From Nissan 350Z & 370Z Wiki
The GReddy e-manage Ultimate was engineered to preserve the best features of the original e-manage (an economical price, the use of existing sensors, the ability to easily alter stock settings, & the vast compatibility for most Japanese performance vehicles), while advancing new innovations in piggyback engine control management. Although the external physical dimensions are the same, the Black-Chrome Ultimate has an increased number of input and output ports along with new built-in adapters, to add a number of new options.
In addition to standard e-manage airflow-based adjustments, the Ultimate version includes new and upgraded features. Included is a PC-based Ultimate Support Tool software CD, with an easy-to-use Parameter Set-up, tab menu format and speedy USB communication. Ultimate has improved direct Map control for adding and subtracting Fuel and Ignition. The ability to switch between 2 preset tuning Maps (i.e. Street or Race program) via externally mounted toggle switches. There are Maps for Individual cylinder adjustment for both Fuel and Ignition. There are also options to convert injection and ignition systems (i.e. group or sequential injection and group or individual fire ignition.) An Airflow Output Map option even allows for airflow meter elimination. And when used with a wideband A/F Meter, the Air Fuel Target Map can self-tune an Injector base tuning Map, to speed up initial tuning. There are also built-in Boost, Rev and Speed Limiter-Cut features. To create super smooth operation, there are various fine tuning Correction Maps to adjust for Throttle Acceleration, Vehicle Speed, Water Temp, Intake Temp, Auto Trans Shift, Anti Engine Stall, and Idle. To further aid in tuning, e-manage Ultimate's improved integrated Monitoring, Map Tracing and Datalogging features far exceed any other piggyback controller on the market. Even when not connected to the software, 8 channels of datalogging (at 20msec intervals) can be recorded and stored to be reviewed later. With the Support Tool connected, over 30 channels can be covered. Other new features include: Improved RPM recognition, Warning Settings, Password Protection for individual tuning Maps, NVCS (Nissan), VTEC (Honda), O2 Feed-back, Clean Fouled Plugs, and numerous others in future updates.
Ideal for optimizing and fine-tuning for performance products like Exhaust, Air Intake, Intercoolers, Boost Controllers, and Turbochargers, the e-manage Ultimate fills the gaps between conventional piggyback and expensive stand-alone engine managements.
All installation and tuning should only be made by a trained technician with proper air/fuel monitoring tools. (Some or all functions may not be compatible with some applications.)

Features
Front Panel
- (Dip) Toggle Switch
- 2 independent setting can now be stored and accessed via the Toggle Switch. 2 separate maps for the Injection Adjustment Map and the Ignition Map. (For Rotary engines, 2 separate Primary and Secondary Injector Maps and Leading & Trailing Ignition Maps.) i.e. one program for street and one for race track.
- Serial port
- External data (like GReddy Warning Meters, and other future optional products) can be monitored and recorded in real time through a data link cable.
- Switch Port
- Data logging and Ignition Cut features can be activated with the use of an optional Remote Switching System and Switching Harness
- Option 1 & Option 2
- An additional Option Connector is added to the previous Pressure Connector. Now any two Options (like GReddy Pressure Sensor, GReddy Temp Sensor, Multi-Switching System, A/F Meter, Auxiliary Switch, Factory Pressure Sensor, or Other Analog Input signal) can be selected using the Option 1 and/or Option 2 ports.
- USB Port
- e-Manage is industry first to adapt the USB communication technology. We have improved communication with ability to use standard USB cables. This improvement also enhances the communication speed for more detailed real time monitoring and data recording.
Rear Panel
- there are now 3 Harness Connectors
- The 18-pin and 12-pin connectors and the signal pins are identical to the previous e-manage system, while a new 14-pin connector was added for new features. Additional Vehicle Specific Plug-in Harness may also be available for certain applications.
Circuit Board
- Many Optional Adapters
- Previously need to be purchased separately, are now built-in. The internal circuit board contains 20 “Jumper Switches†to accommodate (previously separate) features, including:
- Mazda Hotwire Airflow Meter Adapter
- Ignition Signal Adapter Socket
- (Ignition Signal Adapter 1 & 2)
- Parameter Setting
- The biggest change to this system is in the “Parameter Setting†window. With all the added features, the window is now in a tab menu format.
- Speed Limiter Cut Feature
- This feature will eliminate the factory speed limiter. (May not work on some vehicles)
- Throttle Setting
- Any voltage can be inputted directly to set the throttle position.
- Warning Setting
- e-manage Ultimate can illuminate the Active L.E.D. as a warning light for RPM and/or one additional parameter from the menu, by selecting and setting a warning point value (or an unused I/J CH can be used to activate a relay to illuminate an external warning light).
