Rep Power: 312

I am curious to know if anyone who has the E-Manage has gotten the ignition harness working yet?

A friend and I installed it on an RSX-S and it works with no problems. My harness came in the mail last friday and will probably install it on saturday, i'll let you know how the wiring goes.

I'd like to see if it actually controls ignition timing - it would make it easy to fix problems up top....

 
Rep Power: 584

yes

Boosted2k2 has it. Works great on his car from what he tells me. I'm sure he'll see this post and inform you all.

i dont think boosted is in need of it right now, he might have it workin, but at 5 psi not really in need of it yet, i might be wrong though

 
Rep Power: 0

That is... CORRECT. I have all harnesses hooked to the e-manage. The stock ECU can control 5psi worth. The stock injectors suck though. But I have no need at 5psi to change the ignition. But the fact that the ignition control works on the emanage is true. I'll be using it by december along with new injectors to complete everything for 9-10psi. The E-manage as a whole is still perfect IMO for cost and tunability.

That's my thoughts too! With the proper ignition timing control you shouldn't need alcohol injection at 10 PSI or so, just retard the timing a little up top and your good to go.

I don't like alcohol injection as much because you are not 100% certain that the alcohol is mixing completely with the air - which means that some cylinders may not be getting any, which means those cylinders could be detonating.....

You guys just sold me on the E-manage, I'm going to buy one - but I need some more info. Where did you all find wiring info for our cars? I have the helm manual, but I'm not sure if it would be a big help.

as long as u have the ecu pin out sheet, and the instructions for the emanage, just connect the wires accordingly i think, i have a big thick green book that has everything about the car in it, im also up to 13psi with the timing retard

 
Rep Power: 312

WOW! 13 PSI? So far nothing wrong? Did you have your car tuned by someone or did you do it yourself?

The E-manage is simply amazing for the money. I got mine for $270 shipped, got the ignition and injector harnesses local for $45 + tax. The installation is easy with the nice bullet connectors that are supplied. I can't wait to try it out on my sub injector setup.

I was going to make an E-manage DIY, but nobody else was using it so I didn't. But I'll make up a wiring diagram for it in a couple hours:

E-manage
Ignition Harness
Injector Harness
Rotary Settings

yo can i use the emange and not hook it up to the intectors..and just have my SF PFM do the fuel work?

 
Rep Power: 584

no some one else did it, if i could do it i would save alot of money from the begining, i wish i could do it, i dont have the time to do it, with school and work, nothing wrong to bad, it over heats everynow and then but thats being fixed too, might do a fluidyne, i know they dont make one for our cars, but im going to SEMA tues wed and thurs, im leaving in the morn for VEGAS, and trust me they are on my list of people to talk to, otherwise, ill just make an existing one the make fit, just like everything else on my car practically

OsOBooSTed did you ever sell that body kit? If not I am interested and tried to PM you but your box is full and cant send you an email from this forum. Please contact me at ccajun4real@nc.rr.com. Thanks and sorry about jacking the thread guys

so with the e-manage if we retard the ignition timing we can run higher boost without using the alcohol injection? what all is needed to run 10 or more psi?

 
Rep Power: 312

Theoretically yes - but you must be careful. Each car is different, and will need to be tuned differently. Remember also that you'll be approaching the limit of the head gasket as well.....

 
Rep Power: 0

so what needs to be done to safely run 10 psi?

 
Rep Power: 312

The E-Manage will need to be tuned.....You need to have the right fuel ratio, plus the proper ignition retard to prevent knocking. Once you have these you should be golden....

This is why tuning can be tricky, and also why you go a little at a time, making small adjustments - such as bumping boost by 1 PSI (if even that) increments when you get above 8 or so.

Damn i need to find somewhere in virginia i can get tuning

There is a place here in Greensboro, NC that does dyno tuning on imports. You are up by Fort Lee right? It would be about 3 hours straight down the interstate for you. If you are interested email me at ccajun4real@nc.rr.com and I will send you the link.

is a dyno completely needed?

there are no dynos around here.. i mean.. if there is a way you can tune it yourseld?

 
Rep Power: 0

The dyno will show you if hp or torque drops off at a certain point and you will be able to fix it with tuning....so yes it's necessary
