Trackside performance spent ages with an E-manage and Profec E-01 on my car, trying to tune it and get it right, but we ended up just getting rid of it becuase the instructions are crap and anything else is in Japanese. We found the system was full of features but it was useless and didn't work. Every other shop we asked for help either haven't even used one before or have found the same problems and have ditched it as well. If you need more info on it, give Alan at Trackside performance a ring on (07)32057707 and tell him Sean sent ya, he should help you out with some info on the E-manage.

WTF? They're easy to tune, I did the tune on my last car an R34 n/a with a turbo bolted on.

Provided you have the map sensor you can't go wrong, they work extremely well.

We had the E-manage and the profec E-01 with the afm and injector loom installed, and we still could not get it to fucntion at all and this was on a R33 N/A with a complete engine rebuild. The boost controller didn't work, the in built fuel cut defender didn't work and the turning capabilities, using the Greddy support tool from what we could see, were very limited when compared to a Wolf 3D or Power FC. Not only were we having these problems but everyone else we rang about it were in the same boat as us. If you have some pointers you could give us about that system I'm sure Trackside Performance and another three tuning shops would love to hear from you...

np, I didn't realise there were that many people having issues with them...I basically learnt the hard way having a crash course learing how the thing worked when my car had the turbo conversion. It's a shame I still don't have it as I could have brought it down for all to see. I've never used the E-01 just the laptop interface, even with that the car just fired up first time and all adjustments through the software worked fine, ignition advancing/retarding and fuel adjustment, scaling to the boost map and the fuel cut defender was a matter of setting the max AFM voltage to just bellow the cut-out and fixing it there.

Power FC is a full replacement so sort of in a different category to a piggyback

Let me know the exact details of what issues you have and maybe I can help you guys out. The two I've seen with issues have been the wrong firmware update and a 100% faulty unit.

Yeah, we must have had ones of those faulty ones then cause we did all of that and stuffed around with different afms for ages and we still couldn't gt it to work, it wouldn't even hold boost, the turbo would boost right by the set limit like it wasn't even there....

We just got sick of the whole system so we replaced it with a stand alone Wolf3D EMS.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
