Which is a good E-mang to use

I am tryin to buy and put together all what i need to have a custom turbo built for my car and i was wondering which is a real good engine managment system that is user friendly, and is also easier to tune myself, if i want. The turbo i will be running will be a Garrett GT4094R. The only engine managment system's that i know o,f that are plug and tune is intercepter-x and Greddy Ultimate, in other words what im trying to say which out of the to is user shop friendly and easier to tune.

Good God man, that turbo is overkill (especially the turbine side).

And like CHR mentioned, more info would be nice. But you may want to look at the Int-X. Judging by the turbo you want to use, you are going to need some serious fuel.

Just out of curiosity why are you going with a turbo rated to flow over 900-horsepower?


I would recommend the Int-X, but only if you're handy tuning it since it requires constant adjustments when there are drastic changes in weather.

So, you are here in PHX? Do you ever get around to any of the local events?
I can see Laveen from my house (I'm in the Foothills).

So, who is fabricating your system? What is the layout going to be like?
Since you are going with such an enormous turbo, you will need a massive fueling system from the pump up.
You will need a stand-alone engine management to take care of the kind of power you are looking for.
Who is doing your engine build/porting/machining?

humm dam i forgot about that. I think im going to have Turblown do the turbo manifold. as far as standalone i know that is gona start eating into my pockets and budget.. im trying to go for the look like as of the mazsport stage 3 kit sits. but dont want to pay the price for that kit, i do know it comes with everything but im kind leanin towards something a little bit different. I thought about the Greddy as well but i dont like where the turbo sits. To me it just not aesthetically pleasing to me. im not sure yet about getting it ported just yet or rebuild just yet. I know Greddy probably seems like a wiser choice i just want need power and not that im in to street racing cause, im not i just want to be able to keep up with the gto and some of the other cars.

OK then. It would probably pay for you to spend some time researching your options because you are pointed down money street at the moment.

Wastegates should be vented into the exhaust system.
The wastegate on the GReddy system and my upgrade are internal, anyway.

I have an atmospheric wastegate

The only kit that has posted so far of the atmospheric is the esmeril kit.

Yeah, that's a pretty stupid option, IMO.
Just get rid of the rest of your exhaust system while you are at it.
At least you will actually make power with that option.

ok i should have just renamed this thread, but anyways what would be a good turbo to hook up with the E-Manage Ultimate since some say i that the Garrett GT4094R is to big and that i would have to use a standalone, because i really dont wana do that much work.

Did I miss any good ones?
SpeedForceRacing (SFR) has a pretty nice kit as well

A GT4094R IS too big. What A/R housings are you getting? What are your power goals? If you're getting a turbo that big the E-Manage Ultimate will max out of fuel and ignition timing before you realize half that's snails potential.

No one's attempted 420-rwhp but the compressor map on MM's custom 3071R and MFR's for the Renesis show a possible 410-rwhp or so.

Really tho, I think you're underestimating 350-rwhp in a 3000-lbs car with amazing handling and steering. 350 will easily scare you.

Not to mention start pushing more power means more boost, more aggressive ignition timing, lots of fuel, and stuff starts failing. If you want 420-rwhp, you aren't going to get it easily on pump gas, especially with the worse-than-California pump 91 catpiss we have in AZ.

It's not unobtainable, just difficult. It turns the car into a whole other beast.

I forgot about alky injection, tho, my bad.
