Need Advice: Power Fc Or Emu ?

[robots]

Hi!

I want to some road tuning on my engine, no dynos here. I'm in China now.

I want to get some sort of engine management to work with. I got rb20det from hcr32.

Of course the ideal path would be the one thats got datalog functions and its easy to tune, adjust one the way.

Until now I was thinking:

1)EMU ~usd 480

2)Innovative LM1 or LC1 ~usd199-349

3)A/F harness ???

4)Pressure sensor/Harness ???

5)Plug and play harness ~usd87

Total estimate:

roughly usd800 without a/f and pressure sensors or harness and with LC1.

And PFC:

1)Bnr32 power fc+ controller ~ usd790.

2)Innovative LM1 or LC1 ~usd199-349

3)FC datalogit ? USD 395.00 with usd

Total estimate~ 1384

What I wanted to know if what setup would you prefer ? Or easier to use ?

I guess Power FC without datalogit is harder to tune than the E-manage.

What setup would you choose ?

Thanks !

I don't think that BNR32 PFC is going to work with the RB20. It was made for a RB26.

Any PFC for a RB20 is going to cost at least roughly $1500-$1700 just for the unit.

EMU would be by far the cheaper option, also easier to tune and easier to get a hold of. Being in china you should be able to get a hold of some very cheap form of fuel/ignition computer, maybe a rip off the PFC. You still haven't said what mods you have on the car so it's really hard to say... Turbo? injectors? etc.

Nah, they don't have any engine management here, and its a good thing I must tell you. Intercoolers is onething, ecu is completely different. A lot more to get wrong than producing intercoolers.

I got rb20det, 444cc gtr inj, bosch 040, fmic, 3 inch zorst, rb25 turbo. I would like to try kkr430 or t3/t4 turbo later. So I'm looking for an engine management for that.

Thanks for the feedback!

i think AP engineering have a harness for the r32 gtr PFC to work on a gtst.

it comes down to where you are and how comfortable tuners around you are with tuning either unit. i know in sydney there is really only 1 tuner for the emanage and thats CRD. i havent heard anything good about anyone else.

have a read of the powerfc faq in my signature

it comes the powerfc to some other other more common ecu's on the market, might be worth a read

I've read it mate. I asked the question right after I read your faq I mean dollar for dollar what is a better choice ?
