In Melbourne I do it, in Adelaide Martin Donnan, In Perth Speedworks with Badbiki. And there's the fact that Badbiki and PLMS both sell rom editing boards for DIY.

My contact is [email protected] 0425 818 755

More than happy to send any QLD enquiries your way, and perhaps you could return the favour....

Remapping is certainly a far better option than E-Manage.

And Mark at Hills Motorsport in Sydney also remaps standard computers, and Powerplay also in Sydney sell remaps done in jp by a ex-nismo engineer.

Plenty of choices, and a remapped standard computer is a great thing. We run them in our race cars, we get to keep the knock sensor and consult ports among other things ;)

I work for chiptorque down at the coast.  I would suggest you bring it there as we are the only people in Aus that can reprogram the factory ECU as far as I am aware.  Tell me more about it so I can give you the approximate gains.

A few mods are in my spare room at the moment but they will be before I get it tuned.

Redtop sr20det 180sx auto,

GTi-R t28, full exhaust, pod, stainless exhaust manifold, FMIC, boost controller, walbro.

I have 550cc injectors (top mount + rail + FPR) to go in, and would get a bigger AFM if recomended.

I looked at chiptorque's pricing a while back, and it was significantlymore expensive than an e-Manage($400) + tune ($200), are the prices on the website are still current and un-flexible?

I'm a cheap bastard you see.

Would definately suggest bigger AFM (z32 are good) as the standard airflow meters usually restrict power to around 160 - 170rwkw somtimes you can get more. With those mods your probly looking at around 200rwkw. This is a rough estimate. Hmmm sard injectors not my favorite to tune but they are ok. I will find out a definate price for you. You might have some time to save as our booking period is about 3 weeks in advance at the moment but we'll see what happens. You cant really compare the E-manage to a re-mapped ECU, talk to any of the guys in the know.

I am chasing around realistically 200rwkW (optimistically 210-220), so the AFM will be obtained for install at the same time.

The injectors are Denso (which I think are made by Sard anyway?), and I got the set of 4, top mount rail and malpassi adjustable FPR with guage for $350 the lot. :) Told you I was cheap.

I have a few questions (starting to get off topic, but I'll press on anyway): Are the maps preset One-size-fits-all, or is each car tuned on a dyno? Also I will be getting a high stall/transcooler/shift kit down the track, will the ECU need to be re-tuned to accommodate?

The price for the ca18det is a lot more appealing @ $600, comparable to the e-Manage + dyno time, why is the sr20det package one and a half times the price @ $900?

Also the chiptorque website is a bit thin on technical information, and what exactly is done to the ECU, whereas I know exactly what features the e-Manage will provide. Can you explain it in detail what functions of the ECU are adjusted?

Sam - Sounds like you've got much the same gear as us. Yeh we can do the r33 25 however we need to get the boards in from Japan. The focus of the company is more aimed at ford and holdens however we can tune anything really, we've recently had a couple of 360 Modena's in lately very nice. It just depends these days where you want to specialise I guess. The other thing is budget, if you could afford to R&D every car to the level that we wanted we would most definately be out of business. I'm sure you find yourself in the same predicament.

Hi there,

I just got the e-manage in my R33 skyline II (rb25det).The car running very bad and I couldn't tune it.Could you give me some idea please? Or tell me where can I go fix this problem please.

Thank you

What harnesses are you running....ignition, injection, boost?

If it's hooked up the ignition harness without using the diode trick, then your coils are probably already starting to get damaged.

Hi man

I just got an E-manage on a RB25DET .It running so terrible.I think it has the problem as what you show.And I don't know how to tune it.Could you show me the way how to fix this problem?Please?Now the car can't even run on the street.

Help please

First step is to check that all the internal dial settings are correct, the 5 screw adjustments are set to 0 and it is wired up correctly.

If there is a problem with wiring or the dials it should be flashing error codes at you.

Plugging the unit in with everything set correctly and 0 correction will have no effect on the running of the car. I have wired up 3 engines, rb20, rb25 and ca18 with no problems on start up.

Hi man,It's me again

Thank you for your reply.

I already have a quick check on the ECU there.The connetion and the setting is corret.And I set it to all 0 it comes up the sam thing.The RPM very low and no power run at all.

Please give me more opinions or show me where can I find someone to tune it.

Thanks

Jack

Jack,

Your best bet is to ring around the tuners in your city until you find someone who has tuned an Emanage before or is willing to have a crack at it.

Hey I'm in the process of looking at getting some bigger injectors to get fitted along with an Emanage and was wondering which ones are the best to use? Sard make 550cc injectors, Nismo and HKS make 555cc injectors. 555cc is right on the limit of the 150% increase over the stock 370cc injectors that the Emanage/rb engine can handle so would they still be OK? By the way my engine is an RB25DET and it's also an auto.

How much power are you targetting? If under 500 bhp, then SR20DET JDM manual injectors are worth considering.:D

With the e-manage it's the fact that the ECU adjusts the AFM voltage to 'trick' the ECU into providing less duty cycle to the injectors, the down side of this is the fact the ECU also thinks the car is under less load and as a result is using a load point on the factory MAP that has a lot more timing advance than normal. The bigger the injector size, the more timing the ECU advances, until a point where the advance is just too much for boost/load conditions.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
