Its not a chip, but a lot of guys on the Mirage board have been talking about the Greddy Emanage and its capabilities. The lancer isn't listed on the application list but I believe one of the guys has worked out what it takes to install it (on the Mirage but shouldn't be much more difficult to install on a lancer). But it's a piggy back so you don't have to tune it to be able to drive your car. You can install it and then tweak.

I don't know that much about it but Im sure that dude in a mirage
could answer all of your questions about it. Im pretty sure that he visits this board.

The price was very reasonable
It allowed for ignition retard and advance with the optional harness and software(to be used on a laptop).
adjustments to fuel maps
adjustments for different size injectors
bigger MAS meters
has a lot of really cool features

I might not have all of the features right with this thing.. but from what I have read... It seems like a really cool addition if you are adding a lot of power adders and don't want to go with a stand-alone computer.

 

I don't actually know much about it, but Im sure there are better devices to use until you have quite a bit of mods. Money is probably better spent elsewhere.

 

Seems like most of the features are vtec and turbo related anyways.

 

What exactly is the Greddy Emanage and how would you install it???

 

Its a fuel controller which can also control ignition

 

First you take a REALLY big hammer...

 

e-Manage (piggy-back fuel computer)
e-Manage is an inexpensive programmable fuel management system that allows you to properly tune your factory fuel system, without having to change the entire factory ECU system to an expensive "stand-alone" unit. The e-Manage system is a universal "piggy-back" type unit, which taps into most factory ECU wiring and it still utilizes the existing sensors. Basic functions will allow the user to slightly alter factory injector duty-cycle(± 20% at 5 preset RPM points), by intercepting and altering airflow or MAP sensor signals. For VTEC cars you can adjust the VTEC shift point.
Additional features that are built into the system, but are only accessible though the use of our PC-Windows based "e-Manage Support Tool" communication software (Please see our Authorized GReddy Support Dealers for more information) are a 16x16 Airflow Adjustmemt Map, Larger Main Injector correction adjustment, Upgrade Air Flow Meter adjustment, Boost Limiter Cut, Anti-engine Stall, VTEC-fuel adjustment, Real-time Map Trace, Real-time Display, Real-time Communication, and basic Data-logging.

With the use of our "Optional Injector Harness" and the software, the unit has the ability to control an additional 16x16 Injector duty cycle Map and the Controls for adding up to 2 Addional Sub-injectors. If the "Optional Ignition Harrness" and the software is used the unit has the ability to control a 16x16 Ignition Timing Map. All of the above Maps can also be Map-traced in Real-time as well. If the factory range of Map or Airflow meter is surpassed, you can incorperate our "Optional GReddy Pressure Sensor and Pressue Harness" to set larger scales of ajustment.

All installation and tuning should only be made by a trained techntion with proper Air/Fuel Monitoring tools.

If you add the optional harnesses, it would actually be considered a piggyback ECU.

It intercepts signals from certain sensors to your ECU and changes the values to allow for larger injectors, a different MAS or MAP sensor, allows your to correct idle problems, correct fuel maps for lean or rich conditions after mods, add additional injectors, correct engine stalling, do data analysis in real time of engine performance, adjust ignition timing, and other things that Im sure Im forgetting.

Like I said, Im not the expert on it. But for the price, it does tons more than somthing like a SAFC. I think somone posted that you could get the unit for around $300 and the cost of the additional harnesses isn't that much additional. The data cable I think was about $70.

So somwhere around $500 with an initial cost of $300 with the other harnesses able to be added at later times for mor functionality.

A lot of the really good features, like ignition control require the harnesses and the use of the software.

 

Yeah, Definitely for people who are doing the more extensive mods but I figured I would put the info here just in case some here didn't know about it.

I do agree that money is spent better elsewhere if your mods are on the mild side.


Those prices listed are MSRP and the parts have been found at better prices on the web.

 

It can be had for 300-325 instead of 379.

 

Basically, it's a quasi-stand-alone w/ the function of A'pexi S-AFC and ITC. Should work the best on forced induction system. The great thing: it's for general application as long as you know where your ECU pin readout.

Remember the less piggy-back you have in your system, the lesser extent of electrical gremlins.
