Has anyone wired one of these into a CA? I'm reading the install guide and I can see it says if you're using low impedance injectors, which CAs and R32 GT-Rs are by default, that you will need a dropping resistor, is that right? I thought the dropping resister was only needed if you were putting high impendance injectors into a low impedance car?

Or is the resistor needed for the Emanage's benefit?

I don't have the emu, was looking at a cheap one.

A remap isn't available locally and if I'm driving 6hrs return to get a tune I'd rather it be on something that allows me to adjust it later or at least do data logging.

I know I can buy a Nistune but the emu was much cheaper (yes I realise they are two different devices).

Trying to avoid forking out $440 for a new nistune and software. I have an SAFC2 and just need some timing control (yes I realise everything is better than an SAFC) but as it's a track car it only needs to perform properly at WOT, which at the moment it more or less does.

I know it looks like this thread is dead, but I was hoping there might be someone on here that can give me some feedback, well here goes, if anybody is out there.

I've read through this thread searching for a possible solution for a problem I'm having. Car ran fine before installation. Issues I'm having at the moment are, 1st since installing emu, car is hard to start, wants to flood. I have to open the throttle to get it to start. I have since then cut 20% fuel in the lower coolant temp enrichment tables to get it to start without throttle input, but it is still momentarily rich for about 20 seconds, then leans out to be normal. 2nd, when I try to advance igniton timing, it goes all wacky in the areas I add timing. In the logs, it is really fuzzy, with crazy spikes anywhere from 10 to 40 degrees advance, when in the map I have .5 degree advance. 3rd, I can't seem to get the engine anti stall to work for nothing, maybe the other problems I'm having are associated to this also though. I have double checked the ignition firing order and it is wired up according to the top of this thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
