Hi Uras,

I'm following this tread with great interest. Hoping to have a chance to learn the software/tuning compare to HKS Fcon SZ or Is which require Selected HKS writers workshop only. I drive a GTT and planning to upgrade turbo & injectors soon.

Any chance of using the FCD/Speed cut function without doing dyno / road tune? Does it plug-in and has default setting for the fueling & timing like the PFC? Currently few workshop who install/sells EMU has somehow experienced burn coils or blown engine, so im am hoping you could shed some light on whats causing them whether it wrong parts install, wiring, setup programing? At least i have some knowledgeable answer if we do hit a wall during installation/tune.

Workshops who burn coils do not follow instructions unfortunately.

The EMU when first fitted does NOT alter any engine parameters until programmed so you can confidently fit it at home and drive to wherever needs to tune it without fear of engine damage.

sydney is ass for lots of things unfortunately, if i had a dollar for ever time some-one offerred me a tuning job (emanages/pfc) there i would be laughing.

There are some very good emanage tuners there though like Jim @ CRD.

what about somewhere where i wouldnt be paying through the ass? :P

does anyone know what jumper have to be changed to run it on a series 1.5 r33? it has the series 2 motor so i know i will have to change jumper 8 to 12v, but is there anything else that has to be changed? the main ones i need help with are:

10 (which is the second afm input). it is default set to gtr setting. the other setting is vtec out. do i leave it as gtr or set it to open?

17 (which is frequency output / vtm output). do leave it as karman output?

everything else i m fine with. i just want to get a second opinion on these before i plug it all in.

Thxs Uras, you probably rite about inexperienced tuners. Going to do more checking on the software & setup manual. Appreciate your assistance to guide us on EMU, this tread will get frequent visits for those looking for PFC alternative. Cheers!

Leave the rest of the jumpers in the STD positions, see manual for factory jumper settings.

hey

mad082 was installing one of these today and he set the jumpering for an s2 r33. The car started up and idled fine for a while, then was misfiring pretty bad and wouldnt turn back on. He took the emanage off and it still wouldnt start up.

He was saying theres no spark in any of the coils. Does it sound like the coils might of died and if so why would it kill them if he had the jumpering correct ?? the car is a r33 s1.5.

oh yeah he also told me to say he hadnt changed any of the important tuning type stuff, he was just playing with the rev limiter setting.. he claims :(

if anyones got any ideas let us know please

thanks :P

how do i get to the data sampling? i don't have that icon on my screen? all i have is a data logging, but no the one that shows the maps. it is just the one that graphs it.

you have the old software version

download this: http://www.trust-power.com/03electric/Ulti..._Vmanage103.exe

i am having trouble getting the a/f meter working properly through the greddy. firstly i am not sure which wires i am supposed to hook up. we have an innovate lm1 o2 sensor kit, and it's output plug has three wires (red, white and 1 with no casing). the emanage has 2 wires (white and grey). now i found the greddy wiring diagram for it, but the innovate diagram doesn't say what colours the wires are. it just says what the 3 wires are, but doesn't say what colour each one is.

also i tried just touching the wires together and i did get a reading of sorts, but it was completely different to the reading on the handset. the handset was reading high 14's (was cruising) and the emanage reading started at 12 and then dropped to 8 and wouldn't move. do i have to change something in the innovate software?

also, what nvcs settings are people using? what rpm and load are people having it turn on?

You need to set the output signal in innovate logworks to get the readings to line up as no two widebands give out the same signal out of the box.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
