With my experience I would not use Emange........PFC is a much better option.

why?

I was speaking to a tuner about the emanage. He sung nothing but praises for it. He is running ~400kw at the treads in his GTR using an Emanage. Did a swap on his brother's S15 for shits and giggles. It picked up an extra 25kw over the haltech that was in it. Can run both MAP and AFM. I think you are only limited with injector sizes on the emanage. Im not sure how big it will let you go, i didn't ask for specific info.

why?

there is nothing wrong with it.

however witht he PFC

u can control timing and other bits on the fly

its generally easier to install and revert to stock if u ask why just look at its size.

you get some good read outs which are useful.

More tuners are used to using the PFC

shall I go on?

Things will slowly change. The FC has dominated for a long time.

At the end of the day tunners that wont touch anything other than Power FC's will be missing out on a lot of business.

Be it the emanage, haltech, autronic or heaven forbid the microguess tunning options are changing.

I agree on the whole hand controller thing but seriously people overrate it. Besides the knock read out (which you only look at if you dont trust your tunner really) all the other info is usless or readily available via guages.

Emanage is now also plug and play.

If its tunned right you shouldnt need to touch it on the fly and via toggle switch the emanage can revert to a 2nd map which could be tunned for low RON fuel if you wanted to

Everything has pro's and con's End of the day depends what the owner/tunner agree to use. FC will be popular forever and Ill always use/recommend them but there are other options that are just as good.

I have installed and used an emanage. It yielded similar results.

I enjoy the features of the PFC so I installed that, wont look back.

I had a bit of a hard time installing the emanage, ended up under my seat. Might have plug and play cables but its not plug and play unit as its still a piggyback device.

The Ultimate has the toggle switch, not the std blue version.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
