i bought another maxima with the emanage blue already installed and tuned. I went and bought the support tool kit and I also installed an AEM wideband. I know i need to buy one more part for the wideband to communicate with the emanage, my questions are,

with the support tool cable, where does the end opposite of the usb plug into? if it is for my laptop, do i need some sort of adapter? thats where i am lost, i cannot figure out why or where that end goes to. Isearched on mohdparts.com and the picture there is the same part (cable) they sent me.

second question is about the part number 15900912, the wideband peice, has anyone used one and is that all i need to read my a/f's off my emanage to display on my laptop? i am sure once i can get the emanage connected and see how things work i will awnser some of my own questions, but for the last week i have been going crazy.

third question, does or can the emanage activate a VI? i tried hooking up my summit switch and it will not let me activate my VI. it is wired correctly, although inoticed when its all hooked up, it will barely hold rpm's and almost dies on me, along with no tach working. Sorry for the emanage newb questions, but ANY HELP will be great, hoping Nealoc can chime in...

 

should be able to find it in just about any computer related store. You cant use just a usb to usb cable. .. unfortunately.


the piece needed for the EB to read the wideband I'm not sure of. I thought he EB wasnt able to display WBo2 reading, but I'm not 100% sure.

I also believe the EB should be able to activate the VIAS. there are Vtec Wires as apart of the harness. Connecting the correct one to the VIAS and setting up an given "crossover Point" you should be able to activate the VI, via the EB.

in looking at the diagrams (pdfs) for the EB, it states one of the dials on the front of the EB (when you take off the faceplate) is for adjusting the Vtec point. But when I spoke to Greddy, they stated that the VTEC is only controlled via the software.

 

yteah when i was reading through the instructions, it was talking about vtec, so i was thinking the vi could work as well. hmm..

i was also reading through and saw that they said i should only use there wire but it doens't fit anywhere... i will have to find one that will work, is that what some others had to do? i need to spend some time with it this weekend, and get more hands on, i just need to get it connected to my laptop arghh! thanks for your help, i will go find a new cable.

the airfuel connector with the yellow end and two wires is what i was looking into, but again where whould that connect to in the EB? the 2 wires work perfectly, because my aem wideband says to connect the 2 it leaves to whatever engine management unit i choose...,

 

no eu no care I will look at it sometime this weekend for you. I dl the new updates for the EU and now I gotta install the sucker and play with it.

 

well I stand corrected. I didnt know there was a cable for it. I might drop my VAFCII in the future and run the EB with a wbo2. Would be cheaper and better than the VAFCII and a datalogging WBo2.

on the EB there is a yellow port where the wbo2 harness would connect to. I'll grab my EB and tell you for sure when I get home later



ninjaedit:


connect there . . .

 

Did some research, looks the the EB can datalog one thing at a time (ie boost or WB) since there is only one plug (yellow in picture) available rather than 2 on the EU, so from the looks of its, its either Boost or A/F when datalogging with the EB.

 

X2, me and jcy98 were researching that as well, that is one downside to the EB, although I still would think an EB with a wideband is > VAFC and wideband, EB at least has some options and you can datalog boost etc... I will try mine out this week and post how it worked out.

 

correct me if I'm wrong but with the blue you are not limited (or as limted) to amount of tuning point like the VAFCII or SAFCII?

 

I think there are far more tuning options with the blue than any afc, JCY98 can probably give a more detailed response as he is more familiar with afc's.

 

I had a feeling I have seen screen shots of the eb datalogging screen, and asssumed that fuel could be adjusted in 50 rpm increments if one wanted.

might have to re-think my VACFII over my Eblue.

the Eblue for JYc98 wouldnt be that benifitial with him being boosted, he's want the EB to act as a boost controller, and datalog A/F also. So it would appear the EB is exactly friendly to boosted cars who would want to data log Boost + A/F for tuning.

 

No, I actually bought a EU last week. The EB was on Glenmoor's new car which is SC (vortechpower's old car). The EB or EU would not act as a boost controller unless u can tie it with the Greddy Profec E-01, along with more features the the EU has over the EB, the specific one that we were talking about is that the EU has two places for both measure of boost and A/F to plug into the unit rather than one or the other for the EB.
Both EB/EU has more tunibility compare to the SAFC/VAFC like you said because of the correction incriments. Also the method of correction is different since SAFCII tricks the MAF while the EB uses the injectors harness.
