So to see it back many years later turbo charged put a nice smile on my face as I always like to do something different with an edge of the unknown.

This is one I’ve known for a while and had previously the pleasure of tuning the engine in its original NA form. The Greddy E-manage is a simple fuel computer designed for Japanese automobiles.Well it’s not often one gets to see in the UK an old skool Toyota Levin 1.6litre 4A-GE engine from a AE111 Toyota Levin (Corolla Coupe FWD), let alone a turbo’d version.

The intended purpose is to allow the user to fine-tune the fuel curve of the vehicle to take advantage of various modifications to the car. There are many additional options for the E-manage, allowing the user to put together a system that suits their needs. In its most basic form, the E-manage alters the primary airflow input to the car's ECU. By increasing or decreasing this signal, the ECU will alter the amount of fuel going into the engine. While the E-manage is very powerful and flexible, a full stand-alone ECU is even more powerful. A stand-alone ECU replaces the entire fuel injection system with one that's designed to be easily programmable by a laptop computer. This gives the ultimate in flexibilty, but with a steep learning curve and a LOT of work required to tune in the fuel map properly. It's hard to say at what point it's wiser to go with a stand-alone than a piggyback computer (ie the E-manage) – it really depends on how good the car's ECU is to begin with, the amount of modifications, etc. Purchasing an E-manage and E-manage options If nothing else, the E-manage makes for a great stepping stone before going to a full stand-alone – you can learn to tune the car while having the factory fuel map to fall back on. There are a number of components to the E-manage system. Let's break each one down.Į-manage main unit – the main brain of the whole deal. The unit by itself is VERY basic – there are 5 knobs you can adjust on the front of the unit to do a VERY rough fuel map with.Į-manage Support Tool – Now we're getting somewhere. Included in the kit is a serial to USB cable and a CD with the Support Tool software. The cable is proprietary, and not a standard cable. The software unlocks the full potential of the E-manage – 16x16 fuel maps, changing airflow meters, using the other optional harnesses, etc. You really need to have the Support Tool for the E-manage to be of any value. NOTE: This serial to USB cable is a special cable of some kind – it doesn't seem to have any advanced logic, but it is weird and special enough that you can't just get one at a computer store. It plugs into your computer via the serial port and into the E-manage with a USB plug. Optional Injection Harness – This splices into the stock fuel injectors for control and logging.
