Tuning the WORKS EMS-1 piggyback

[Izso]

Guys,

Anyone know the application used to tune the Works EMS-1 piggyback? Not a lot of information in Google. Wanna try tuning the thing myself.

Adrian, just how many IDs you got man? And not yet la. It's not even with me yet. You got any contacts or tuner friends who can help?

Torque racing in Jb does it bro...

try looking up for info on the Perfect Power SMT-6. exact same thing with badge engineering. Malaysia seems to excel in this, first proton, then perodua, now aftermarket also follow.. works, m7.. lol

SMT-6 is the same product? If yes then it's a PerfectPower product! Cool. This website is way more informative than the Works one.

Yes, Works EMS-1 is a rebadge of the PerfectPower SMT-6

Ok thanks. I'd like to try DIY but I am having issues getting the tuning software. I wonder if other apps will work with this?

Sigh. I haven't found the software online and the manufacturer refuses to give me a copy. So I guess I'll have to pay someone to install and tune it for me. So far the best price I've been quoted is RM350 including install.

I don't know how good it is, but I saw someone selling the MOTEC standalone for RM1500. With install and tune RM2500 which is a tad pricy but daaaaaaaamn it's a standalone!

but the motec is a really old version if i'm not mistaken... i saw the post as well... did some research and it seems like it need some kind of modem to tune it... without it can't tune...

i'm looking for a really cost effective piggyback but don't know which one to choose... i'm not going for crazy power just to tune up the air and fuel mixture... so this ems-1 really caught my attention but can't really find any user using it... still searching for reviews...

The one I'm using used to belong to a K3VE-T owner and it was working pretty well with that engine. Because it can handle close and open loop, it's ideal for the Siemens VDO ECU type of cars like mine. I'm not familiar enough with the 1JZ to give any constructive comments on how well it'll work with your engine though. What have you done with your engine? What mods requires a piggyback? Can't the stock 1JZ work with your current setup? If it's only A/F you're looking for do you have a AF meter? Perhaps you're already running at optimum AF and nothing more can be done?

I'm not discouraging you to get one (piggyback) but no point getting one if your car is working fine right?

i'm thinking of getting a piggyback so that i can increase my boost just a little bit more... currently the factory setting for the boost is only 0.7 bar and i have increase it to 0.8... i'm planning to boost it at around 1bar but without a piggyback, i can't do this as it keeps cutting the fuel... at first planning to get something like HKS FCD but after using this, the ecu won't cut fuel so there is no safety net there...

but as far as i know, stock 1JZ runs on the rich side... sometimes you can smell it through the exhaust...

Wah.. hmm.. I don't know if the EMS-1 can handle that. You might want to try asking consrito, he was the one who sold his unit to me.
