Greddy E-manage on a 2001 relearning ECU
My friend was telling me about the e-manage unit and said that it should clear up the constant CEL and the it should improve power and performace.
From my research it one step up on the S-AFC and one step bellow the UTEC. From what I know the S-AFC in terms of the MY01's is that its pretty much a expensive guage because the ECU on the 01's have a re-learning capablilty so the settings may stay for only a few days or so. And the UTEC is beyond my price range.
I was thinking I should give the E-manage a try... to see the full potential of my car: Larry Ganz CAI w. K&N filter, UD Pulley, Borla 2nd Gen Headers, Stromnung Cat-Back and SS Dual tip pipe. I was able to get a 15 flat on the 1/4 and a 15.3 on avg. And this was done with the CEL and all. Auto-x'n is alot better than stock I think due to the UD pulley and the free flow exhaust. But again this was all done with the CEL.
I scope of the post: Will the E-manage be worth it even though the ECU will relearn the mappings? OR Does the E-manage cancel out the relearning capablities of the Stock ECU?
Thank you

Nothing will "cancel" the re-learning capabilities short of replacing your WHOLE ECU.
A piggyback is something that interprets your stock signals and changes them to a particular offset. There is no way the eManage is exempt from the ECU algorithm

Ok. The thing that makes an E-manage more effective than an AFC for a 2001 (which just isn't effective) is that it adds fuel by directly adjusting the injector duty cycles as oppose to simply modifying the MAF signal, which the AFC does and which causes the ECU to gradually relearn. In this sense, the E-Manage is AFAIK, indeed a good solution for 00-01 RSs. Search around for more info, including on other club sites.
