not really pointless. When i was trying to get it working i would have payed someone just to give me straight answer as to whether they got it working or if it worked. And now everyone has a straight answer

YESS IT WORKS.

just make sure you use zener diodes that 666DAN sorted out. Make sure all connections are solid and make sure you use field harness and it is properly connected to ECU.

and asuming you have a emanage what are your thoughts on it compared to other aftermarket ecu's? wolf etc?

are there many benifits of the ultimate over the normal blue emanage, and do you recomend the full wiring loom kit or just the cut and solder kit? cheers

So is there still a coil issue even with the ultimate?

Well good news all you auto skyline owners the emanage ultimate works with the Automatic skyline Gearbox. 

John keene from HiTech dyno centre got mine working!!!!!

WOOOOHOOOOO!

Excellent news.

How long has it been running for?

How many k's?

What's the dyno results look like?

:) cheers :O

PS; if less than a month and 1,000 k's it might be a bit early to jump. One ran for 2 weeks OK, then just stopped, dead coils and ignitor.

Guys as mentioned before the other option is now the bikirom megaboard, I've got one fitted to my current auto R34. www.bikirom.com

Should be good for stageas as well.

Great news Chris...I could tell from you e-mails you were starting to get stressed, which is understandable. At least it looks fairly promising now!

mad34 - what was the end cost of the Emanage Ultimate (installed and tuned)

666Dan - same question for you but regarding the bikirom?

SK - If the unit works initially without any faults, what would cause the breakdown after a few weeks?

The problem with the EManage to date has been its poor matching of the load and trigger signals to the ignitor and coils. Several modifications have been tried, including the voltage limiting zenner diode mod. This mod enabled the EManage to fire the ignitor/ignitors, so the engine would at least run. But there were still issues with dwell angle, impedance, decay time etc. So the ignitors/coils worked for a short time, sometimes hours, sometimes days, and they then failed completely.

Having heard success claimed several times, only to be disappointed, I don't think it's a good idea to jump in until at least a month and 1,000 k's or so have elapsed. If the engine still runs fine and performs perfectly after that time and distance, I feel we can safely use the product.

:D cheers :(

Dont say that guys i hope it works after 1000k's it should, it bloody better or i will shit bricks ;P. hahahahaha Dont make me paranoid!

Those zeners that 666Dan has sussed out will work as the guy who fitted it checked everything. he measured standard voltage and then voltage after the emanage was fitted and they were different. he said the zeners did fix the problem.

By the way thanks Again Dan.

Satanic-the cost of purchase and fitting was quite high around $1700. I still have to get pressure sensor and harness too so thats another $170 so id say all up $2000.

  • 2 weeks later...

The Bikirom Megaboard will only work with series 2 NEO Stageas, the series 1 has a similar ECU to the R33, but i have inspected my ECU and found it has a external Eprom which the R33 ECU doesn't have, i talked to BadBiki and showed him a pic of it and he agreed that it might be possible to adapt the Megaboard to the series 1 stagea ECU.

Only problem is finding someone with the knowledge to nut it out, as BadBiki is too busy.

Anyone interested :D

Yeah Chris, car still going fine? I assmume it would be, my e-manage was running for over a year with no problems, worked so good someone stole it!!! (industrial espionage for sure haha)

Satanic - I've had the bikirom in for a little bit now, no dramas with compatibility whatsoever, I'll have a dyno graph fairly soon as Sam (Dr Drfit) will be in town, so I'll let him loose on my car.

My Cars ignition still breaks up a little when its warm and when i have been driving it hard. My std coils are on their way out. so i ordered some splifires they have arrived i just have to fit them now. also i have got the pressure sensor harness going in so i can run more boost without upsetting the afm. that should all be done in the next few days. i will let you all know.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
