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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
