E-Manage

[Ed98GST]

For anyone who has tuned or is tuning currently with E-Manage, what is your opinion specifically on the use of the ignition and injector harnesses together? Was it easy or difficult to tune the proper timing and fuel settings (compared to an SAFC)? What additional tuning components have proven most useful to you to properly tune fuel and timing separately (EGT, A/F voltage meter, wideband o2, etc.)? How thorough are the logging features offered by E-Manage?

I've read through the previous threads on this and asked some vendors, but I really want to know what the hardcore users think. I plan on using as many of the available features as possible, so it should prove more useful than an AFC/logger software combo. I welcome any overall thoughts or concerns about E-Manage, but I'm specifically interested in the combined use of the two harnesses mentioned above...

i personally would suggest getting dsmlink. very easy to tune and cheap. That is just my personal opinion.

Thanks, but I think I'm going to give E-Manage a shot for now. If it doesn't work out the way I'd like, I can always switch to something different (like DSMLink).

Anyone out there who's used these E-Man capabilities together that can provide some info?

Well, I'm still looking for info on the use of both harnesses/features together, but I'll pose the question a little differently to get some insight.

Does anyone have any ideas on a best method for adjusting fuel and timing with E-Manage? The logging software doesn't log knock, so I'm assuming I'll need to adjust the fuel first and log a few runs, then adjust timing and log some more....repeat process until the numbers look good?

I know with a SAFC that I'd simply tune fuel until my EGTs (if using an EGT) read to a certain number to determine fuel richness or leanness. Would I do the same in this case with the fuel first and then go back to adjust my timing where I see it being added/pulled to create "smooth" fuel and timing curves across all RPMs? Anyone have any different/better ideas on a good process for doing this?

I'll probably start playing with this in a couple weekends and can post what works best if anyone's interested.
