I have emanage ultimate, tuned by the best emanage tuner. I've been in countless turbo cars (not just s2000s) with countless systems. I have yet to find a car that is not stock turbo that runs better than mine. 110 degree heat or -20 degree freezing temps, not even a hiccup. Car runs better than stock. It's the tuner, not the emanage.

 

Thanks. I'm trying to find the exact problem with mine so I don't have to dish out a bajillion more dollars trying to fix it. I'll drive it a little more today and see how it's acting.

 

any word on the CEL?

 

Pulled codes today. P0171 and P0170. System too lean. That's bad right? It was running fine up until yesterday. I didn't push it either. Boosting only to about 5 or 6 lbs maybe once or twice since I got it from the tuner on Thursday. Is my motor junk? Should I start looking for a new one?

 

I would put the base map back on the EMU (if you can) and find a different tuner. You did upgrade you fuel pump, right?

 

Well that is the point of the CEL sir. You really cant assume you have damaged your engine until you pull the head off and look around. I am with realblag here and I would put basemap back on and look for a different tuner. As much as I hate saying this but depending on your resources of who can tune if they dont feel confident then maybe look into the AEM unit. Not because its better only because it has more support tuner wise. Also depending on the person who orginally tune it you could contact them and explain you are running lean uptop and see about a retune!

 

Yeah I have a walbro 255 pump. I really don't want to do that since it took them 3 days to tune my car and $600 to do it. I wish I knew what my AFR was. I don't have any gauges so I can't tell.

 

you should maybe consider buying one then...
That was the first thing I got when I put my kit on. I have to know how my car behaves exactly. Plus it helps diagnose the problems like yours when they pop up

 

Driving around without knowing your AFR with Boost is like going sky diving without checking the parachute and assuming all is well.

 

I plan on getting one. Seeing as I can't get anywhere without my car. What else could be the cause of a P0171? The tuner said the car was 14 idle.
