You need the GReddy Emanage software to open it. You also need the same software to load it onto your emanage unit.

Indeed, though you get used to the pain medication after a while...

Well, I just opened that E-MAnage file and there are a BUNCH of weirdnesses.

First, the file gives a strange "error" when it is opened. It reads: "The old format was replaced with new format. The Air Flow/Throttle Adjustment Setting was initialized." I don't know what that means.

Second, they have the VTEC function enabled. Why? I don't know why.

Third, they are using the Nissan Hot-Wire 2 AFM setting for the VG motors. This is rotary switch setting A01. Why they are doing this is strange because the E-Manage now has a setting for the RX-8 (SE3P) AFM.

Fourth, they have one of the A.A.V. values (2000 RPM) tweaked to 20%. This will REALLY screw up the maps.

Fifth, opening and then closing the Airflow Adjustment Map cause and "Input Error".

Sixth, at 9000 RPM and 3.6 PSI of boost, they have an additional injecton value that suddenly plunges to 4 from 43. That would be a real problem.

Seventh, the sub-injector map is only plotted out to 6500 RPM. What happens after that?. Not good.

In conclusion, I believe this map is a fake. It is, at least, completely unuseable.
I wonder why they gave this to you? It might have been made with the newer v. 1.20 of the Support Tool, but this is meant for the new E-Manage "Gold" (v. 1.42) which you do NOT have.

Even so, this would not explain the fact that this map appears to be set up for the 350Z and has dangerous holes in it.

It's really something else isn't it? I had to learn how to drive it all over again.. which I didn't mind one bit!

Two things I'll be doing to my own turbo kit will be to re-fab the Rotary Extreme intake box so I can use it with the GReddy and to re-circulate the BOV. I am also having a custom air filter mount made to use the Blitz SUS filter instead of the GReddy Airinx.

CRH, I don't know if this is a good place to post this, but you have me wondering...

I wonder if Racing Beat will sell their cold air ram duct portion of their upcoming complete intake as a separate piece? JimL at RB said:

"..we have developed a Ram Air Duct that replaces the stock Variable Fresh Air Duct (VFAD) located under the front bumper. Testing has shown an increase in inlet air pressure and a reduction in air temperature that should add a few more horsepower at high speed."

Would this help your customized Rotary Extrem/Blitz setup?

No, because I am still using the stock duct and vacuum valve/solenoid combo. The system flows great and is nice and quiet. I am not really sure if I want to mess with it yet.
