I took my R34 Gtt in to get tuned on monday, the usual stage one mods, (Front mount, 3" exhaust with dump, pod filter, cold air box, apexi avc-r and flowed turbo plus water/Methanol injection and a Greddy Emanage ultimate controlling it) and when my tuner hooked the car up to the laptop the emanage needed an update on the software. As soon as that was done the car shat itself basically and the update either corrupted the emanage or the tune i had in there already. The car would run but wouldnt idle at all and was belching unburnt fuel. I had to bypass the emanage and run off the stock computer to get the car home and now that my maps are corrupted or changed they are basically useless.

I was wondering if anyone out there may have an emanage in their auto Gtt and may be able to help me out by sending me a copy of their map files so i have a reasonable base map to start from again so i am not paying shitloads of dyno time to get my car running well again as i am already down one full days tuning $$ and took a massive step backwards.

Really hope someone can help me out.

If you update the software you need to update the Emanage Ultimate or it won't work. The map should be fine if you still have a copy...

The software on the emanage ultimate was updated thsts what stuffed everything.

If you have stock injectors etc.. you don't need a map for it to idle. Is your AFM the normal type for the motor ? And yes you need to do 2 updates one for the software and one for unit.

Please note if you have a laptop with windows 8 good luck... In order for it to work you need non usb 3.0 and since Microsoft only have the drivers for windows 8 it stops them working all together. I found with windows 7 u need a virtual machine running xp with 2.0 drivers ( you can just uninstall the 3.0 drivers and it reverts back to 2.0 )

Sounds like you need to plug your laptop in and connect to your Emanage and check to see if the basics are setup ( engine type..AFM type, CAS angle sensor, ) re do those also are the toggle switches that turn your maps on on the unit turned on? ( the little yellow ones on the side of the unit ) ill send u a pm with my mob no as it easier to talk than to type. Cheers

Everything was running fine(and the basics are still setup ) and had been setup since i got the car but after the update it wont run properly and it wouldnt let us in to save the maps before it updated so i have nothing to fall back on or to compare the maps to now so i can pinpoint whether the unit itself is the problem or if it changed the maps or how it is reading them (if that makes sense)

re updated to 2.20 on both the laptop and the emanage unit and no difference, runs rough and when you blip the throttle it dies, disconnect the emanage and go back to the stock ecu and it runs fine. WTF???

i updated mine to 2.30.

and it shat itself the next day. it would idle fine and drive. but when i put my foot down more than half way it would sputter and not rev, so i did the same at the moment, went back to stock for now.

I'll figure it out when i get my car back from my mechanic.

I have a feeling that the update changed something slightly and the car didnt like it. yea i know, thats not a big help and a very big guess. but its all i have.

i'll let you know what i find out.

yep yours sounds pretty much what mines doing Canada, sort of what i was thinking, that it changed something or maybe the update corrupted something in the units? i changed the maps back to default (all values 0.0) and still the same.

Yeh im back at 2.20 and it hasn't helped, might try taking each factory sensor off the emanage seperately and running it off the stock ecu to see if that will pinpoint where the problem is in the emanage.

So i did a data log on the Emanage today and can see where the problem is, just not whats causing it. When i give the throttle a little blip (around 15%) the output injector duty is hitting 100% and the rpm is only 1300 or so. even when idling the input and output values are a bit different even though the values on the map table are 0.0

Anyone else had problems after the software update that totally screwed the unit?

i'll post the links to my data log and what my car was doing. i think i need to start from scratch. set everything back up as if it was the first time.

I had enough issues with v220 and getting my car to run. one thing that i had with my setup was the car wouldnt run right with the settings at stock value for injectors so i have to play with the injector settings up until it would run normal.

what are stock injectors? 370 or something. i think i had to set mine at either 440 or 550 or something. i think it was whatever the gtr stock injectors were.

anyway i will go through it all whenever i get my car back. i was really interested in this update. was liking the fact that autotune was going to work properly on it own. :)

(watch in 720p so you can read it)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
