can anybody tell me how to wire the emb to 02 max? i am new about tuning. i searched alot on this forum for how to for emb but all i could find was ecu diagram for 02-03 max.

yeah i looked at that but that link is for emanage ultimate. i need help on emanage blue

 

didnt know blue was still being used..

everyone i know upgraded because of the blue's inconsistancy's and unreliability.

 

the blue has less wires, just install the wires that came with the blue skip the extra wires you don't need.

Why is the blue unreliable for NA engines? I've had mine for quite some time no with no problems. My numbers are excellent and I doubt they would get a whole lot better by spending over 1k on a UTEC. I know the performance increase at this point would not warrant the upgrade.

 

i wasn't suggesting a utec or anything...

but i was looking more along the lines of EMU...

I'm running an AEM EMS 1052U on my turbo s2000, but i know for a fact those stock ecu's are learning ecu's and when you get the car tuned on the EMU, it relearns itself and you lose alot of the information that you tuned.

but at the same time, it depends on your tuner and how well they tuned on part throttle and what not...

 

EMU + VQ35 = melted coils

 

the harness i have on EMB connector 1 harness. do i really need connector 2 harness. i mostly need to tune the a/f only. if thats the case looks like i need to mess with only five to six wire only. Thnx buddy

 

you need 6 injector wire, 6 coil wires, power, ground, MAF TPS and a few others at least.

 

this is misinformation. Use diodes correctly and it will be fine

 

This is not a problem on the <03's, but the 04+'s have a built in wideband so the greddy stuff doesn't work as well.

I opted for the EMB because of price, and availability, I would like a few of the features found on the EMU but it isn't worth the extra money for me. I got a great deal on the blue, and I think my dyno numbers are pretty solid.

 

i dont think i have the ignition harness which goes to connector2. do i really have to have this?

 

Knight, I got a few questions for you regarding the EMB. I will P/M you.

 

if you want to control your afr correctly... yes

 

hm... so i can still do little tune with what i have though right? in the future i probably buy it

 

Warning: old thread bump!

Does anyone know what a solid yellow light at the USB connection means? The light is yellow whether I plug in my giff tech cable or not. Also, it will let me "communicate" with the unit, but I can't upload or download, it says communication error. The support tool says it is online, but when trying to download from the emanage it says communication error. Are there any dials or anything I need to change to communicate?

 

fixed the problem...and I look like an idiot. I didnt check the com port for the tool, and when I did I found out it was set to COM19 (why the f are there more than 5-6 COMs? This computer has some 140 COMs!!). Anyway, set it to COM2 and were goin smooth now. Time for some tuning. Thanks for the help

 

ok, more problems, does anybody have the setup info for the blue on a 5.5gen? I need the values for the three dials, jumper locations, and all the parameter values. Thanks for any help.

 

anybody?

 

to my knowledge you shouldnt mess with the jumper settings for our cars.. those are for hondas

 

i more meant the dials. right now im running 7-0-B and NS_HW-12 and it starts and run, but runs at 10:1 or so and wont rev up. Im pretty sure the MAF signal is F'ed cause it went into limp mode and ran great minus the 2500 limit. I took the EMB out and it runs fine, so the MAF is still good

 

ttt

 

anybody???

 

OLD THREAD BUMP...

im curious about the dial settings as well

im getting ready to put my EMB into my car and these 3 dials are holdin me back...
