Dude, are you sure he's using the original E-manage BLUE?
Actually, each fella will have their own story... the best bet is to go to the tuner and get feedback from them. It would be better still if the tuner has worked with BEAMS and so on.
Btw, if you happen to be in Menglembu... you might want to check out Raceline (Ah kit). He was the one who told me that E-manage BLUE can be used to control VVT on 20V. And I think he would say that E-manage BLUE can work on your BEAMS as well.
Basically, the E-manage BLUE can be installed on any engine provided the tuner knows how to do it. I also don't understand why one fella said E-manage will reset itself when installed with BEAMS as the E-manage has ROM which will not reset/erase by itself.
Like the 20V, you will need the ignition harness to prevent the BEAMS ECU from retarding ignition as you tune the E-manage. In most modern engines, the ECU will self retard ignition when it feels that the a/f is too lean/rich or when knocking occurs. So, this is where the ignition harness comes into play to cheat the ECU yet again. Besides, more power is only possible with the ignition map and E-manage is basically useless without it!
