Hi guys:
anyone tried installed Emanage ultimate on FD1A with R18 yet?

I tried and it's working, but i found some problem after 3 days driving with it.
wiring done according to the user manual, I didn't connect VTEC control, from my understand, R18 with E-throttle able to open up the throttle during cruising and delay intake valve open timing. so leave it first.
during the software setup, there is no R18 update in E-ultimate yet from V.2.0, so i choose K20, and initially engine able to start, working fine. but after 3 days, the CEL suddenly out, and when i on my ignitiong switch without start engine, the gear idicator shows I'm in P, but the indicator for D keep blink. can feel RPM not smoothly going up especially at 2000RPM range.
Tried to use BOD2 scan tool, but didn't display any error code for that CEL, after reset ECU, everything's fine.

any guru here able to help me?
thanks

 

Dude, why are you using an e-manage on an r18? Boosting?

 

:: shakes head ::

 

well atleast he's using the k20 program

 

Hah.... oh man, what is it this morning? Everyone wants a fuel/ vtec management system. Jeez, hold off..... wait a little while.

Comment #1 - This is hard to follow.

Comment #2 - No offense, but this is what happens when you use something not made for what you want to do. The application has everything to do with it. It is made for K20 and you have R18. 2 different engines. Also, I would envision the ECU's being different as well. Hence the cells going out.

 

The ECU's are fairly similar actually.

 

.....Well in terms of wiring at least, programming is different, sorry had a brain fart.

 

Yup. going to custom a turbo kit for it. the easiest one honda ever made to turbo charge A down pipe as exhaust manifold.

 

I get my R18 ECU wiring from one of my japanese friend whom had a workshop there.
It's a little bit diff between K20z and R18A as pin location. sockets are the same

 

now my situation:
ECU showed CEL on, gear D indicator blinks while in P gear.
I got no idea what does that mean. no clue to solve the problem. not at least let me know where i did wrongly.....
anyone can help? OBD2 scan tool unable to tell why CEL is on

 

The only thing I could think of is wiring on the ECU, could've messed that up a bit..... plus if you're not boosting already, I'll assume you didn't tune it yet, that could be an issue.

Do you have some sort of wiring diagram for the R18?

 

Wait.... damnit, that's the Si wiring guide..... poop, disregard that.... I have the r18 sitting around somewhere.......

 

yup, in japanese.
what we need for ultimate is pressure sensor, +-V, RPM, ignition for each channel, TPS. VTEC i leave it originally, as from honda, they claimed of the E-throttle issue.
and there are 2 TPS signal, one is from driver's input, the other one is actual throttle operate by ECU.
