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.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
