Greddy E-manage computer

[Arman S]

I Think I've decided to go with the Greddy E-manage computer system to control my ECU. It's extremely flexible for tuning and I have seen nothing but great reviews for it. Any of you have experience with this unit yet?

[Dado]

can you post some more info on it? Thanks

[kelly_s]

are you goin to use the Profec e-01? i like how it looks and it seems pretty functional. the signal drifter twins use them. at least they did last year.

its good stuff man...ihave alot of friends with the jdm cars that are boosted...seen nothing but great things about it

FROM THE GREDDY WEBSITE:



e-Manage is an inexpensive programmable fuel management system that allows you to properly tune your factory fuel system without having to change the entire factory ECU system to an expensive "stand-alone" unit. The e-Manage system is a universal "piggy-back" type unit which taps into most Japanese factory ECU wiring, by utilizing the existing sensors. Basic functions will allow the user to slightly alter factory injector duty-cycle (± 20% at 5 preset RPM points) by intercepting and altering airflow or MAP sensor signals. For Honda VTEC cars you can adjust the VTEC shift point. Additional features are built into the system but are only accessible through the use of the e0-1 programmer or our PC-Windows based "e-Manage Support Tool" communication software (Please see our Authorized GReddy Support Dealers for more information). There is a 16x16 airflow adjustment map, larger main injector correction adjustment, upgrade air flow meter adjustment, boost limiter cut, anti-engine stall, VTEC-fuel adjustment, real-time map trace, real-time display, real-time communication and basic Data-logging. With the use of our "Optional Injector Harness" and the software, the unit has the ability to control an additional 16x16 injector duty cycle map and the controls for adding up to 2 additional sub-injectors. If the "Optional Ignition Harness" and the software are used the unit has the ability to control a 16x16 ignition timing map. All of the above maps can also be map-traced in real-time as well. If the factory range of map or airflow meter is surpassed, you can incorporate our "Optional GReddy Pressure Sensor and Pressure Harness" to set larger scales of adjustment. All installation and tuning should only be made by a trained technician with proper air/fuel monitoring tools. (Some functions may not be compatible with some applications.)

the basic unit itself is not enough just to handle for me, since it only controls the air and fuel mixture. but greddy sells a number of plug ins and sensors that allow you to control ignition timing, and also a pressure sensor so we can actually get rid of the Air flow sensor. It's not inexpensive if you buy everything available. Still runs around $1,000.

why don't you just get the tec3 from vic at sias which is a plug and play kit? Worked out really well for me. www.siastuning.com That is a full standalone engine management system and I love it. Saved me tons of headaches plus I didn't have to deal with AA anymore which was a nightmare.

[Arman S]

Isn't the Tec3 quite a bit more, like $1,800 or so? Although it does seem to be running your car pretty tight Dado. I don't know for sure yet. I've still got time and I still have quite a bit to invest into mechanical parts, i.e. my block, pistons and various other things. Dado, can you plug your laptop into the system and make changes if you want to street tune it?

[Dado]

yeah on the fly. There is a special for 2,500

[Arman S]

Do you know of anyone that is familiar with this system that could tune it?

e-01 boost controller + e-manage works really cool. Full access to all timing/fueling maps and 3 hours playback log file and all this without any notebooks. The only problem e-manage will not control BMW ignition system without some tricks with your DME.

A TEC-3, Motec, or Autronic are much more flexable then the Greddy. Once you have a decent base map tuning isn't that tough.

We run TEC-2, TEC-3s on the street motors and Motec M48s on the race motors.

There are lots of folks out there who can help you properly setup a TEC-3

I know the Tec-3 is a better system, but at a much higher cost than the full Greddy System. The decision is still up in the air for me. I am researching both quite a bit before I buy.

How did you get it working and how did everything work out? Did you take picutures of the wires you had to cut in the ECU? I talked to you on bf.c about it and I never saw you reply.

The e-manage is nice, but as Oleg Coupe said, it would take some modification to the ECU to allow the timing controls to be used. Greddy says that the computer will not work on our cars, but Oleg Coupe says he got it to work, and I'm very interested in how.

The e-manage is popular with the 3S (3000GT/Stealth) crowd because it can control timing and can be more user friendly for the not-so-gifted in the tuning department. But if it requires modifications to the ECU and you can get a plug-and-almost-play (you know you still haveta tune it, lol) for the same price i'd go for the standalone (we have the AEM EMS standalone available to us for $1,200, plugs into the stock ECU plugs and replaces it. Making the jump to the $2,500 TEC woundn't be popular for our crowd sincewe have less expensive options, but I'm a TEC fan, also)
