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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
