E-manage + automatic...

Can anyone elaborate on the limitations of the e-manage when used on an automatic series 1 r33 gts25t.

I have read that you cannot use the ignition control harness on automatic Nissans. Why is this so? Will this be fixed by Greddy in the future?

I assume it is still possible to control the afm and injectors successfully.

If the ignition control remains unusable on an auto, would an exhaust cam timing wheel offer some benefit?

Taken from the sticky e-manage thread in Forced Induction Performance:

Hey guys Just thought I'd share my experience with e-manage. The only significant limitations I've found so far is that you cannot use the ignition control harness on automatics, and the speed limit as previously mentioned.

I've read something about melted coil packs as well. It may have been on the Yahoo e-manage group.

I don't think it affects other ECU's (ie Motec). I think it is just an e-manage issue with auto Nissans. So auto Supras should be OK...

The Dr knows all about this stuff.... Maybe he can elaborate?

I remember Dr Drift saying something that this is one of the limitation of the e-Management with Skyline. That's it doesn't work with the ignition harness or something.

Would be intresting to find out, cause I was thinking of installing the e-Management as well with my auto. No chance with the Power FC and the HKS F-cons with auto. Motec might be too expensive, my mechanics also mention Links Computers but don't know how good they are. Also Unichip but don't know if they will work with auto either.

Damn auto!! hehe :P

Strutto - Thanks for the PM...

Here Goes....

It appears that the automatic's wiring in nissans do in fact read the RPM signal from somwhere (haven't investigated where yet).... This signal going through some extra wiring to the auto control unit causes some minor electrical interference. This interference is picked up when trying to tune the e-manage. I assume this is due to the e-manage being more sensitive than the factory ECU. I am also assuming this is the same reason that neither FC's or FCONV's are available for automatics (maybe link's aren't either)??

My problem so far is that I have only tried tuning e-manage (not fitted by me) on one automatic car which was severly accident damaged by the owner a week after my initial attempt. The car has since been repaired but I think the owner is no longer looking for the extra power.

I have had several suggestions on how to rectify this problem, ranging from resistors inline with certain wires going to the e-manage which have RPM based signals (CAS, IGN, INJ), and to also try and run shielded wiring for the emanage.

All the other ECU's I've seen run shielded wiring right up to the ECU which the e-manage doesn't, so this would be the first place I would look.

Skylineakt - As far as fuel tuning goes the E-Manage is excellent, and a much better option than an SAFC or similar.... Perhaps you would be interested in a discounted supply/install and allow us to research this problem further on your car? Worst case scenario is that you have more power with a perfectly tuned fuel curve... Best case scenario is that we will discover how to maximise the potential of the e-manage for all our skyline brethren the world over???

Doc.

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
