GREDDY E-MANAGE, GREDDY E-MANAGE ULTIMATE, GREDDY V-MANAGE* -* BEST INFO HERE!* Electronic Fuel Injection Ignition Tuning

scroll down to ultimate and download the manual.

laptop, usb cable needed.

install driver, connect pc to emanage, turn ign on, open emanage software, it'll show offline/online and also ask if you would like to interact in REAL time.

the site given has updates as well as this site.
gXg GNgbNp[c GReddy e-manage AeBCg

the trust site has a newer update but I think it's just one higher for V-manage, and doesnt do anything for us. but i used it anyway. its the 2.16/1.10

when you connect it'll ask you to update(maybe, it did on mine). when you do maps, it'll show it's locked and ask you if you wanna clear it or cancel. this is where your support from greddy disappears. if you clear the locked map it's at your own risk.

have fun.

okay i'm getting a greddy turbo kit, and i just want to ask you some noob questions.

1. instead of those crappy greddy sponge filters, can i replace it with an apexi filter?

2. can i just use stock fuel injectors instead of greddy 370cc + injectors?

3. i know greddy ultimate manage is better than the regular one but will i gain more power from having an ultimate manage?

1. I don't see why not. Just make sure you get the right size (measure the inside of the GReddy filter)

2. No, you cannot use your stock injectors. They won't flow enough fuel under boost.

3. Get the Ultimate. Just do it. GReddy would have included the regular one if they thought you could get away with it.

Just get the kit and try it out first before raising the boost. The last thing you want to is breaking something. I had my kit in my car for over a year before deleting the cat and raising the boost.

Just a quick question, has anyone tried running the kit w/o the orifice? I'm waiting on mine from Greddy, and so far, the car seems to run fine, doesn't throw any codes. Just wondering if there are any short-term effects.

Without the Orifice? I'm pretty sure everyone that has the kit uses the orifice. If your kit is running fine without it than I guess you dont need it.

I am sorry I didn't respond to you earlier man, I didn't notice your post. I know GReddy (TRUST) says that you can hit 380 horse on their website, but it is pretty much a pipe dream. What they are really saying is, that under perfect circumstances, the turbo included with the kit (I said the TURBO, NOT the GReddy kit!) can flow enough air to support 380 CRANK horsepower (NOT WHEEL horsepower) in LABORATORY conditions. This is if GOD HIMSELF bolted this mofo onto his civic with a divine 100% efficient intercooler, charge pipes that have no aerodynamic drag, ambient air temperatures near 32 degrees, perfect injector fuel atomization, spark temperature resembling atomic fusion, cam angle and timing designed by stephen hawking, and the absolute perfect cylinder shape and flame propagation that only exists in the minds of the most die hard, hard core civic loving thermodynamics studying physics majoring grad student to ever walk the planet earth (or any other, for that matter). You will never see those numbers out of a T517Z turbo.

Then what would be a typical number? 280whp from a well tuned maxed out greddy kit?

when you stuck a blow off valve on you car after the turbo, what kinda was it? was it a recirculating one or what because im not sure about the hiogh flow sensor on the intake manifold. will this effect the engine light and or the tunning?

Up for Sale? I never post it up for sale, but I am considering selling the whole car.

Is the ORT4 oil return line what we need from the vendor on honda-tech.com? also do we need the top mount manifold ($75) or just the regular application ($67) and is flange kit also needed?

I've seen the kit for the R18A1; any suggestions for a person who owns a EX automatic, four-door? The sight says that the kits works with the automatic, but the car will need a lot of tuning.

I just got a set of NGK iridium plugs (1 step colder I believe, please let me know if they're not) BKR8EIX, now my question is should I be gapping these? unsure because I have always heard you're not suppose to gap iridium plugs. If I have to gap them what should I be gapping them to?