- Ignition Cut Feature
- With the installation of a switch (in the ON position), ignition can be cut at a set RPM point
- Map Trace
- Protect Feature
- Each Map has the option to be password protected
- A/T Shift Compensation Feature
- On vehicles with Automatic Transmissions, ignition timing can be compensated at set shift-up and shift-down points
- Channel Change Feature
- Vehicles with a distributor type ignition system may able to use group fire or individual ignition systems (Replacement parts and modifications to the wire harness is required)Also, Group injection systems may be changed to sequential injection (Modifications to the wire harness is required).
Maps
- Airflow Output Map
- Previously labeled Airflow Adjustment Map is now Airflow Output Map. (#)This can now used to eliminate the factory airflow meter. This is done by directly inputting voltage or frequency in to this map.
- Anti Engine Stall Feature
- The 8 adjustment cells are now upgraded to 16 cells, for even finer adjustment.
- Injection Adjustment Map
- Fuel trimming in the previous system was achieved by adjusting the Airflow Adjustment Map which could also affect the ignition timing. The improved Injection Adjustment Map is used to trim and add fuel directly by controlling the injector signal, therefor it will not affect the ignition timing at all. (However with an internal jumper setting change, the system is still able to trim the fuel by adjusting the airflow signal like the previous unit)
- Acceleration Injection Map
- Like the Injection Adjustment Map, the Acceleration Injection Map can trim fuel by controlling the injector signal. This is used if it is necessary to smooth rapid transitions to wide open throttle.
- Individual Cylinder Injection Adj. & Individual Cylinder Ignition Adj. Maps
- It is possible to correct uneven combustion between cylinders, by fine tuning each individual cylinder for more advanced tuning.
- Vehicle Speed Correction Map
- Inconsistencies due to differences in vehicle speed (difference in load) can be corrected with this map.
- Coolant Temp Correction Map (Must be Selected with Knock Signal 1)
- When the ECU Coolant Temp Calibration does not match the e-manage’s tuning, this map is used to tune the system at various temperature ranges.
- Intake Air Temp Correction Map (Must be Selected with Knock Signal 2)
- When the ECU Intake Air Temp Calibration does not match the e-manage’s tuning, this map is used to tune the system at various temperature ranges. (#)This map is also be used when eliminating the airflow meter on a vehicle equipped with a hotwire type airflow meter.
- Rev Limiter Cut
- For vehicles with a fuel cutting controlled rev limiter, this feature will drive the injectors past the factory rev limiter. *This feature will not work on vehicles with rev limiter controlled by ignition cut.
- A/F Target Value Map (feedback tuning function)
- By inputting target Air Fuel values in this map, e-mange Ultimate will automatically make corrections to the Injection Map, if an A/F meter (*high quality) is connected to the Auxiliary Output signal. This feature can shorten the tuning time.
- Ignition Adjustment Map
- The Ignition Adjustment Map can accurately advance ignition timing by controlling the crank angle / cam angle signal.
- Acceleration Ignition Map
- Ignition timing can also be corrected for a rapid change in the throttle opening rate for a smoother transition into wide open throttle.
- NVCS Control Map
- NVCS (Nissan Valve Control System) can be controlled with out the need for NVCS Adapter 1.
- Analog Output Map
- This feature can be used to eliminate the factory boost cut function on vehicles that are equipped with both an airflow meter and a pressure sensor (i.e.: FC3S, Subaru). Also, on some vehicles, the factory feedback range can be adjusted by outputting a corrected throttle position signal.
- Auxilary Output Map
- The fixed 4x4 map on the previous unit is now a fully adjustable 16x16 map. Set your own "ON" and "OFF" conditions.
- Idle Stabilization Map
- If the factory idle control valve is a solenoid type valve, this map can vary the valve’s duration to adjust the injection rate. (#)This is used when eliminating the airflow meter.
Other Added Features
- RPM Signal Recognition Improved RPM signal.
- If the standard RPM signal wire cannot be used, an RPM signal can be recognized though a crank angle / cam angle signal. With an internal jumper setting, the system can even recognize RPM from the negative signal of the ignition coil.
- Fouled Plug Feature
- When initiated this feature can help clean fouled spark plugs by cutting the injector’s firing at start up. To fix the fouled plug start the engine with wide-open throttle.
Data Log Features
- Data Logging
- Samplings can be recorded at 20msec on up to different 8 channels on the unit itself and over 30 when using the included software. The data can be recorded even when the PC is not connected.
- TEXT File Feature
- The data recorded in the Real Time Display mode can now be save as TEXT file. Organizing the data can simplified by opening the data in Excel and creating a graph.
- Knock Monitor (Future update)
- Knock can be monitored and reviewed.
- Ignition Timing Display (Future update)
- Ignition Timing can be monitored in the Real Time Display mode.
