I have a 06, rx8 with a greddy turbo kit with a blitz blow off valve. I am having a lot of problems with the e-manage ultimate, The car will not idle right, and whever it gets into boost, the car will stall. I have taken it to a tuner who can't figure it out (they are a authorized greddy tuner.) They have created custom maps and attempted to street tune it. They said the reason it was stalling was because of the blow off valve. What stand alone engine management systems are out there for my car. I want the car to drive and idle normal with no check engine lights. Anyone have any suggestions to what I can do to fix this problem? I am assuming that the stand alone will be a 100% fix.

 

4 choices that I know of :

EMU that you have - said to be pretty good once you figure it out . It does not alter settings at idle so you may have another issue.

Interceptor x - Takes over fuel & spark but difficult to tune for idle/low speed - many members have it and are 90% happy

Powermod from Aus - I have this - simple to tune but not as comprehensive as EMU

Exede from Aus - much like Emanage blue from from I hear (so not great)

 

Another option is the HKS F-Con V Pro. It is a piggy-back, but it does come with a wiring harnest for the RX8. I think it has the potential to be one of the best ecu's for the 8. Unfortunatly, it can only be tuned by an HKS Pro Dealer. So if you have one near you, it's also a good choice.

 

The tuner shop was blaming the blow off valve, it turned out that wasn't the problem, they were just a horrible tuner, and couldn't tune it right, so it wasn't the e-manage after all. Now the new problem is finding a good tuner with the e-manage. does anyone know a good tuner in so-cal?
