Emance Rom Tune Answers

[nosajton]

if emanage cannont communicate with the ecu, the ecu is in fail safe mode.. let me know if the check engine light is on. also make sure the knob on the ecu is turned all the way counterclockwise also was the ecu jumper cj1 switched to cj2?

[Rockogtr]

I still haven't seen where you have shown the work you put into these maps. Still sounds like you are just Map Scaling a tune you copied from Enthalpy or eccs.hybridka.com

It says this right in the description, "This auction is for a E~mance tuned ecu. These ecu's are comparable to the big guys that charge $500-600! you get the hype, without paying the price. no more $500-600!"

so i turned the knob counter clock wise and disconnected the e manage ...turned the key and the idle didnt even get to a 1000 rpm and then backfired and died, i thought i blew something it was so loud, any more idea's jason ??i was hoping to drive it to a meet this weekend but its not looking good

i just shipped you out a new daughterboard and chips

lets see if this helps. if it does just send the old one back to me

after multiple issues (not related to the tune) I finally got my car running good.

20psi on a FP Big28 and it rips.

I do have some stuttering at full boost but I'm sure its my plugs.

I'll have a dyno sheet asap.

Thanks for everything Jason, your topnotch and have been very helpful.

A+++++

[nosajton]

what gap are you running? at 20psi you should be around 0.24 gap for your boost level so you dont get spark blowout. in my ka-t i run 0.20 gap at 29psi w/no spark blowout

can you gap the iridiums?

sure can, i got iridium ix in my car right now

the way you gap iridiums is you put the gapper in the plug and bend the ground while the gapper is in there

it is a pita but it works

[toledo240]

i also will be running my fp28 around 18-20 psi.. i got my chip in there and its really running hella rich... than again i dont know what the hell im doing with a safc so once i get back from vacation ill let you guys know some numbers i pull out on a dyno and fine tuned.

Got my chip from this guy, still haven't had time to check it out though.

turn it down a little on the safc. at 20psi i rather tune on the rich side than the lean if you know what i mean

got the new board installed , the idle got better but dies after the idle comes down ... im still trying to figure out... but i might just say fuck it and use the e-manage

do you have access to a wide band so i can see some afrs? how does it run off of idle?

[Pacman]

I have a few questions:

-It looks like you can't tune on S14's? I have an OBDII car so would that make me out of the loop as far as an alternative to JWT's $600 tag for a reflash?
-Is this a simple 'remove chip and install new chip' type thing after your work was performed? Kind of like the older Chevy's that Superchips makes for them. We wouldn't have to keep shipping the ECU back to you for re-tunes, would we? This would make it easy for future upgrades.
-Your work looks like it all fits in the O.E. computer case, correct?
-Will the MIL work normally? What about the OBDII data port if you can tune '96-up cars?
-How much, roughly, would a tune cost and a re-tune after your initial tune was completed? (You can PM the rough price if you want to keep it quiet).
-You can tune N/A and run pump gas, right? I see a lot of E85 and turbo talk.
-Is there any way you could make an option to place a sticker on the ECU and/or give a paper saying what work was performed for what mods to what car? This would make me feel much better about a tune knowing that the computer will work for 'X' mods.
-What kinda gas mileage loss in incurred? I know it will be lower since you're richening the mixture up.
-We send you our ECU, you send us another, correct? Do you make stock chips to plug in for smog? Call it a smogging chip if you will.
-Lastly, how do the options work (as far as A/C, C/C, etc.) after a re-flash?

This sparks my interest since I hear a lot of talk about my Honda friends getting chipped and socketed ECU's. I wanna have a ECU to match my modifications, too!

[BigVinnie]

Who gives a flying fuck??? What is this thread about?
If businesses are reputable, people say good things, if people say bogus shit they start asking questions in threads like this....

Gabe Z taught me ROM tune knowledge comes free. You can copy maps and all that bullshit, all it comes down to is does it work???? There is no copyright to engine management rom tunes. Take what you will at some ones discretion or learn to tune it your self for under $100 in software/hardware, and chips.

What the fuck is the point to this B.S????

when i tuned your ecu, i hookd it up to my computer to make sure there are no short circuits, it passed.

but when you receieved it, the injector was not firing, so you sent it back, i offered to look at it.

From a professional stand point why didn't you contact the buyer about the problems with the board and discuss that the board would need to be replaced with a new one??? They do make board replacements it's not that hard to explain the situation. The buyer has to assume responsibility that he is getting a "like new" product with the tune. It only adds to the reputation of the seller to do something right the first time. If you notice corrosion you should contact the buyer immediately explaining a new board would be needed.

That is not true. I purchased a tune from you for the sohc ka and it is identical to the develish stage 3 N/A tune on the hybridka forum. I paid 50$ for something i already had for free. Wont make that mistake agian. Copied his tune and sold it as your own.....

[KawBoy]

OUCH!

LOL.. good read

I did contact the buyer.

the buyer had someone from ebay send me an ecu to me, i contacted buyer and let him know it had corrosion and explained i was going to try and clean it up but it was pretty bad.

What about the whole taking a map from a forum thing?

there was one tune over 18 months ago that a collegue of mine said he made for the sohc. devious brought it to my attention that it resembled his tune and we immediately cut ties with that person and stopped selling that tune.

you can even ask devious about this. this is old news.

The site says that you guys have eveything we need for the ECU. So do we still have to send you guys a ECU or do you guys supply the ECU?

[KawBoy]

He just sends the chips and you solder it yourself.. or you could send it to him and he could have it done for extra

Jason does have options.
1) Plug and Play tuned ECU all ready to go(no down time)
2) Just the chips (you get a daughter board yourself and do all the work)
3) Send him a ECU and he will send it back already chipped and ready to go.

I went with step one since I am impatient. BTW 1000miles problem free other than my own small mistakes, nothing wrong with the tune so far.

[Rockogtr]

i still cant get my rom tune working so im just gonna tune it with my e manage ... hey jason any refunds ??

[nasx]

So can you tune so an SR20det with an SC61 (maybe sc67), BC stage 3 cams, Greddy intake on 1000cc MSD injectors and Z32 maf?
Guessing an 8500rpm redline and 25+ psi on race gas.

Not looking to get maximum power out of the combo but need a descent tune that wil allow me to have fun without risking my built motor until I get an AEM

[ZenkiSX]

Price went up for the ECU tune on ebay. About the same price as Redline tune now.

[steve shadows]

why are you guys running AFCs?

Throw them away.

If Jason is offering legitimate tuning services he should be able to tune safely and your AFC will do nothing positve but offset timing curves.

Jason, tell them to dump the AFC's. Maybe we can get a better idea of how well your services are simply in the Tuned ECU's capability to match output and their different set-ups.
