I searched and couldn't find a direct answer to my question(s). Im talking about an RB25DET NEO... :

What would you recommend, a stand alone engine management system, or a piggy-back system ? Looking at around 250rwkw on a SAFE tune. Which EMS would be better ? Maybe be pushing to crack 300-350 eventually, but not TOO MUCH more then that.

And the other question is, which models would you recommend in your choice above ?

I heard that the E-Manage can fry the coils on the NEOs ? Anything else like this that i should know about when moving on from a stock ecu ?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

KISIN.

if your chasing 300kw toward the end you might aswell go standalone. depending on how much money you actually want to spend will determine what sort of ecu you will be looking at? what sort of coin are you looking at spending? under $1000 look towards going power fc under 2000 motec

Well I'm planing on building a second engine so i wont need to get it done in a hurry in order to have my car on the road. Which means i can take my time, and I'm willing to spend extra cash on something that will benefit me in the long run.

Get an HKS F-CON V Pro; you won't go back to anything else... and HKS99 does not know what he's talking about; you don't need standalone ECUs for big power... the world's fastest GTRs (top 10); 6 of them are all running this ECU.

yeah depending where you are located.. you try putting a HKS F-CON V PRO in try getting it tuned in Gold Coast or Brisbane!

thus why i listed a power fc as there is never a shortage of tuners avaliable.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
