What is the Greddy e-manage?

[shane sheil]

hi does anyone know of performance shops in melbourne that know anything bout the e mange

[MacGuyver]

So if I were to get the Nismo injectors (was leaning towards these anyway) are they a straight fit into the stock fuel rail? I've had a brief look around for an aftermarket fuel rail (HKS, Sard, GReddy) and there doesn't seem to be one for an RB25DET. Also would it be essential/recommended to uprgade the AFM with the injectors? Just trying to see how much I need to buy before I get the Emanage installed so I can do it all in one hit. I've already done the fuel pump and a Nismo fuel pressure regulator is on the way.

does any1 know of any1 who can install and tune the e manage

thanks for your reply man.my car's coil pack already all ****ed up by that.now I looking for the coil pack.be careful when you do it......good luck

Does the greddy e manage with profec e01 controller monitor knock?

Is it possible to get rid of the speed limit and change the rev limit using the emanage?

Is it much harder to install on a rb20det? Lots of wire puzzling?

What optional harnasses do I need using e manage with profec e01 on rb20det besides the normal ignition and injector harnasses to do all necessary?

Seem not to find real answers on these questions in the thread. I hope I am not asking things wich are already explained.

[jack_rb25]

e manage is some kind of blank air and fuel ecu.I have no idea the e manage will good for rb20 or not. I going for power fc now because I had paid for the lesson!!!!! be care man

[RB30-POWER]

The emanage is just an interceptor at the end of the day, no more, no less.

Bloody expensive one at that too...

Get a full standalone ecu such as PowerFC and dont look back.

[jack_rb25]

good idea man,do you know where can I get them cheap? I goind to sell my baby soon,I don't want to pull out too much.....cheers

[ivosp]

SO its not able to monitor knock, and get rid of the speed en rev limits?

[666DAN]

No doesn't monitor knock or change speed/rev limits

[ivosp]

I spoke to butters on msn and he told me it is doable to get the profec 01 moitor knock. Somebody knows how?

I don't know man.and i don't like the e-manage anymore

[ivosp]

Nobody here experience with using the external signal harnass and monitoring knock on rb20det?

[666DAN]

Check this out!!!!!!

Looks like a lot of effort went into this!

[BHDave]

Looks like trust have put a bit of effort into it, though i reckon they would have been better off starting to manufacture stand alone units and just give the old emanage a face lift.

OK, so after almost a year of having the GReddy Emanage lying around accumulating cobwebs and dust, I finally got it installed yesterday and tuned. The tuner that I had chosen had no experience with the Emanage b4 but was keen to give it a go. But really, the Emanage is not that hard to tune or install when you have the harness kit.

Initially, with the following mods:

- Apexi pod filter

- Trust R-SPL FMIC

- Blitz SBC idIII

- MV Stage 1 shift kit

- HKS split dump pipe

- Blitz 3' front pipe

- 3' Hi-flow Cat

- Blitz 3' NUR spec exhaust

- Bosch 040 fuel pump

- BP Ultimate fuel

- Bald Hankook Ventus K104 tyres

The line pulled 148.3 rwkw with 10psi of boost. Now, after installing the eManage and a few hours later 198.4 rwkw was achieved with 12psi of boost. The turbo is still stock and so are the coils. The plugs haven't been changed in about 12 months but are NGK platinums with the standard gap of 1.1 (I think).

That's the good part of the story!

A couple of things that I noticed while the car was going through its last couple of runs was that towards the end of each run little puffs of black smoke started farting out of the exhaust. I was told that this was because the plugs needed to be changed and that I should shorten their gaps.

Another problem occured when the car was idling and the kick panel was being placed back into position. As pressure was applied to the kick panel onto the ecu, the engine would turn off. I was told that it was something to do with the wiring in the harness.

Finally, the last problem was realised a little while later when I had left the tuners. The car seems to want to change gears at higher revs which is really a kick in the back. I can induce a shift by fully, not partially, backing off the accelerater at a reasonable point. Now even with overdrive on fourth gear will only engage when travelling at 100 kph. Even at 60-80 kph and backing off the throttle, third will be the highest gear selected. Also, when the car is warm and the gear is put into neutral, revs will drop to 500rpm and start hunting up and down. It also happens when the car is started when warm.

So as you can read there has been a few positives and negatives to come out of my experience with the GReddy Emanage. Fingers crossed that these problems are not permanent and that are fixable.

If anyone, DAN666 in particular, can shed some light on these problems, could you please reply to this post. I'm going to check to see whether the tuner had missed something myself with a PC 2morrow.

wouldn't the car wanting to change gears at higher revs be to do with the shift kit?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, the problem is not related to the shift kit as this was done b4 the tune and everything was fine. Its just not going into 4th gear unless I'm at 100kph and back off the throttle.

I'm just curious to know what was done on the Emanage to have this effect on the shifts. The Emanage only intercepts Air/Fuel and Ignition timing. Would changing the ignition timing affect shift points?

[rd-runr]

OK since the harness plugs into the ecu loom and also the ecu, maybe signals required for gear changes are getting screwed with before being passed to the ecu. And since the engine would cut out when pressure was applied to the harness then the wiring within the harness must be screwed. I may have just answered my own Q. :lol: Keep the suggestions coming in though!

[rob82]

Most likely due to the Emanage changing the TPS signal. Shift points are usually shift event vs TPS vs road speed. ie at 100% throttle the car will change gear 1st to 2nd at say 55km/hr. Although I cant really see any reason why they would have changed TPS signal.
