Its an ignition signal fault on mine, from advancing the timing too much. I guess thats where the extra 100 gigawats comes from. :)

It would be nice to get rid of the cel, I tried cutting the cel wire and the ecu shut down into a limp mode. >_<

Talk to Chris......what Scott has said is correct and that is how it arrises.....I am pretty sure that Chris's car was tuned at the extremities of the standard ECU and that is why it doesn't come up with the error.

I have the CEL light on mine but I don't want to give the ECU the ability to retune so I am not running the O2.....I still will have the 320 error though!

No....don't know what the 2 above are going on about!!!!....one of them doesn't even have an Emanage!....the other doesn't even have a Stagea anymore! :P

Chris Benny has no CEL coming on "."

Dose anyone know if the pdf files of the ECU pin out at the start of the thread are correct?

I think they are OK, but below is the one I've been using which has been correct for everything I've done.

Leon has posted the latest ones but there are still more pins I am working on.

Are you doing the install yourself?

Sorry to dig up a thread from the past but I have an opportunity to get an Emanage Ultimate for a really good price, I just wondered whether there would be any point on a stock car? My aim would be to maybe trim the fuel a bit and smooth out that rubber band effect. I was also thinking of using it (and a solenoid that I would get separately) as a boost controller. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

It can be used for that but unless you really need it for bigger injectors I would not bother. I would be trying to trace down a Impul, Nismo or some other rechipped or flashed unit. Or get yourself and F-Con and harness.

The e-manage does it's job.....it's just not supper consistent.

Hi NM35 Nissan Stagea owners,

I’ve had my 2002 NM35 Nissan Stagea since May 2014 (was very close to purchasing a Legnum VR4 instead but after looking at Scotty’s car and a few others on the forum, I decided on the Stagea).

To date, I have enjoyed the car for what it is (ie. a family based car). I like the styling, particular with the Axis Autech body styling that is on my car. The space is great and having the versatility of the wagon is what I always wanted. The gearbox though a bit slow in feel isn’t too bad and the shifts are acceptable for a car that has 12 year old technology. I do like the 4WD system and it has proven very useful in damp/wet conditions. The steering feel is a bit wooden but the handling is pretty good for a large car (the coilovers do help here).

Now to the main reason for this post. The performance and by that I mean engine power/torque. On paper, a 2.5litre V6 turbo does sound promising. However, the performance I would say is more towards useable/solid/torquey. I certainly wouldn’t be wanting to get all cocky at a traffic light if there was a V8 powered car, a turbocharged EVO/WRX, the latest craze with hot hatches (3 MPS, Megane RS265, Golf Gti/R32/R, Opel VXR) or some turbocharged import (Skyline/Supra etc).

To date, I have the following modifications:

- Trust Panel Filter

- Turbosmart Kompact BoV

- Scott’s custom dump and front pipes

- Brake Wire Cut Mod

- Tanabe Sustec NF Coilovers (was already on car when I bought it)

It is also my intent to upgrade the intercooler and cat-back exhaust system. However, I feel these modifications are not going to do that much more apart for better intake temperature consistency and improved exhaust flow.

So, taking the above into consideration, will a Greddy EManage Ultimate install and dyno tune change my current experiences and impressions of my car’s performance? I am keen to hear from those current NM35 Stag owners who also have the OEM turbo. It is my intent to keep the standard turbo. Some dyno charts you can share and just honest impressions of where your car’s performance is at.

I said this to Scott recently “it’s like I am driving a turbo diesel...it’s got good torque in the low to mid rev range but it runs out of puff in the mid to upper rev ranges...it’s like someone ended a party early and only when the party was just about to get better”

Because the stock turbo is too small, and can't flow much more after 4500. Tuning it will make that feeling even worse as the midrange comes on hard.

All turbo cars from the factory generally feel like that, they promote midrange punch and taper it off by strangling the exhaust.

I agree completely with what Scotty said. With the oem turbo the most you could hope for is a little more pickup + responsiveness, but you'll still run out of puff pretty quickly.

My first power mod was a Kakimoto R cat back and it noticeably improved the response & mid range. So I think by finishing your exhaust, you'll still get a slight improvement.

I don't think the intake on the stock turbo would benefit at all from a larger inter cooler but that's just my opinion, based on experiences.

So for bigger power feeling I'd say you'll have to go high flow turbo with a tune afterwards.

I worked out how to get rid the Emanage Ultimate ignition error code, it can be done inside the EMU box so if anyone wants the code gone, send it to me and I will upgrade it. ;)

When have you got time Scotty :thanks:

I think Pete will also chime in as soon as he reads this!!

I also need to drop that HDi intercooler off to you.

Cheers

Definitely mate. The CEL light is just one of those FN annoying cosmetic things. Sort of used to it now but in an ideal world I would like it off.

Before I do Scott's head in with the CEL light gotta do his head in with service and transition to E85, its time....

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
