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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
