Ultimate Emanage Works With Auto Box

[mad34]

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!

[R31Nismoid]

wanna post more details?

ie, how. What to do.

kinda pointless saying it works... and thats it!

[ecl]

ditto

/waits for reply

[mad34]

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.

[mad34]

oh yeah and shift logic remains as std as its still controlled by std ecu.

hey fella would the normal emanage work or only the ultimate?

[mad34]

yes the blue emanage works too they all work.

[dangerman4]

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?

[N I B]

No stand alone ECU works with R34 auto yet so Emanage or other piggy backs is it for now.

Excellent news.

How long has it been running for?

How many k's?

What's the dyno results look like?

cheers

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.

[666DAN]

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!

[satanic]

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.

cheers

[mad34]

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.

[beastien]

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

[DRIFTER]

is it still going mad34?

[666DAN]

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.

[mad34]

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.

[CruiseLiner]

lets hope for your sake the new splitfires last and dont get cooked, probably a big risk this short into the ecu install. $600 gamble
