 B asic Operation without Support Tool Software
Without the Supp ort tool soft ware, you can onl y make adjustments using the rotary dials on the front of
the unit. These dials do not need to be adj usted i f using the Supp ort Tool Software. The same
adjustments can be made using Maps in the Support Tool Software.

1. AAV (Airfl ow Adjustment Vol ume) Setti ng

Used to adj ust air flow meter si gnal using
5 rotary di als on the front of t he unit. The
rotary di als make adj ustments at set
increments of 1000 RPMs, with Dial 1 set
at 2000 RPM and di al 5 set at 6000 RPM.
Each di al can adj ust air flow vol ume b y +/-
20%. Turning the dial clockwise will
increase t he air fl ow met er signal (richen)
and turning the dial count er-clockwise will
decrease the air flow meter signal (lean
out).

16
2. VPV (VTEC Point Volume) Setting
This rot ar y di al is used to adjust the VTEC change over point. The VTEC poi nt can be adjusted
up to +/- 1000 RPM in 100RPM increments.

3. VAAV (VTEC Airflow Adjustment Volume) Setting

This rot ar y di al is used to adjust air flow meter voltage only when the VPV Setting is active.
When VTEC is activated at a different time from the factory setting, an i ncrease in air flow volume
will cause the need to make fuel adjustments. This setting will allow you to make the air flow
meter adjustment onl y when t he VPV is acti vated to comp ensate for the increase of air fl ow.

B asic Operation with Support Tool Softwa re
● Connecting the Unit to a Laptop Computer
◎ Requires the use of the Support Tool Software.
The Support Tool Software includes the installation CD and a serial-USB cable.
※If your laptop does not come with a 9-pin serial port, it is possible to use a PDA adapter to
allow communication through your USB port. Make sure your PDA Adapter COM port
settings match the COM port settings in the Software. (Device Manager Setting)

Support Tool Serial Cable PDA Adapter

※ The Support Tool will not communicate with the e-manage unit if only a standard USB
cable is used. The serial cable must be used in order to communicate.

※The latest versions of the Support Tool Software and e-manage firmware is 1.49. If your
versions are older than this, please download the update from our website.

18
● Air Flow Adjustment (16X16 MAP)
The ECU determines how much fuel to deliver and where to set the ignition timing by monitoring
the air flow meter or pressure. The e-manage/e-manage Ultimate will intercept the air flow meter
signal and output a different signal to the ECU to cause the ECU to lean or richen the fuel mixture
and advance/retard ignition timing.
※ Some ECU types may not react properly with the air flow adjustment.
※ Generally, adding numbers from the air flow adjustment will retard ignition timing.
※ Generally, subtracting numbers from the air flow adjustment will advance ignition timing.
※ For turbo cars with N/A ECUs and cars with factory boost cuts, the air flow adjustment will not
be able to adjust above the boost cut value/CEL value.

● Air Flow Meter Change Method

Since different air flow meters will measure air flow volume at different voltage rates, the vehicle
will not operate properly just by changing the air flow meter. With this function, the
e-manage/e-manage Ultimate unit has measured values for air flow volume versus air flow voltage
from both air flow meters. With the same air flow volume, the two units will have different
voltage readings. The e-manage/e-manage Ultimate unit will calculate the air flow volume from
the new sensor and convert it back to what the stock air flow meter would have read if it was
measuring the exact same air flow volume.

New Voltge Curve

Stock Voltage Curve

IN Voltage OUT Voltage

※ Since the ECU has a limit as to how much voltage will be measured from the air flow meter,
the Injector and Ignition maps will need to be adjusted when the air flow meter is maxed.

19
● Injector Change Scale
When upgrading to larger injectors, the stock injector duration will be too large for the upgraded
injectors. To trim the ECU injector pulse, the e-manage will trim the air flow meter voltage
according the size difference of the stock and upgraded injector.
※ Since the injector change scale may affect the air flow meter voltage substantially, it is possible
the ignition timing may be advanced. It may be necessary to adjust timing with the IG maps.
※ Depending on the ECU, the injector scale may not operate properly.
※ If the upgraded injector is too large, it may cause problems and the engine may not operate
properly.

● Additional Injection MAP (16X16)

The e-manage/e-manage Ultimate units will monitor the injectors closing point. To add fuel, the
unit will extend the injector pulse width by keeping the injector open longer (than factory setting).
The e-manage can only add fuel with the Additional Injection Map. .

● Sub Injector MAP (16X16)

This map is used to control up to two sub injectors simultaneously. The sub injector will open at
every other ignition pulse signal. If it is a single sub injector on a four cylinder, it will spray fuel
two times every cycle. If two sub injectors are on a four cylinder motor, each injector will spray
once every cycle

◎Advancing Timing
The e-manage/e-manage Ultimate unit can advance ignition timing by creating an ignition pulse
signal before the ECU signal is received. The moment the ignition pulse is created by the
e-manage will be determined by map value and predicted time of ECU Ignition pulse input.

※ Advancing ignition timing may not operate properly on some vehicles.

● Auxiliary (VTEC/NVCS) Output MAP (4X4)

This Map is used to adjust the VTEC or NVCS activation points. Make adjustments by
changing the RPM and load values at which you would like the solenoids to be activated and
de-activated. For NVCS, the NVCS Adapter is required because of the difference in
activation signals. Airflow adjustment values can be set as well to change the airflow signal
when the auxiliary output signal is different from the Input signal (VTEC only). Since NVCS
has no input channel, the airflow adjustment will be activated the whole time the solenoid is
active. This Map can be used as an auxiliary switch well. The yellow wire can be used as a
12V switch for relays or adapters.

21
 ● Anti-Stall Setting MAP (8X2)
This MAP is used for vehicles that have engine stall problems due to turbo compressor surge.
When the throttle is let off and compressed air is pushed back out through the air flor meter, it
will causeh heavy air flow meter signal oscillation. Since the air flow meter signal is not
accurate, the ECU will not be able to deliver the proper amount of fuel, which will then cause
the engine to stall.
This MAP can be activated by Throttle Position (When TPS % is lower than specificied).
Once activated, the e-manage will output a pre-programmed airflow meter signal.

● Boost Limiter Cut Setting (16X2)

This Map is used to clamp the Airflow Output Channel at the desired voltage or frequency.
Most vehicles are equipped with boost limiter or throw a CEL when air flow volume reaches a
certain point, so it is necessary to prevent the ECU from seeing that amount in order to increase
boost or horsepower. Maximum Output Channel Voltage can be set at 16 RPM points.
※Vehicles that have both airflow meter and pressure sensor will most likely monitor the
pressure sensor to activate the factory boost limiter (Subaru and Mazda).

● Acceleration Adjustment Map (16X2)
This Map is used to increase injector pulse width depending on the throttle acceleration. The
stock ECU may not compensate for quick changes in throttle position and may cause the motor
to run lean under heavy shifting or quick throttle movements. This Map will enable you to
add fuel under these conditions, for a limited amount of time. The Gain setting will control
how long the acceleration adjustment will be effective. Whatever number is set for the Gain
setting will determine the increments in which the additional fuel will decrease per injector
pulse.

For instance, if the gain is set at 1 and the acceleration map value is 40, the e-manage will add
40% injector pulse width and decrease it by 1% every time an injector fires. It will continue
decreasing by 1% until it reaches 0, which will take 40 injector pulses. If the gain is set at 0.5
percent, it will take 80 pulses for it to reach 0.

※ When this Map is active, it will add the map value to the injector adjustment map value to
create a total additional injection percentage value until the acceleration map value decreases
back to 0 percent.
