Default Gauging interest for GReddy E-manage Group Buy

Note to moderators: This post is NOT a group buy and is to simply gauge interest for the Greddy E-manage. If enough interest is shown, proper steps will be taken to make the GB official.

I’ve been considering this for a while. I was waiting until the support tool (software and CPU cable) were readily available to the general public. They ARE now! Please look at the pics below for product info or check out http://www.greddy.com/products/electronics_frame.htm.

The E-manage retails for $379. With this GB we would get the main unit for$275, Support Tool $105, ign. or inj. harness at $35 each, pressure sensor $95, pressure sensor harness at $29. Shipping would be $15.

We would need a minimum of 10 Buyers for these prices. Prices could drop with more buyers. Area 51 uses the E-manage on their SC. It will definitely work for the SC, GS, and Supras. So this GB will most likely extend to members of Suprafourms.com. I’m personally going to buy one either way but I’d love to save over $100! I spoke with a Greddy tech and it’s confirmed they will work perfectly for our cars. But as far as this GB would go, WE are responsible for figuring out how to hook it up and tune it. Most authorized Greddy dealers shouldn’t have a problem with the installation however. I simply mean we couldn’t return it because we don’t know how to do the install.

So now’s the time to show interest, ask questions, etc. I will do my best to find the answers. If all looks good the GB will start late Dec early Jan.

Regarding the new Group Buy Revised Policy, this group buy/interest is still in effect. Thanks.

Greddy just released the E-01 as well, you guys might want to look into that.

If anyone wants to put together a buy, let me know... After all I purchased more Greddy last month than any other dealer in the US

there's a site where you can get the software and data cable for like $429; ignition harness is extra

all you need is a cheap laptop

So this thing is a AFC, a boost controller and a timing controller all in one? You can buy it on mkiv.com for $299, in case the GB doesn't happen for you....How come it says it doesn't work with the 1UZ-FE?

LS400: are you saying that this thread is in violation of the rules? If so... it seems kinda strange that all these Lexus owners can gather here, but not discuss a group buy on a product... where are they supposed to do it?

Bean, that's not a bad price but with this GB we could get the e-manage and software for 380!! That's $49 below the website you're referring to. Plus even the accessories are discounted. These are honestly the lowest prices I've seen which is why I plan to work very hard to make the GB happen.

Also if anyone's interested, GReddy’s new E-01 replaces the need for a laptop plus adds extra features of its own. There’s a pic below.

Miles B, I’m still checking on the SC4 but now I’ve only confirmed the 2jz-ge. GReddy has not ‘officially’ tested the 1UZ-FE or 3UZ-FE. They’ve told me it’s a universal product and should work on the entire Lexus line with no problems.
Also LS400 was stating that even though there are new GB rules, this one for the e-manage will still be allowed to continue as planned. So it looks like there’s enough interest to make it official. The GB will most likely extend to Supraforums to pickup the rest of the 10.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The ‘Support Tool’ includes BOTH the software and the data-link cable to connect the e-manage to a CPU. So you could get the e-manage for 275, support tool for 105, for a total of only $380!

sweet... wish i had the cash to thrash

but guys this gets my vote; definitely worth the money...

its got a nice fuel tuner and easy to program for big injectors; and for timing changes (you turbo guys know what i mean) that you need when you have the optional ignition harness

Cool... I'm thinking about trying my own 1UZ-FE twin turbo...

Over here, you can pick up a second hand engine for like 800 US Dollars if I blow it up, so it's not a huge risk. So this thing could handle my big injectors, both wastegates, and adequately do my fuel and ignition adustments?

Is it true that the SC400 ECU retards the timing when it is about to change gears? Reason I ask is I want to swap in a manual, and get rid of the timing retard.....

I just wanted to put the "Im interested" note down if you can come up with something. I was going to get an Apexi SAFC but if im understanding correctly, this would do the job and even be able to be used later on when I get a turbo. Ill be gone for two weeks in late December to be a ski instructor but I will return right after New years and Ill have to money to get it. So if it goes through, please pm me Evotuned. Thanks for doing all the work.
