Is it worth it? Would anyone know where to get it for ... well .. cheap? Some where like under $400 would be awesome.

Anything would help. Thanx

 

I've seen one for $425 supposedly brand new in box....I'll see if I can send you a link.

If you have an eManage, it's the only way to go IMHO.

 

Can't you access more functions of emanage with a laptop than with the Profec E-01?

 

I'm not sure about more, but it has to be a world easier with the laptop to enter in maps.

 

Do you need a boost controller?

 

Check his homepage....

 

i was going to get the eo1, but that sucker is huge and looks ugly sitting on the dash. i opted to go with a profecb instead. shiet profectb sitting on top of the greddy turbo timer in the center of the dash under the radio looks sweet.

 

The Profec e-01 is a boost controller, as well as many other things...

Huge and ugly huh...? I don't think so... I think mine looks pretty sweet!

Let me explain what everything is...

From far left, clockwise:
Profec e-01 screen (Huge and ugly?)
AEM UEGO WB02
Passport 8500 x50
XM Radio antenna (Below radar detector)
New Giga "Sleek" air freshener (Ricey!)
Defi gauges (EGT, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure)
Alpine head unit
Delphi XM MyFi (Portable XM Radio)
Tein EDFC controller
Greddy Turbo Timer
Profec e-01 wired remote control
Yeah, I like gadgets...

 

hrmm I am not really a turbo expert by any means, but I do have a PRofec E-01 with an emanage and know what it is and does for the most part...... :>

maxima_kid asked "Greddy's Profec E-01 ... Is it worth it?"
Ice responded that is was the only way to go if you have an emanage...
Neal responded about how a laptop may have more control...
I was just simply asking if he indeed needed a boost controller or was he looking to control the emanage with it, or possibly more. :>

Sorry for the confusion. Just trying to help ;>

OK and I did check his homepage. Good thinking. :>
He does not have an electronic boost controller from what I can see.


watch out for the NA version of the e-01, make sure you get a complete one unlike the following (unless I am missing something) : http://autoteckmotorsports.com/produ...823&language=1

www.mohdparts.com does not have any in stock now, but it is not near $400.
Maybe you can find one used or on ebay.

 

Yes, only way to go IMO w/eManage, since it allows you to monitor, log, and tune on the fly plus control boost for the same price as many other high-end units that only control boost. If you don't have an eManage, I'd choose another unless you're after the bling factor.

There is one currently available NIB for $425 on another boards' Classifieds unless it has sold.

 

Yea, I would like a boost controller. I was thinking of a simple manual one but a decent one is about $100 or so, the support tool for the laptop is about another $100. I was wondering if the extra $250 would be the wiser choice to have an electronic 'all in one'.

There are no used ones on eBay, atleast not so far. If Im lucky, I should be able to get one for about $450 but Im almost always at home when the auction ends so no luck yet.

I figured Id try here, maybe someone would know a place.

 

Id say the ProFec B2 is roughly $300 out the door and the support tool is about $100. If using a laptop is much less of a headache, I think Ill go with that. Only problem is needing to borrow the gf's laptop whenever needed.

Bling Factor? As in the price for it? It doesnt seem to be worth the high value for all greddy electronics if thats what you mean. But it gets the job done.

 

No, not hugh and ugly at all but all those 'gadgets' are a bit too much for me.

The four gauges I have are already turning too many heads and attention I rather not have.
(too many haters around the block)

btw, this question applies to all ... With the e01, are you able to tune the emanage while its still hooked up to a running car? Is the support tool w/ laptop able to also? Or does it need to be disconnected and tuned alone, away from the car?

 

IMO, you only really need the laptop for setting up all the maps from scratch when tuning at first and if you're going to log multiple runs. Once you're done at the dyno, you'll probably only make small changes, which the e01 screen can do.

Bling factor is the large display, it looks pretty cool to me.

Once you figure you're saving ~$100 on a pressure sensor, $100 or so for a boost guage, and cost of monitoring other data, etc. plus logging, that extra $200 over a Profec B2 is worth it.

