123tom123tom Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 right i have a number of questions in regards to this EMB:) 1. the unit itself was bought second hand off Ryan G, i believe it used to be on a honda not 100% though, is there a way of resetting it to factory? 2. sorry about the quality of the pick in regards to this next question, but the side of th EMB has some little twisty dial things, they are currently all set to '0' should they be set to anything different. 3. What do i connect the what i believe to be a boost pressure sensor too, can some one confirm that is what it actually is. (could it be put to the pipe that comes directly out of the back of the intake chamber. 4. inside it has lots of jumper settings do these need to be changed as it has been on a honda. any help is appreciated here.

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 right i have a number of questions in regards to this EMB:) 1. the unit itself was bought second hand off Ryan G, i believe it used to be on a honda not 100% though, is there a way of resetting it to factory? The unit will remember its last maps, to change that you just need to goo into all the maps in the software and reset to "0", 2. sorry about the quality of the pick in regards to this next question, but the side of th EMB has some little twisty dial things, they are currently all set to '0' should they be set to anything different. Leave them set to "0" 3. What do i connect the what i believe to be a boost pressure sensor too, can some one confirm that is what it actually is. (could it be put to the pipe that comes directly out of the back of the intake chamber. Yes its the pressure sensor, just connects to the rear panel 4. inside it has lots of jumper settings do these need to be changed as it has been on a honda. Yes here is a link to install and jumper settings, http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/install/2jz-gte_install/index.html any help is appreciated here. ..

You should see a loading up bar and the words corresponding displayed. Once it has impoted data you will be able to open the maps which were tuned from the toolbars at the top of page, airflow/ ignition etc. To set a base just set all the maps to 0.

n boost Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) There is a problem with the software sometimes and it will not import data and the bar on screen will not load up. Try exiting the software and going back in a couple of times and it will probably start working. What version software are u using?, i'd recommend a update to version 1.49. As long at is says online u should be fine with the ign key position. Are u using a genuine communication cable?

As long at is says online u should be fine with the ign key position. Are u using a genuine communication cable? yes i believe it is the genuine cable, looks like the one on there website for advertising, when updating the unit can i just down load a update from some where onto my laptop or does the laptop have to be hooked up to the emb to do it. ps my version was 1.11, i have updated it to 1.13/1.39 firmware i think that is correct. dont think i can version any higher that that with out a original 1.20/1.40 cd Edited August 4, 2008 by 123tom123tom (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just upload of the web and when u connect to emanage it will update the unit itself (main unit update). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tom123tom Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 i have just tried doing what you said, but the light is on but know one is in:blink: it says it is online and the E in the top corner of the software is flashing green, but when i try and import it just does as i said earlier in the thread. It says corresponding in progress, or something along those lines but does nothing. the loading bar doesnt even start, i got the update off the web for the firmware v1.39. I went to the update main unit and it looked for the file i downloaded, it found it, brilliant, went to upload it to the main unit and it failed. what am doing wrong:taped: i have a pic of the cable attached(i get connected so i cant imagine it is this) i did all the jumper settings inside aswell to what is correct for a supra.... if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Did that cable come with the unit/software, not sure if they have changed it but its not the same as the one i used to have. This is the correct cable, http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/support_tool_box_open.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tom123tom Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 the unit was second hand and bought from ryan g on here so am guessing it should be fine.... it still connects to the emb, well it says it is online when i plug it in. when i plug it in it asks if i want to create a emb data connection, i said yes it searched for the drivers on the software disk, then said sucessfully installed then the unit sorftware said online, when i pull the cable out it says offlie so i think it works?????think????? plus my laptop doesnt have the 9 pin serial port on it. its all going wrong!!! what next please help am becoming depressed about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 That deffo aint the cable that i have either. E manage use's a serial to usb connection and is very tempermental about other cables and usb converters etc. I myself have a brand new laptop which does not have a serial connection and after trying some adaptors belkin etc which did not work i ended up buying a cheap laptop with serial connection. The pic that tricky ricky posted is the correct cable and believe it will sort outyour communication problems. U can buy clone cables but no idea where from and even some of those dont work properly.

123tom123tom Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 is there anybody near me that actually maps these things so i dont have to mess with it full stop. the conclution is i buy a new greddy cable and a new laptop with the serial port and hopefully this will solve the problem.....

123tom123tom Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 am stuck with this one at the minute. I think i might leave this aspect for a while and get other stuff done. Like fitting the 3 transmission coolers and filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 For mapping ANY ecu that uses a serial connection I have found that you are creating hassle using converter et cetera, using a laptop with a true serial port negates a lot of these problems straight away. I bet most pro mappers will be found to use a laptop with a proper serial port for ecu's that expect them. Just leave it be until whoever maps the car is on site, that's my advice.

heckler Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 there is a convertor cable usb -> usb specifically for the EMB - I have one and work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 there is a convertor cable usb -> usb specifically for the EMB - I have one and work fine Out of interest mate, what brand and model is it? and what brand of laptop do u have? I ask this because my mates laptop worked o.k with the converter but would not work on mine, maybe compatability problems with some brands.
