you will need the greddy support tool or get a clone cable from the emanage yahoo groups(not the supre emanage group). regular usb cables will not work.

i have not bought anything from heavythrotle but project silvia downpipe kit is really nice. heavy duty!


for the price of fmax manifold i would rather make my own.. the 90deg pipe is only about $5.50ea and the "tee" is about $10(something like that). flange is about $25 and turbo flange is about $8.


good luck on your project

[matt0941]

Thank you for the reply.

1) Are you sure I need the support tool as I will be tuning via PRofec E-01, and not using a labtop?

2) So how is the USB cable any different that I can not use a generic one?

You should also include pricing for flanges and misc. bolts.

Tial Wastegate flanges run about $30 (mild steel) to double that for stainless steel. Revhard exhaust mani runs around 400, or a jgstools for about 300. Turbo flanges, intercooler piping, bov flange are things that need to be considered also.

What are you expecting to put down powerwise daily and track sessions?

the usb cable that greddy uses is diferent. with the eo1 i don't think you need the support tool(not compeletly sure). i had the emanage before the e01 came out.

the tail flanges should only be like $8-12. it is the same as a turbonetics detagate wastegate.

[matt0941]

Well if I go with the f-max kit I don't need to purchase any flanges as it comes with one that is Tial 35mm compatible. As far as the support tool goes I am pretty sure that is only if I use a laptop.

if you do get the emanage set up let me know how it is. i'm thinking about getting the e01 boost controller.

[gwong]

I don't know if you'd be interested, but I'm getting ready to part out all my KA turbo parts to go do a SR swap. This includes mostly F-Max parts such as the manifold, downpipe extension, intercooler pipe kit w/ spearco front mount, 50 lbs MSD injector upgrade with JWT Fuel Rail & JWT tuned ECU, Cobra MAF, Garrett T3 ball bearing turbo.

Well it is shipped because it is a local shop. The guy there is really cool. They have a website up at www.tougefactory.com they have really cheap GP sports prices because they are a distributor for them.

jfyi: the sr downpipe will only replace the cat piece. You will still need the turbo extension pipe. Now considering you are using the fmax mani, i think their extension pipe runs around $100-$150. If it won't work i got quoted $220 for a mandrel bent 2.5".

walbros can be had for ~$100 shipped

Dont forget ic piping (unless your ic already includes the price)

Oh, and none of my business, but using the greddy emanage for 7-12 psi seems like a huge waste of money to me.

Just a heads up, cheapturbos.com has a starter package of any garrett t3/t04 turbo, pwr intercooler and tial 35mm wastegate for 1239. pretty good deal. Definitley a dope listing of parts but i'd say your fuel management is a little overkill for something you plan on maxing out at 12 psi. Why not go 480cc injectors and safc-II and some dyno time and save some money? Your stock MAF should still be fine with your setup as well.

I agree, I would only go to that extent on the fuel system if you plan on turning up the boost after you rebuild the motor with some forged low compression pistons and stuff like that. Other wise, stick with the stock mafs. If you want, some of us are looking at running 550cc/min injectors with a cobra mafs and just using safc (I have version 2, not the new one) to tune the fuel. search for a huge thread on that subject.
