Default Howto: Install the GReddy ignition harness on the 350z.

Just finished it. Try this at your own risk. It's working great for me, and I think this is the same solution greddy is working on. I think they are just testing it a bit more throughly than I am.

If you don't have the Adobe PDF viewer download it from http://www.adobe.com for free. Or use this jpeg version.

If you guys have any questions let me know.

Thank you for all the hard work!!!

Great job on the write up!

Keep us posted on how this is working out for you. I'll start with this install in a couple of weeks.

Stupid Question for you, you mention the RPM adapter...thats the RPM adapter that comes with the e-manage, correct? Or is this a seperate harness that you have.

ETX, this is great work. One more question though. Does the eManage come preloaded with a retarded ignition map? Or is it blank, and waiting for the new values?

Nope, it's encluded with the greddy tt kit to supply a rpm signal to the e-manage.

It's blank. I maped out a simple retard map. It's probably hurting performance, but it's good until I get the car on the dyno.

On a side note, I just installed the walbro 255lph fp. I'm going to go with the TS flash to try to smooth out my idle. Then it's dyno time. I'm hoping to make a low 12 second run before it gets too warm out here in detroit.

Is the retard value that you enter into the e-01 very intuative? Ie: for 5degrees of retard, you just enter -5 or something like that? Or is there some conversion or table of values?

Yeah that's how it works. Put in -5 and it will pull 5 digrees. I am using the boost sensor to map it out. The map sensor is at 1.5vdc at atmospheric pressure, and every .1v is 1 psi. So 2.0vdc is 5 psi.

Very nice....so i guess I need to buy the boost sensor harness for the emanage to see the boost? Or does the boost signal travel through the USB cable from the profect e-01 to the emanage??

You will need the specific Greddy sensor which hooks directly to the e-manage unit. Then feeds the info to the e-o1.

If this is true, this is an aweful design. You'd think that the boost senor in the Profec could send that message to the eManage via the USB Cable. Crap...something else I need to buy.

Hopefully I am wrong....but I am pretty sure that is the way it works. Unless my Greddy dealer is full of B.S. Maybe you only need it when you are using the laptop and the tuning software for the e-manage alone. Fingers crossed.

You need the Profec e-01 pressure sensor harness.

http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/#E-...ional%20Parts:

Yeah, I don't understand why it was designed like this, oh well. I got it when I ordered my ignition harness from ^ that web site. That's the best source for emanage parts and info I have found. Quick shipping as well. I am going to be tuning my fuel map to that sensor as well. That's the best way to do it.

Thanks for bringing this back to life.


And as a reminder to everyone...even if you install the diodes, dont leave your car in the "key-on-engine-off" position for more than a few seconds (all the indications lights on). This position for an extended period of time will still fry the coils. You can leave the key in the ACC position, so you can listen to your stereo and stuff...but keep it out of the "on" position unless the car is running..of course.

Hate to reincarnate this thread, but PN: 1N5400 has been replaced by 1N5401 . . . unfortunately, none of the Radioshacks in my area (3 or 4) have this particular rectifier diode!!! Is there a generic description for this diode that perhaps another diode will work too (ie so many volts and amps, etc)?

Thanks!

Gary

They will all work fine...I actually used the 5401 in my car. It just has a slightly higher rating...they will all work. Glad you found this thread.

Interesting Note from Greddy . . . apparently they have an adapter to prevent the emanage from frying our coils. I've got one coming for my upcoming install. If they fry, I'll be the first to let ya know

Yes, please let me know about this adapter so I can finally install the damn ignition harness too.
