Quite simple question: E-manage Blue vs VVL: yay or nay?
Is the E-Manage Blue suitable for switching VVL, because it does says so for VTEC?

Yes.

But as i said, you should buy just cheaper Nistune and be fine.

Emanage + expensive VE daughterboard.. thats like 2-3x more than Nistune.

If you're using it solely for switching the cams, you're better off using a window switch, or a GReddy MSS.

Obviously he would be using it to tune + switch cams.

If still havent bought anything, then yes better save for the Nistune (not that is that cheap anyway, including board, install, cable and software); if already got the emanage, well use it, it will work.

What ecu are you using, if it has the parameters such as required rpm, no speed cut, and you have the greddy then fine you can use the greddy to switch to hi-cam, if you dont then just invest in the nistune and rpm switch

He has a modded VE ECU.

meaning the stock ve ecu has been modded?

if so then the car has been wired to activate lift @ the stock points? then yes the greddy blue is sufficient to tune and reset the hi- cam activation point.

Yeah, his ECU went to a guy in Greece. Don't know if they fiddled with the RPM activation points.

Emanage Blue is a waste of time on a SR20ve ecu. If you have a Sr20de ecu, get it chipped (if you dont already have one) and use one of these to activate cams:

Greddy MSS
Granatelli Switch
MSD Window Switch
Vtec Controller

I have been there, done that with Greddy Emanage Blue and Stock VE ecu.

It seems the 20ve ecu learns the emanage settings after a time.

I remember my car running very rich to the point where it stalls and I didnt trouble the tune or did any mods. Had to re-tune the car. Also lost 3 distributors using the Greddy Blue

Peace

his is 20ve ecu has been modded, then cant he just burn some chips or something for it set for different cam switch points?
