How does e-manage and EM-CON compare?

 

[yeehau86]

E-manage Blue & M7 EM-CON are basically the same module, as what I have read. And the price is around the range of your budget excluding dyno + installation.

Hmm which is a more worthy buy since they are the same..

In terms of adjustment wise they are the same ?
How about reliability ?

Anybody knows where i can get the two of this in KL/PJ cheap?

 

[thilaksharma]

i dont tink Vtec guys go for emanage anymore
they head for crome or Neptune , it has more controls to ur ecu compared to a emanage

Neptune RTP License for Demon no chance Emanage gonna go near this
< C R O M E > Basic Features

How much is Crome and Neptune?
These are piggybacks or standalone ?

 

[ahmedshaikhani]

Crome is not a ecu, it is use to chip OBD 1 and Neptune is a standalone. Crome is a best option and a cheap it has many features launch limiter, rev's, vtec controller, fuel tables [High and Low], ignition tables [High and Low]

I have no idea from where to get Honda chipped with crome in Malaysia. These days I'm not in Malaysia otherwise I would have done it for you. I don't own a shop, its just my passion and hobby. For chipping you need to have OBD 1 wiring with OBD 1 Distributor. If its not OBD 1 you can OBD 2 to OBD 1 conversion harness and OBD 1 distributor. Which engine do you have ?

 

[rakyat]

H22A should be OBD1

Is this similar to those rechip being offered or is Crome a proprietary chip? From the website it seems like just a software. The eprom installed is generic?

 

[AD_EG]

bro H or B or D vtec engine?

get a chipped ecu to remove rev cut etc.

go for VAFC or HONDATA. but based on ur budget. VAFCII will suffice. 2nd hand RM700-800 can get. tuning rm200

i strongly do not recommend to get an emanage...

VTEC sifu has spoken. Bro ad_eg, what do you think of Crome or Neptune? There are claims that Crome is same if not better than Hondata. I don't know anyone using it, so would just like to know.

bro im far from Sifu category ... still a lot to learn.

not too sure about crome or neptune bro...but from the typical comments about ECU discussion is.

"all depends on tuner"

so if your tuner is good with neptune or chrome....better go that way...if your tuner is pro vafc/hondata...thats the route you got to go... :)

another thing is whether all those functions in an ECU is something you require or not..and according to budget or not. different setup/application will require diff kind of ecu..

thanks for the link mate. that one post certainly cleared the doubts on whether hondata or crome.

about bro ad_eg's statement. maybe some of us dont need all the functions in hondata, so vafc would be just fine. this makes sense too. anyone here would say that the only way to go is Hondata? if so, why?

 

[mADmAN]

imho, hondata isnt that expensive these days as compared to when it first came out... one advantage we have is that hondata (s300 especially) is practically the cheapest standalone ECU around that i know of.

plus, it has basically ALL the parameters ull ever need and mebbe more.

at least with this, you can better fine tune your engine to your setup... and best of all you can better fine tune your engine to your FUTURE changes.

i for one am on VAFC + spoon chip. and i would really love to have hondata to fully take advantage of my new setup as well as my future changes. not just about fuel mapping...but also ignition timing etc...

Obd1 Ecu P08/P30/P27/P28.... Hondata S300 or S300J

 

[ahmedshaikhani]

Hondata has an edge over crome no doubt, standalone is a standalone. In Crome you have to go through a long process. Tuning in crome goes this way, need to open ecu first, take out the chip, make a map on crome, burn the chip, lastly place back into the ecu. If you need to alter the map again you need to open your car ecu again. Hondata is not like that, its real time tuning, you can login into ecu make maps and your done. Hondata has an edge if you talk in terms of specs. Like more vast tuning, anti-lag function, fuel + ignition cuts and many others. Crome is the cheapest solution to get launch limiter, accurate afr and aggressive ignition timing. I had my hands both on hondata and crome.
