If you got the cash, go standalone ECU. DEFINETELY! You pay for what you get. Piggyback still only minpulates sensor signals, ie. MAF, MAP, crank angle sensor. Standalone ECU fully control ignition dwell time and injector duty cycles. As such, i suspect the problem with S14 series 2, S15 and ECR33 series 2, having coils blow up, is eManage dosen't control ignition dwell time for transistorized ignition coils. HKS FCONV runs semi piggyback, as the standard ECU dosen't control ignition control or injectors. Same can be done for Motec or Autronic, piggyback on standard ECU, which controls aircon and idle control. But in all respect, i've seen piggyback ECU pull some serious horsepower. Just how it's setup, and cost (is it worth it?).

Dr Drift is right, eManage is much better than SAFC. What's more the ignition control gives the car that much better throttle response and the ability to retard the ignition with higher boost pressures. Using the Z32 airflow meter gives you a much better resolution, especially at higher boost levels as the airflow meter max's out. Mtam22, using the TRUST 3 bar MAP sensor would give the user the ability to MAP out anything above 1.3 bar, however, the std ECU would throw out a check code. This could technically be compensated by clamping the MAP input to not max 1.3bar, which only leaves you to figure out how to control the fuel. I believe this may work, as I've tried it on a turbo civic, running 0.85bar boost (std max's at 0.7). I used a large fuel pump to overfuel the car, place a clamp on the MAP sensor so it dosen't see past 0.7bar. The TRUST 3 bar MAP sensor still measures the correct boost, as it is independent from the std MAP. At increasing RPM above 0.7bar, I fuelled up additional injectors. Works a treat, can't see why it wouldn't work on the Supra using MAP sensor. Furthermore, I suppose you wouldn't need to use the additional injectors, provided you got adequate fuel or larger inj. But think 1.3bar is quite a bit for a std Supra.

i am interested. sent you a PM.

how much do you want for the porer Fc dude?

not at the moment dude. check out the Autometer website. www.autometer.com cheers.

bretto. chk your pm.

yup, still for sale dude. sorry very bz at work.

what offset were they? wat size tyres do they have on?

there is bound to be some over boost. 0.02 of a bar is nothing. i don think tt you can set the boost below the factory actuator level dude. hope tt everything turns out well for you. cheers

dude. did u do the gear judge settings??

anybody wanting to sell an Apexi AVCR boost controller pls email me at [email protected] would prefer if you wrer in melb cheers.

still for sale?

have you sold the AVCR yet? r u in melb dude?

they only came out in a 2 1/16" still in excellent condition.

haven't got any pics at yet. willing to meet up and show you the meter. email me at [email protected]. cheers, Gav...

maybe i should look around and gather more information before deciding. thanks for that dude. so did your friend take it somewhere else after that to get it tuned? let me know. thanks again.

BMT? have they been around long? i live in preston. maybe i will pay them a visit before deciding. i have a couple of mates that have been to technik tuning and have only good things to say.

has he done many nissans?

hey there people, juz got my car back from the panel shop and looking at getting someone reliable to dyno it. i got a R33 GTR running a power FC. i have heard of Dean from Technik Tuning and was wandering if anyone has had him tune their car before. how did it go?
