E-Manage powered Mazdaspeed!

After you get it all worked out for the MSP, how hard would it be to create base maps for a sedan or P5, and then would someone with fairly good knowlegde be able to tune it on the road via laptop or would it be better to get the profec e-01?
 
Keep up the good work!

New to engine management, but I assume the emanage handles timing and fuel.

Will this let me run 10-12psi on stock internals with the supporting mods I have safely? (ION FMIC, TurboBack exhaust, Plugs)

Keep up the good work, your a true resource for the community, I have already learned a ton from you and will be hitting you up for help when I am finally ready to step into management.
 
mx3ownzj00 - It will fit there but its not a great place for viewing. I'm going to try and compromise a position for it and get everything all situated this weekend, most likely going to be on the dash above the radio.

Zooooooooooom - A base map will not be needed but can be produced if there is a car to work on out here. With the e-manage the mapping is set to "0" when installed, so any changes you make there-on are the maps.

jrodhotrod - I won't know the limits until I get there. But I will tune to the extent of safety on the stock injectors, then I will try larger injectors. I expect 8-9psi at the least. My setup consists of FMIC + CAI, the rest is stock, so it should be fairly applicable to your car as well.
 
also doesnt stand alone systems allow a much finer adjustment of timing and fuel etc......like instead of only 16x16 maps with the emanage u can do 32x32.......i have been waitin for someone to work out the bugs on the emanage...its a nice system that isnt too crazy.....are u plannin to make a harness for the emanage on the msp turboge or just hard wiring it?? im ordering mine sometime in the spring once my exhuast,intake, and fmic are done......thanks again for tacklin this problem and helpin the community......
 
AutoBox - The Haltech is 16 RPM ranges by 32 Load Ranges. Divided by 500 rpm increments from 0 to 10,500RPM.
E-manage is 16x16 which is much less resolution, but easier to tune.

I don't plan on making a harness, just doing a hardwire with an ignition bypass.

Keep up the good work, its nice to see a real tuner in the protege community.

yeh thats why i want a e-manage, its the best tunable piggyback but not as hard as standalone....i watched my buddy eprom tune his supra and that is a PITA.....i may push up my plans for a emanage if i see more good results :0

ignition bypass? so ur not gonna get the ignition to work?? sorry for my ignorance in advance if i misunderstood you.....
 
Autobox - As I have my Haltech setup with toggle switches between stock / haltech control. I will be able to use the same feature with the e-manage ignition. However the e-manage fuel control is not direct like the haltech so I will not be able to bypass that.
 
hmmm i never though of that....would the tuning of the ignition on the emanage make it un-daily drivable to warrent a toggle switch to go from stock to e-manage? thats interesting thou, i would def think about that when i get my e-manage....u could do some serious "race only" ignition tuning and once u leave the track u can turn the boost down and flip to stock....me like :)

also how much of the stock harness needs to be hardwired to the emanage? i really dont wanna hack up my harness so is there some way i can find factory harness plugs to maybe put together my own harness??? if not i guess ill have to get the snips and solderin iron out :)
 
Autobox - It's more or less for testing purposes, dyno results, etc.. I wouldn't tune the e-manage for anything race only, because then with the fuel tuned for that when you switch back to stock timing it won't run well at all.
 
ah yeh i forgot u said the emanage doesnt control fuel directly.....i have only dealt with a afc in tuning terms so ignition tuning is gonna be new to me......would it be worth it to do the toggle switch....doesw the emanage save more then one map?? or can u only do one tuned map for ignition and fuel???

also can the optional pressure sensor replace our maf??? that would be really nice if we could run off the map sensor greddy provides and controls then the damn maf (im assumin its a map sensor :)

The emanage is a great computer,
Tuning with the eo1 is a bit more restrictive however compared to the support tool.

I tuned 2 cars and it worked flawlessly.
Its nice because it has more than 1 fuel map that can be layered in a away that can do different things such as removing and adding fuel to achieve nice a/f's.
 
im really thinking about it once i get my exhuast on.......wasnt there a problem with one of the features on the emanage???
 
Update 12-12-03:

Finished up the pre-wiring last night, and some additional wiring for another e-manage user. Will be pulling the haltech tonight and if I'm up to it installing the e-manage and profec afterwards, otherwise it goes in tomorrow.

Autobox The e-manage pressure sensor will "take over" when the MAF exceeds its limits. This is a level you can set. The sensor is a 3kg/cm2 sensor, so basically up to 30psi, I haven't checked to see if this includes tuning on the vacuum range.

There is a Airflow adjustment map which modifies the MAF readings, and the additional injection map that adds/subtracts duty cycle from the injectors. There is 1 timing map, and theres a Boost Pressure Cut prevention map, also a map for open vented BOV's. The rest go unused for our cars.
 
Just some interesting additional info... the emanage also has an air flow sensor change feature, meaning you can use a MAFS from another manufacturer that is of the same type as the original (hotwire). So.... I picked up Z32(300ZX) MAFS cheap and I will try to install it next week. The inside diamater of the Z32 MAFS is 72mm. I don't believe the stock MAFS will become a bottle neck until you hit 250whp but it would nice to know if it works.
 
Chooch - Make sure that you change the rotary knob setup to accomodate. Yours is at 3-A-1 currently correct? When you switch to the Z32 it would be 3-0-1. Let us know how that goes, I too don't see the need for it below certain levels.
