Hi guys i have a decision to make about engine management, do i go for the cheaper emanage or fork out 1500 for a pfc?

My mods are

R34 GT-T

Hks front pipe and Hks dump into high flow cat and Trust PE 2.

Hks type S FMIC.

Hks Gtrs kit.

Tomei fuel pump.

Nismo panel air filter.

C's short shifter.

Greddy Profec 2 ebc.

Splitfire coil packs.

And these are soon to be installed once i can figure out which computer suits my needs.

Nismo 480cc injectors.

Nismo FPR.

Z32 airflow meter.

What would you do?

Save yourself some money and get the emanage($800)...... or bite the bullet and get the Pfc ($1500)?

Im really torn as to wich way to go. The car will be a daily driver hopefully making around the 250 rwkw mark. Some trackday useage.

I suppose i can afford the pfc but having spent crazey amounts of money already on aftermarket parts,

im thinking carefully about what will achieve the best result for my setup.

Thanks for your input :laugh:

The car has had most of these upgrades done quite recently and is currently untuned. I have read alot about the emanage on these forums and would take it to creatd, if i was going the emanage option. however im open to suggestion.

if you can find a tuner which will tune the Emanage Ulimate go for that. it has alot more features over the pfc. It also has the function to be updated at a later date so if greddy updates the software you can just go download it from the net and connect the emanage by usb to your pc and update it.

pfc is base ecu which was good bang for bucks but now Apexi has stop producing some model the price makes it no longer fall into that category of "bang for bucks"

Thanks for the input Michael. Yes there are several tuners in melbourne capable of tuning the ultimate well. I suppose that the ultimate is my best option really in the scale of things. Pfc's have become very dear due to scarcity, and the ultimate is newer technology. this update feature was something i was not aware of.

Thanks again, Looking straight at the ultimate now.

Still any other input will be interesting. :laugh:

Tend to basically agree with what has been said. More or less the PFC's greatest advantage was its ease of use coupled with its reasonable price.

Now that the prices have gone up, other options have become more reasonable comparatively.

If you have a tuner that is happy and confident with tuning an emanage ultimate, I think it would be a very strong option :)

Microtech ! $1500 from race pace (SAU Sponser). You can justify the $1500 price tag by knowing that your saving $300 by not needing that Z32. Im certain there would be some good tuners in melbourne who work with microtechs

My previous car was an rx7 running a 12 turbo efi setup.

I used a microtech lt4 as fuel management and the car never really ran well. was tuned by maztech made 184 rwhp, but used to idle all over the place and never idle in warmer weather. Proply caused by the fact it was running primary 870cc injectors only. However this has tarnished my view of their products.

I have bought the emanage now so thanks for all the input guys.

Much appreciated

:happy:

thats nice but i aim to make 300kw atw. with 550cc injectors and turbo and q32/q45 afm. will the emanage still do this. and if so do u have any links of facts to back it up? might be easier for a pfc to do it

cheers

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