I've installed/played with a single din Profec, I'd take a Profec e01 anyday.

 

The thing is I already have pretty much most of the the gauges I would need and all switch, sensors, and plugs available for the emanage. Having something else that displays boost seems kinda a waste to me. But I guess the e01 is a right choice.

Do you know of any advantages/disadvantage, pros/cons of the e01 over the laptop? Youll need to dyno with either one anyway right? So starting from scratch is not necessary but an option available only on the laptop.
Is that right?

 

The e01 does a lot more then just display like most gauges, ie display peak, warning, log, etc.. Some electrical gauges out there do this, but they are more expensive and only do one run.

I know you can log on the e01 to the SD chip, however not as many runs as a laptop. Besides that, the e01 can do whatever the laptop can EXCEPT the ability to view/display/copy-paste/etc., which is a BIG reason to use a laptop when tuning.

 

icey2k1 i think you just made me decide on buying the e01 but if you can only get either e01 or laptop which one would you choose thnx

 

If you don't need boost control, ie the e01($350) vs a laptop?

I'd have to say...e01, but I'd ask someone who's programmed with it.

 

$350? where can you get it for $350? I need one before install and tune.

 

i need it for programming and boost control

 

Never mind. Found it on eBay. 5 available if anyone else interested. Dont know the guy, just advertising for him for free ...

Is there anything else needed with the e-01 instead of the e-01 unit itself? Does the package come with the usb cable to hook up to the emanage?
I guess I want to know what come in the box. Thanks

 

You will need injector and ignition harness I bet... I don't know for sure what the E-01 comes with but that would be my guess. Diodes for the coilpacks also. I assume that emanage would read boost off the E-01, eliminating the need for a MAP sensor (if you use a laptop and want a boost referenced map you have to use an external MAP sensor, more money).

 

You can see what comes with the e-01 HERE! The injector and ignition harnesses are used with the e-manage itself, not the e-01. So if you don't have the e-manage, you don't need the harnesses. Same with the diodes... The e-01 doesn't use the injector/ignition harnesses, that's the job of the e-manage, so it doesn't come with them. The only other harness that can be used for the e-01 though, is the external signal harness.

You will need to purchase the USB cable - I got mine from RadShack.

The e-manage can be set to use the pressure sensor when the stock MAP/MAF sensor is exceeded... I don't know too much about this feature, but I don't think the intent was to bypass the stock MAP/MAF - especially since the ECU still needs to get signals from it.

As for using the e-01 to program the e-manage - this is something you definitely don't want to do. Like IceY says, once your base map is setup (with a laptop and on the dyno) you can use the e-01 to tweak the maps, but to use it for programming the maps from scratch would be a nightmare. One thing you could do though, if you really wanted to use the e-01 to program the e-manage, is to zoom the display. The map screen is defaulted to a zoomed out view - this is where you can see the entire map, but you can zoom in on a particular group of cells so that it's easier to see/work with them.

For you guys that are curious about what the e-manage and Profec e-01 can and can't do, you should read the manuals, here, on Mohd's site - he has them all for you to see.

 

So does that mean all the sensors and harnesses I got for the emanage is now useless if I go with the e-01?

 

No. The e-manage NEEDS the harnesses to be able to do anything - needs the injector harness and ignition harness...

I'm just saying that the e-01 does NOT need the harnesses... The e-01 is a boost controller and an e-manage programmer only, it doesn't control injectors or ignition - that's the job of the e-manage...

edit: the only thing you'll really need for both the e-01 and the e-manage, is the USB cable... without it, you won't be able to get the e-01 and e-manage to talk to each other...

 

That was my point, to use the emanage along with the E-01 he will still need to buy those harnesses and diodes separately. I was saying that I didn't think it came with them, so even though he has an emanage unit and the E-01, he still needs to buy more stuff to use his emanage.

 

sorry i know old post but where do u get the diodes from and any special ones i have to look for thnx
