Back story: I'm running an AEM EMS with my turbo setup. But I need to pass emissions in March. So that gives me 2 months to find a solution. The emissions here is done by the OBD II port, they plug in and as long as I don't throw a check engine light, I'm good to go. We all know that the AEM EMS is not OBD II compatible so I need a temporary solution to pass.

Main concern is that I'm running a 3mm headgasket and 675cc injectors. The boost is not an issue, because I will just remove the blow-off-valve so I don't build boost, and will just need a slight tune on whatever system.

Now my question is:
1. who is running a Greddy E-manage (and which version)?
2. has the ecu thrown a check engine light?

 

I had Greddy E-Manage on my Turbo Integra for like 2 months before I switched to Hondata S300.
For what you are talking about I think it would work.

I assume you have someone who will overlook the mods and E-Manage as long as it doesn't throw a code, because some places around NoVa actually care....

 

Yeah, I'll be able to get around the inspection part of it.

It's just that they can't pass me for emissions without plugging into it.

 

Well then you are golden....
I never threw any codes with E-Manage because of how it works.
It takes the signals that you get from the engine and does a bunch of calculations, then sends what the stock signal should be to the ECU and wait for the ECU to send back what it would do. Then the E-Manage takes those signals and uses it's calculations to send the TUNED signals to the engine.

Although I will have to say it was not fun driving, thats why I made the switch. It lags...

 

Yeah, the lagging or the minuses of the E-manage are of no concern to me. Basically the plan would be to install it, get it tuned, drive to the gas station, get emissions testing complete, re-install AEM EMS and go. I just need to confirm that it won't throw a CEL before I make the purchase.

 

I've been running an E-Manage on my OBDII Civic for like 5 years. It works just fine and I pass inspection every year with it.

 

Humm, you know, I just remembered that I also removed my pulsed secondary air injection pump due to it being in the way of the intercooler piping. I know if this system fails it throws a PO410 code.

 

hey pap do you own the e-man already or will you be purchasing it and then selling it?

You and I both are thinking about really getting one. Imo, best bang for the buck, much better then a vafc.

Good luck guys.

Ill buy it new when i find a guy in my area that delas with it

 

emangle will pass emissions. im also in the NoVa area and know someone who owns a used emangle...or two lol.

 

I will be buying it and then selling. I might end up keeping it if it works well, since I have to pass emissions every 2 years.

lol, id want to know whats wrong with it, also be sure if your gonna go with this you go with the newest greddy ult e manage

 

Now here's another question. What's the difference between the Ultimate and the base? I need to have the ability to subtract fuel since I'm running larger injectors.

 

I know nothing is wrong with it. I was going to buy it but im gonna go with AEM now....

 

stock ecu+stock injectors+your air pump= no code or it shouldent throw a code. even with the lower compression. just pull a charge pipe off.

Beats buying something that you will not need anyway.
