true rocket

You are correct

but for daily driver we prefer the use of piggybacks simply because most are very easy to tune and with a wideband street tuned it to your liking. for a daily driver I would PREFER a piggyback because you can when you drive alot and especially when your going from one state to the other like lets say New York my brothers Supra when it was up there he had a problem with a cold start the car was cranking and cranking but it kept shutting off and eventually it started. but when I had the E-mangle blue it started with one crank.

Point noted!
Even if he had a standalone his power will not be much different then what it is now. For 2 very fundamental reasons. His Air flow map based on his turbo's spec and his 550cc injectors. More than 470 you enter the red zone in 550cc injector's duty cycle. You can make more than 500 on his set up but it wont be reliable on whatever fuel mngmnt system. He can adjust timing and squeeze out a few more horses but still you are out of the safe duty cycle. If he adds bigger injectors, his timing map can be adjust and make more power at 20psi.
A piggyback will always be a piggyback, but does not mean that it makes less power if tuned properly.
So it comes down to how verse you tuner is with your set up.

The valve upgrade to to do with fluid but it still has nothing to do with drive train lost if so it is very very minor. The breaking point of the automatics is its shift the long it takes for the transmission to shift. The point in having a valve body upgrade is a Luxury. when you upgrade the valvebody you lose that Luxury.

Makes alot of sense for a daily and if its not a GE Piggbacks work fine on GTE motors since the ecu system was made for a turbocharger. A piggyback on a na-t engine can be a nightmare when it comes to timing.

Yes that is true.

the stock ECU tunes itself base on O2 sensors if I am correct. When you tune on a AEM FIC, Emanage Ultimate, Map Ecu2 and etc what alot of people do not acknowledge is O2 Feed back. When you tune your car for boost you also tune your car so the O2 sensor feedback so that your stock ECU does not see boost from the O2 sensors so it keeps the stock ecu in its cycle.

When I had my application I had a Split Sec ESC-1 so the car never saw boost and I was tuning on a E-manage blue. I ran 438 on 14PSI and for over a year.

if standalone is tuned correctly for start you have no cold start issues period

rem on standalone we have no 02 feedback to confuse things .. i have zero coldstart , hotstart idle or any other problems period

You can't confirm that as of yet. I was talking about 10 to 30 degree F.
