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.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
