Some of you may be aware of the problem which was experienced with the 5AT harnesses I recently sent with the IC kits. Both appear to have failed. I beleive it revolved around the simple soldering of wires to straight pins on the socket base. This was supplied this way to me and is counter to how I made mine, allmotor and BlueCLS6 6MT harnesses. But to expedite and keep costs lower I used another supplier.

I can't completely fault them as they have made similar harneeses without failure. I just feel it is to fragile for continuous duty. So I revised the harness to focus in on supporting the seemingly fragile area.

The current harness has an aluminum brace for the socket side pins along with a shroud. This should support the pins as needed and protect them from damage.

 

That'll take care of that! Looks good Steve.

 

Steve knows how to really take care of business .

 

i wish all these companies (:cough:unichip, stone racing, obx) would be more like scalbert. they troubleshoot problems asap and take care of the customer. they actually TRY to work shit out.

so scalbert, what are the plans for hope system's now that you are selling the car and moving on to other things?

 

Steve,

Good shit

 

I am still working on several things with no plans on dropping them or stopping completely with Hope Systems.

 

glad to hear that

 

I could but I won't...




Looks great Steve. I don't think the Hope System's IC kit will still be around by the time i'd have the cash flow for it. Good luck and again, that looks great.

 

steve, what exact parts would i need for the greddy e-man??

 

E-Manage Main Unit
Injector Harness
Ignition Harness is Optional on the NA Cars
PnP Harness

 

Would I see gains using the E-Manage w/o the IC kit?

 

any way to make the e-manage hook up to a 3.0CL? Orwould I just find one for the honda accord 3.0 engine?

 

Conceptually yes, but I never got a chance to fully test it. I suspect it could be used to make some decent gains similar to the Unichip, maybe better, maybe worse.

I never got a chance to test the latest ideas on an NA car.

 

Yes, it has been successfully mated to the AV6 so there is no reason why it wouldn't work with the 3.0 CL.

 

If there is a "typical" N/A dyno, showing the A/F ratio, you should be able to predict where the gains would be had. If you mean with the blower, but no IC,... gains should play second fiddle to bringing the fuel pessure down to a reasonable level, then look for gains with a flat A/F ratio.

 

Nice Steve - please put me on the list for one... I am definateley buying it. We'll discuss over PM.

 

steve, anything i should know before trying to go with the e-man n/a

 

Does anyone have any dyno's showing the A/F ratio,... I looked in the dyno section but only saw one with an aparrent IMRC problem.

 

i do brad?? or did u want one on a s/c car??

 

No, I'd like to see it for a N/A application. That's what your thinking of doing, right?

 

email to bradburger@comcast.net, or post it up.

 

Yes, do you want me to post?

 

Bad UniChip, stock and good unichip:


Good UniChip, the way my car runs now:

 

Stock vs Tuned UniChip

 

Stock vs Original UniChip:







I think those should give you a good idea.

 

The good chip looks as good as it gets. The A/F is flat, and assuming its in the sweet spot, I would not expect any better results with the E-Manage on a N/A application.

 

So the E-manage can be a substitute for the unichip ?

 

That has yet to be proven.

 

^^^^

Very true.

It has the potential but hasn't been proven.

 

i might be the first, we'll see

 

Steve, check your PM I need something from you

 

Thanks Steve for the update on the harness. I should be seing it in the next day or so I'm sure. My car is looking forward to being "harness happy" . I'll post results as soon as I can.
