For those people that have already connected the e-manage please explain my confusion. This is the diagram that I am following:



Yet, when I look in my wiring diagram this is how the coils are listed:

4 = IGPLS1 which agrees with this drawing but the rest are:

12 = IGPLS2 (this diagram shows 12 to connect to Coil #4)
13 = IGPLS3 (this diagram shows 13 to connect to Coil #2)
14 = IGPLS4 (this diagram shows 14 to connect to Coil #3)

What's right or what am I missing?

 

You don't hook up the ignition harness in numerical order, but you use the firing order.

Ign1- cyl 1
Ign2- cyl 3
Ign3- cyl 4
Ign4- cyl 2

that kinda made sense at one point but I wanted to make damn sure before I fry my coils.
Thanks!!!

 

Hey, that's my diagram!!

The original posted by Virus had the coils conencted 1-1, 2-2, etc. This was incorrect. I modified the connections to firing order and confirmed that this is the correct order.

That said, the E-manage doesn't use the crank angle sensor for timing and hence is not much good at timing control.

 

Well, thanks for drawing this up

I have added to my installation folder

So its not that good at timing because it doesn't use crank sensor input, but it will do a decent job from what I hear...??

 

You have to pull lots of timing to get it to stop detonating even below VTEC. I was pulling over 10deg at 4k rpm. I never reved it over 6 to map the rest of the rpm range, mainly because detonation is really diffi ult to hear in VTEC unless it is really bad. It wasn't worth the risk to damage the engine to map it.

With the Split sec unit, I was pulling 6 max at 9k, which is double the Vortech supplied timing retard of 2.9deg max.

I can only assume that the way the e-manage wires to the coils has a adverse effect on the PCM's control over the coils.

 

Pulling over 10 degrees at 4rpm? damn

Thanks for the warning.

But once you got it tuned, did it give you any problems there after?

 

I never bothered to finish a functional timing map for a Stock boost Vortech.It wasn't worth damaging an engine when I allready had a tuned Map in the Split second controller ( I remapped it)

I used the combination of e-manage to run the injectors and the Split Sec. to control timing.

Anyone have the diagram... It seems like the picture link isn't working.
