I was hoping to get some feedback on what people thought of the Greddy Emanage ultimate with karcepts' tune.

I have a 2005 AP2 that is relatively stock except for testpipe, K&N drop in filter, and LHT modified airbox. Im looking to lower VTEC and correct any lean conditions. I doubt I will ever go forced induction and I doubt I will track the car. Would Emanage be sufficient for my needs?

I spoke with a reputable S2K tuner here in FL and they told me Emanage is junk and to stay away from it. They recommened AEM V2 which they sell for $1395 plus $695 for a full tune. I cant see spending $2k just to tune this car.

The entire Karcepts emanage kit is $1170 which is more budget friendly.

I appreciate any feedback or experience you could share.

 

I ran one for months in my 2005 with intake, header, hfc, and catback (UMS tune) and had no issues. VTEC came on at 3800 and the car ran strong. I went with it because of autocross class restrictions, but it is also a good solution if you have to pass emissions testing since you will not have to do any ECU swapping.

 

If you have no idea how to use something then its going to be junk
I personally think $1170 is a bit much but for your needs and the mods you got the GEMU from Karcept is a great choice.

 

Thanks for your replies. I think Im leaning towards the emanage right now.

 

Did you ever get it? I'm looking into it also, but i don't know anyone with it.

 

I have it and it is amazing. You can't go wrong.

Awesome thanks!

 

I have it on my track s2k, no issues after about 16 days so far. 100% worth it IMO.
