The Ultimate GReddy Turbo Kit Thread

Are you having problems idling? The emanage should have no function when ideling whatsoever. Was the car "tuned" on the previous owner? Best thing to do is unplug the emanage and fire it up. Dont drive it just see if she comes on ok and is ideling fine. This will negate the emanage being the cause of the startup. Followed by reapplying the base map. And dont be frustrated this is a part of being boosted.

So the emanage is completely separate, correct? If I were to take the kit off, and removed the emanage and just put all stock parts back on, would I need to do anything with the stock ecu?
But I'll try what you said and just start it without the emanage on. As for the basemap, is that applied to the emanage or stock unit?

If you took everything off and a removed the Emanage you would have to do nothing, correct. The Emanage unit is separate and is a piggy back unit. The basemap is applied to your emanage unit. Is it very hot where you are? Also do you have an idea on the amount of PSI you are running?

Ok that's good news there. And it's not horribly warm right now (around 70) but the car is used to being in vermont, which is a bit colder I'm sure. But is it possible the emanage needs reset or anything? It really seems to me like the engine just isn't getting fuel sometimes, and i can't imagine there being a clog in the filter or a bad pump or something. the guys at the shop said it's starting and running no problem now, but i'm TERRIFIED of it happening again.

Chris, is it better to leave on the radiator cooling plate during hot weather (90 degrees and up) or to remove it so the fans can blow (albeit hot) air past the engine?

cfreeman: you will need a gauge to be able to check fuel pressure. Is your fuel tank all the way full? Try filling it up and see if you get the same symptoms. I apologize for not remembering but did you say you had an A/F gauge?

What would you guys suggest as the must do modification to the factory GReddy T518Z without replacing it completely? I understand thats its weak point is the fact that it is a T25 flange, but would that be something we could port out a bit to help? I know porting will never solve the problem completely like a T3 changeover would. What kind of power are people making on AP1's w/ E85 and an AEM?
