Everything looks good. I find that the paragraph on the box cover is hilarious though.

It appears that they just translated it from Japanese to English directly and it totally doesn't make sense:

 

u r ghey Steve

 

Yea, try calling GReddy. Their spoken English is generally the same. Everytime I call them with some tuning advice they have problems understanding or say their techs are out to lunch. One day their techs were out to lunch for 6 hours. :ghey: However, there is one guy there that is really good. I can't remember his name now though.

I also find it odd that the connector from the E-manage to the computer is a USB <-> Serial connection. I guess it is a serial connection at the computer so that the connector can be screwed in and secured so that it doesn't fall out during driving, etc?

 

I guess, unless you have a Sony Vaio laptop and you don't have a serial connection.

 

I have a serial connection, so it isn't a problem, I just thought it was odd.

 

I love when the directly translate stuff on foreign products. I vaguely remember reading a box for a chainsaw that said something about not cutting your leg with the chain or something. good stuff.


more on topic... kinda: Would the e-manage work for the first gen? Since the timing can only be retarded with the emanage on the second gens due to something with the way the signal is delivered, would it be the same for the first gens or can you advance the timing on the first gen's with hte emanage? The e-manage seems to be exactly the same as a VAFC with a bunch of extra features, and it plugs into a computer. am I right in looking at it like that?

 

i know nothing about the 1st gens except that my Aunt drives a '99 3.0.

 

I know steve. I was just kinda hoping scalbert might chime in or sometihng along those lines :P

 

..... that was funny...... I am no Computer nerd, but I think it is USB to Serial because of the data being transferred.... I bought a Serial to USB since my new laptop does not have serial ports and I need to load a driver for the friggen cord...

Best buy got me for 31 bucks for it.... those bastards, nothing is a best buy there...lol

 

@ BestBuy


I don't have a floppy drive in my laptop so to install that patch in the software I need to copy the floppy disk to my desktop, then email the file to myself and then download it on the laptop and then install it. *sigh*

 

oh yeah? well look what happens when you translate it from japanese to english, then to french and back to english, then to german and back to english.

 

@ mattg

 

the software comes on CD, but you do not need one anyways,

 

It also comes with a floppy disk and it says to replace one file with the file that is on the disk. It is an upgraded US language pack.

 

I have a vaio laptop w/o floppy so i prolly have to do all that $h!t to
at least u guys have the PnP Harness from Scalbert I tried getting one but need 5 and only had 3 ppl.

 

Makes about as much sense as the original text.

they are useful...SEE!!!!!!!

 

Let us know how it turns out Steve.

 

crap I forgot about that... going to save the floppy to CD now before I forget.

 

whos gonna tune it for ya steve??

 

I have a USB to USB for the Greddy E-manage. I got the cable from a guy name Simon. The cable was around $75. He incorporates a chip in the end of the plug so it can decode the text from the main unit(emanage). If you are interested i can give you his email address so you can contact him

 

For $75 I'll tell him where to shove that cord

I have no problem with the serial port, I just found it odd at first. Serial ports = old skewl

 

Well the shop that did my UniChip has tuned numerous NSX's with Comptech kits that are running the e-mange for tuning so I plan on having it done there. Although, the unit is already pre-loaded with Scalbert's map, so it will only need a few adjustments (hopefully) to get it running where it should be. The problem is just finding time to get it done.

 

Haha, Yeah I thought was a little expensive but I dont have serial port on my Laptop and didnt feel like getting a serial converter so i had to fork out the money to buy the damn thing.

 

USB flash drive?

 

The manuals are about as good. I tried calling them once and decided against that route for future information. If you really want to get into it, subscribe here:

Nope, still won't work directly. But you could clamp the signal or reduce it which will cause the ECU to add timing. Then you could add the needed fuel back in by extending the pulse width.

 

Steve,

Clear something up for me. To avoid running uber rich, I WILL need the FPR re-cal installed along with the e-manage if I wish to install the e-manage prior to the I/C install.

Running the e-manage w/o backing down fuel pressure via the re-cal will make the mixture even more rich. Correct?

 

You really should do the FPR re-call and back down the pressure. Even then you will run a little rich as it is programmed to expect the cooler/denser air with the IC.

 

Will do, thanks.
