IS the emanage easy enough to use so that you can tune yourself or do you need to have it be dyno duned by professionals?

 

That is a great idea. You can always sell the blue eManage on EBAY or the forums to recoup some of that.

Ask Brianstrom or other eManage tuners in your area..on how comfortable they feel tuning this. Just remember that the Greddy kit needs some extras to make it safe at the power levels you are looking for....such as a complete fuel system. So if you are still looking for something this complete and safe out of the box, the APS kit would be the way to go. Nice talking with you yesterday.

Well, the EU is a more powerful setup, with far more tuning parameters to play with. Tuning should always be done by a professional, or someone with a lot of experience tuning the VQ motor. That said, if you have the time, patiences, and stamina, to learn how to tune your own car, then by all means, I encourage it. But just remember that your motor can be easily damaged with improper tuning, and the EU, or any ECU for that matter...doesnt protect you from this.

 

Im the kind of guy that would want to learn how to do it.

I always like the saying you can give a man a fish to eat for a day, or teach him how to fish to eat for a lifetime.

 

Wow this is great, hopefully everything will get sorted out soon, I will probally be using this EU and not even install the blue emanage, hopefully the RPM signal will be able to be picked up from the CAS soon.

P.S. When you start to ship these im also going to need a walbro fuel pump thanks Sharif!

Sounds good. Can you place the order for the pump through the website? And in the comments section...put "add to EU GB order" or else I might forget.

 

No Problem

 

sharif

great news...very exciting...am anxiously waiting for more updates

 

Sounds like the infamous crank/cam signal issue others have had trying to get the AEM EMS and Perfect Power SMT6 to work on the VQs.

I hope Greddy can come up with something.

 

Ive been following this thread to see how the Greddy EU works on the Zs.

I would just like to add with the SMT-6 on my car ('96 Maxima) the crank reading is no longer a problem. With the help of an electrical engineer at work we figured out the problem, so don't say crank signal is a problem on all VQs.

As far as using a SMT-6/7 on a VQ35 I doubt it will ever work right. The cam signal is to complicated and changes with the CVTCs function. Looks like Nissan worked with Greddy so there shouldn't be any problems with the software. However if the crank/cam signals are riddled with noise like my Maxima's are, you may need an RF filter on those lines. Just a suggestion from a fellow VQ piggyback installer.

 

May I have another fish, Sir???

 

So for us NA guys who want A/F fine tuning and timing advance capabilites, this solution isn't quite ready. @%#$!@%#@$%@%$@^%@#$^@, just a little frustrated at the moment. It is starting to suck that in NA form, I can't get the car tuned properly, but if I had FI I could have it done easily. I still don't understand why after 5 reflashes and A/F graphs TS can't seem to get my A/F ratio away from 11.8-12.2 from 4500rpms on up to redline.

 

lazy a$$

 

What are the shipping times for the unit if you are on the GB and just recently placed your order?

 

+1 I would jump on this too if I knew I could benefit from it N/A, but Im still wanting to go F/I in the future..any word?

 

Here is how this will work. I am hoping that Greddy has the crank signal issue sorted out this week. Either way, the F/I guys should still be intereted, since they typically only need to reduce timing, rather than advance it.

At this point, the only feature that doest work, is the timing advance function. Everything else seems functional. The A/F fine tuning is fully functional.

Without further objection, I will be begin shipping out the units on Friday, which will give people enough time to digest the findings, and make any changes needed.

Does this seem OK?

 

You can ship mine, now. I am ready to redo all the original emanage wiring mess.

 

Does the rev limiter cut work so we can rev past the ECU cut point?

 

Got it. Our stocking inventory will be here on Thurs....so I'll be shipping everything out of the EOW.

 

I havent tested this out either. My ECU has a 7100rpm rev limit via ECU reflash, and I havent tried this function yet.

 

I am not sure if this has been discussed yet, so I wanted to make sure I clarified something.

The current e-01 is not compatible with the EU. The e-01 cannot communicate with the EU, and so programming and datalogging will not be avail with the e-01. However, you CAN use the pressure sensor included with the e-01, along with the optional pressure sensor harness. This will allows the EU to see this pressure signal, and you can tune with it. It connects from the e-01 brain to the EU. And of course, the e-01 will still function as a boost controller, as it normally would.

My guess is that Greddy will introduce an e-01 Ultimate...maybe with a color screen, and all kinds of cool features.
