nemesis, just curious to why you would hook an E-01 up to a Canzoomer unit ? The E-01 is supposed to be an E Manage unit & boost controller. So the only thing you would be using it for is as a boost controller ? Why wouldn't you just get the Profec B unit ?

Nemesis8, I have the profec and the install is a usb cable and another single wire, not sure what it does, the unit allows you to have up to 3 seperate maps, you can also use the unit to tune your maps, a/f and timing. its not just a boost controller. the only problem with is trying to find a spot to mount the thing. I have mine to the right of the console, and its not going to stay there, its in the way. the unit is nice for changing maps but not for tuning the RMP scale isn't broad enough. from 3000 to 5400 I'm tuning every 400rpm from 54 to 9000 its every 300. right now I'm tring to "adapt" the incoming cable to to a regular usb plug that I can use with my laptop my attempt so far is unsuccesful. I don't know it the connection is somehow different, but the laptop could "see" the unit but not communicate with it. so atm I'm stuck with either tuning with the EO-1 or disconnecting the cable from the cz and attaching the regular cable, if you have anyquestins on the unit as far as wanting to get it, if your planning to go with a nos system then yes get it. if you want it for the bling, get it, if you want it just to tune, forget it.

If you order the Stage 3 unit from us (Canzoomer) you get a USB male to female 10' cable included (as well as all other cabling you need). You plug that into the CZ unit and it goes to the "Stage 3" module in the cabin. You can then unplug that connection and insert the Canzoomer USB programming cable between the 10' cable and your computer. Note that you should NOT plug your computer USB port directly into the CZ unit. The unit has a USB type plug but it is not a USB function. It is possible it could burn out your computer USB port. You need to use the Canzoomer programming cable or the serial programming cable. We recommend the Canzoomer cable, as it's much less expensive, and makes switching from the Stage 3 module to the computer easy.
The single wire takes the "tach" signal to the Stage 3 module.

OK, that's interesting. I have not given the stage3 module any thought yet. I have the cz installed, and I program it with the custom cz USB cable. I also have a 10' extension USB cable.
So, to move to stage3, all I need is the module, whatever that is, and the signal wire for the tach. Can you tell me how the signal wire works? Where does it land on the car's or module's connections?

I've got a whole thread dedicated to this stuff.
At least I did unless Ryan deleted it like my other E-Manage threads.

The CZ unit has a banana jack on the front. That's the tach output.
The "Stage 3" consists of an interface/control box, a wired remote, and a display screen, as well as a wiring harness to plug into all connections and full instructions on where to connect it. I think those instructions may be here on this site as well. There is a memory card in the side of the screen that, nominally, holds three setups. We ship it with "stage 1" and "stage 2" tuning. You can store and use any other as well as the two we ship it with. It can be modified (by us) for more than three as well.
It is important to remember that as soon as you plug in the Stage 3 module the CZ will be using the program the Stage 3 has loaded. We ship it with the stage 1 program as the default (for safety). You have to keep this in mind. The same holds true when you plug in your computer. The CZ runs whatever "tune state" is loaded into the computer program. That includes the "default" if you don't load a program. This is why you shouldn't rev. the engine until you have a suitable program loaded. Idle is ok. Just don't rev the engine until you have the correct program loaded.
Besides these features, the Stage 3 adds bling, as you have a display screen and can mess with the program "on the fly". The compromise (there are always compromises) is the screen is smaller than your computer. The compromise with the laptop computer is the unit and its' screen has to be firmly held when you are "testing" - by a passenger or some kind of mount.

However, immediately after I was critical of his RX magazine here on the forum, he sent me a nasty e-mail and a bunch of my threads dissapeared - mainly my serious technical threads. None of the mods would own up to it, but Zoom and Polak said they appeared as it I had deleted them, which I hadn't.
I've reposted some of them, but my post count suddenly plunged from 1000 or so to 400. This was quite a while ago.

I was curious as to where exactly you mounted the E-01. Did you use the passenger air bag light port?

Thanks
The only reason I was looking at this option for a NA car, is that I live in the Pacific Northwest, and the weather can change drastically from night to day. Today we are having a 48 degree temperature swing in the South Sound. It was 40+/- this morning, went to 88 and now it’s going back down… I want the ability to change maps based on conditions. But, I am installing the AV-Electronics Nav hack switcher, and will add a car computer to it. I'll just run the USB cable inside the cabin and plug it into the carputer. Then I can run the support tool live, and load all the maps I want to... And watch everything on the Nav screen though the AV-Electronics box.
