Emanage Vs Stand Alone And Fuel Consumption

[fEkuaR]

Hey Guys,

I am looking at getting an emanage in a couple of days but just before i went ahead and bought it i have a question. From what ive read the power fc allows for the car to run efficiently when cruizing returning very good economy. Does the emanage have this capability or will a good power tune make the car considerably more inefficient compared to similiar tune with a powerfc.

I realise that the powerfc has more capabilites and is tunable however im only after around 200rwkw, so an emanage can achieve those results powerwise. But am more concerned with how this will efect my fuel consumption.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel, power wise you may get a little more out of the Power FC for not much more cost. Fuel economy wise there is no comparison, the Power FC is miles ahead. This is due to its ability to tune functions that a piggy back simply can not access, such as the lambda aim table, fuel shut off on overrun and acceleration enrichment. Plus there is more load point flexibility in the areas of partial throttle openings.

What does it mean? Well based on my experiences with the Stagea (tuned with piggy backs) and the R33GTST (tuned via a PFC) it’s around 2.0 to 2.5 litres per 100 k’s. That’s saves me a $1K a year in fuel, so it’s worth it.

cheers

Thankyou for your help sydneykid im prepared to pay the extra money if that was the case for the powerfc. It will quickly pay for itself considering the fuel savings. Is there or will there be any more group buys for the fc on here?

dont get an "e-damage" there not to crash hot. well from all the tuners ive spoken to anyway.

it doesnt really mater. anything that doesnt use a closed loop 02 sensor as a input will drink fuel
