OK guys here is the news...I've hooked up the igniton harness with no problems. Each one of the signal wires going to the coils has had a 1W 3.3V Zener diode placed in series...REVERSED BIASED. Basically this means that any signal from the e-manage below 3.3V will not be able to go to the coils...meaning that there is NO idle current load on them. This also means that the 5V signal from the e-manage is actually 1.7V...much closer to the factory signal voltage (Zeners work by allowing only a voltage flow over what they are rated as....therfore 5v - 3.3v = 1.7v)

I've noticed no ill effects on the auto shifting...in fact it's improved for me as the CAS is now set back to it's factory position, with only the problem RPM points retarded.

I hope that for some of you this is good news.

Sounds fantastic to me!

More kilowatts in th making!

Forgot to mention that the check engine light comes on when the harness is wired in, this is due to the ECU self-check on start-up. This can be eliminated by getting the GReddy e-manage ignition signal adaptor…as far as I know this is only applicable to the R34 and WGNC34.

This however doesn’t interfere with the performance of the car, just is annoying to see it on the whole time.

Another thing guys....the e-manage 100% allows the timing to be advanced...I know this has been a source of discussion as to how it does it....it just does :P

At Idle advancing 10 degrees there is a noticable change in pitch from the engine, retard 10 degrees and it reverts back to normal. Proving the "psychic" abilites of the e-manage to predict the timing and therefore advance it actually works!!!

It's actually most likely as someone suggested...running the timing a cylinder out and reordering it in the correct firing sequence....to mimic and advanced state.

Hi Dan, what does "with only the problem RPM points retarded" mean?

SK...my car is an N/A with a turbo bolted on....problem RPM points just reffered to the factory ECU...where the timing is a bit too agressive under boost. It's the odd RPM point through the MAP that needs to be retarded a tad.

A little off topic but I remember reading in a magazine that Apexi are now making power fcs for auto chasers, so they must have come up with the know how to control the shifts.

Toyota shift logic is not the same as Nissans, not as good either :)

Additional bit of news...those who connect the ignition harness and find the engine check light stays on (R34 and WGNC34) The supplimental harness from Greddy works and prevents the light falsely turning on.

Wonder if that works on the R33 series 2 as well. I get the engine check light too now I have the ignition harness connected.

On another note I tried one of the new GReddy E-manage knock sensor adaptors the other day on my RB25......it didn't work. Just throws a knock sensor fault :rofl:

From trust's website.

GReddy e-manage Ignition signalAdapter 1  

The occasion where in vehicle (ER34 ・ WGNC34 and the like) of neostraight 6 the ignition harness of e-manage is installed, the factthat the check lamp of vehicle side lights up is preventedAdapterThe 。which is  

Each ignition signal input of e-manage (ECU side) to the line and theground the 。which wires  

To 6CH the 。which corresponds  

CODE: 15900906  

Price including tax: 1,890 tax removal price: 1,800  

mambastu....funny stuff I bought one of those knock harnesses too! Yeah it makes the timing retard more than ever...must just be the way the nissan ECU works.

The check engine light one is good though, I don't have that annoying orange thing glaring at me anymore :rofl:

It probably would work on the SII as it uses the same coil-packs.....

Thinking of getting emanage and Profec e-01 boost controller for my r32, how does this compare with a powerfc with hand controller and boost kit? The emanage with all options and the profece-01 work out to be cheaper than the special r32 gtst powerfc, with boost solenoid and handcontroller.

Hi xRHETTx, Emanage is an interceptor, it takes signals from the sensors and bends them, so the standard ECU still runs the engine. A Power FC (FC = Full Computer) replaces the standard ECU completely. There is no comparison, you will NEVER be able to do with an Emanage what you can with a Power FC.

For an R32 you really should look at tuning your standard computer. A simple rewritable chip upgrade will give you everything the Emanage will, plus a bit more. The Power FC is another couple of steps up of course.

So it really depends on your power target and what upgrades you intend to do.

Hope that helps :)

Hey all...

Im needing some help with the E-manage...

im looking to see if anyone has some fuel maps that they could share or dissuss with me...

its for a Rb20det engine...its not in a skyline but i thought this would be the best place to ask for a helping hand..

Thanks

Remapping the original ECU is probably the best option. PM or e-mail me if you need further details...

Hi Guys i have just bought the emanage for my r32 gts-t with the ignition and fuel looms, but in the box with the main unit there is a small resistor and a connector in a seprate bag, now i have looked through the manuals but cannot find were this is to be used, i have the e-manage in the and the car runs, but i dont want to go to far without finding what this is for?, any help is good?.

Thanks

Nathan

Look on page 46 (Section 19) :D

It is for some mazda motors.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
