Greddy emanage timing control!

[acidbug]

I read an article..In Turbo Magazine..On a Turbo Mr2...They hooked up a stand alone..

Turns out..the standalone..fried the coil packs..and caused a fire....(as most know..stand alones control the coil packs which controls the timing)

MP3SkaterNC: That's what I was thinking. Just saving the 12 for special occasions. Besides I know 10psi (200+ whp) will be more than enough to spank a lot of these camaro's running around here. Just wanted some advice from someone with experience. I want to learn as much as i possibly can before I get my turbo kit

What modification? Using the right rotary switch setting? You know what guys... forget it. I don't need to prove myself to anybody.

I'm not saying I don't believe you. I'm just saying that for a year now, most everybody have said the emanage will work for fuel only for the Protege, after a customer service person at Greddy said that it wouldn't work with our style of coil packs (it would fry it).

So you're saying you just had to make sure it was set up right? Or something about a resistor or something? And MP3SkaterNC is saying that the eManage was modified to match the voltage of the Protege resistor packs. So which is it?! Thats all .

After reading most of this thread, it sounds like Chooch is saying nothing special has to happen to the emanage to get it to work, while the spoolin' crew is saying they need to make some changes so it doesn't burn your car to the ground.
Spool is great and all, but perhaps they are just saying that to make some sales???

i have bought 1 from spool i havent hooked it up yet but as soon as i do i will let yall know how it works

Chooch is right. There's no majic beans, it's just using the right settings.

Your going to have to adjust the maf voltage somehow, the emanage is set to run on a honda 5v system, and guess what, the protege doesn't have a 5v maf signal. Resistors are going to have to be used, either internally within the emanage, or inline on the signal wire.

i thought perfworks always said the protge MAF is infact a 5v system. bah too much misinformation going around.

 

[MP3skaterNC]

To my knowledge it isn't, but like most of my knowledge its probably wrong.

Im getting agravated with this car though. Too much headache. Somebody buy me a 240.

look at like the second sentence or somewhere around there.

[MP3skaterNC]

hmmm... interesting.

 

[igdrasil]

mmmm....is this why i go lean all of sudden when boosting on 6krpms in 3rd gear or more?? MAF maxed? or injectors high duty?

 

[midnightracr]

MP3skaterNC: What's up with your car I thought it was running good? What kinda problems are u having so i'll know what to expect. It kinda seems like our cars don't really take to well to high boost

 

[Little Beavis]

5V cutoff sucks. . .get yourself something to clamp that voltage, baby!

Party on. . .

 

[MP3skaterNC]

Nothing really, the colder weather was causing the car to lean out. I just turned the boost down, and everything is great.

My e-manage is on the way, I should have it next week and hopefully installed sometime next week as well. Hopefully I'll only have to do the resistor mod for the MAF and everything else will fall into play. Ended up picking up a Profec E-01 as well to keep things in check.

Once I get it installed I'll create another thread for E-manage users.

 

[MP3skaterNC]

Yea, your probably the best bet since spool is dead. Im here for help if you need any with it.

 

[turboge]

Do you happen to have the v1.10 or v1.11 software.?. I'll be programming mine with the E-o1 but it would be nice to use the laptop a few times.

Let me see if i can help clarify something here.
The MAF is a 12 volt sensor.
The stock ecu will clarify the resolution for the sensor.
What does that mean?
The ECU will step down the voltage internally making it a 0-5volt sensor for control and better resolution FOR the ecu to read.
In order to get the various piggys out there to work it must work WITH the ecu. There is alot of calibration required. After that it is cake.
The voltage parameters are:
1.6 key on
1.9 - 2.0 idle
These are voltage measurements with the circuit live and active.
Now try to get voltage form the sensor when the circuit is open.
Then you will see what i mean.

What do you mean dead?
what happened?
