Whats The Best Ecu

[sly32]

there are only 2 tuners in aus for hks f-con, as my mate has just got his front cut from jap with a f-con, there is one tuner in WA and one tuner in sydney, so if you live any other state it sucks as im sure these are a well built system, apparently there is a fair few problems with after market comps and them working well on auto's, but i cant reccomend one as i really dont know,

[NWR31]

WTF ?

The emanage blue does a great job for what it is. Have you actually tried one ?

Whack the emanage on, someone who knows what they are doing will be able to get the car running great! With the Auto i would only suggest a emanage for anything thats not totally worked off its head, and even if it is.. go the Ultimate

agreed, i had a emanage blue tuned on my evo 6 & it drove great & made excellent power. little bit more than a evo 6.5/tme with slightly more mods & autronic. both tuned at asg in perth too.

OK, heres just my 2 cents.

You need to ask yourself these 2 Questions!!!

1. What are your power goals (200kw, 250kw, 300kw???)

2. Are you going to mod your car any further in the future?

These come in to factor of which ECU will bring out the full potential from your car and thus presenting you with your respected goals.

So here I say...find out what your typical goal is

Also what comes into perspective are

- Budget

- Reliability of engine ie. 300kw you will be lookin in investing further with your engine eg.bottom end.

So tell us these and i'm sure we could head you into the best direction

Cheers.

hey all just wanna know what the best ecu for a auto r 33 would be as im not too happy with the emanage blue capabilitys for tunning..also how much all up tuned thanks ppl

Give Hanson at XSpeed a call as they have some of the toughest Skylines in WA. His number is 08 9331 8088. He can even supply and fit a F-CON iS or the F-CON V Pro which both have automatic shift control.

I can only contribute to a process of elimination...

I have a HKS F-Con Pro-V but I can't recommend it because the expert tuner from Japan only comes here periodically;

despite it running well. I can't touch it!

Cheers, T

Seeing as you are close to Sydney I suggest you call Jim at Tunehouse. They have been appointed as the HKS Pro Dealer and can tune your F-CON computer. His number is 02 9557 4000.

You can also get this info from www.hks.com.au

powerf fc's become too fidley at high hp/big airflow and 2 blokes i know have gone haltech with massive immediate improvements

both have gone from troubles in the low 400 hp with the power fc to 470hp and 510hp at the wheels with the haltech (510hp with rb25 and 470hp with rb2530 both with gt35r)

[R31Nismoid]

What kinda trouble are they getting?

There are easily 30 cars i can think of here over 350rwkw running PFC's without a problem (nismo AFM's in, off you go), be interesting to hear what the problems are that the people you know are having etc

[shanef]

afr/fuel issues all related to tps/afm issues. basically cars going from std rb25's to big hp setups that encounter the 'usual' issues

all fixed by going to a MAP sensor based ecu

[R31Nismoid]

Cant say i had any problems with my RB25

Could come down the tuner also as with most ECU problems in many ways

[shanef]

tripple posts ashie lol

both cars have been 'home built' and tuned by the 1 tuner (both for the power fc and haltech). both have been tuned by the 1 tuner for max power and both have encountered similar problems with the power fc and both h ve only reached potential with no afm's and a haltech

the 510hp car made 503hp early on with the power fc but later on had mega issues & as explained (in above posts) and was easier to go to a MAP based ecu. and since both cars have had 0 issues, multiple track days and drag days later

lol ye my internet is having a spaz tonight

Im trying to work as well... its just not happening

Maybe is that northern air

keepin it local!!

i do like power fc comments though still undecided

get the vipec from Alistair @ Autoworx and he will arrange lumpy to tune it refer W.A. section about the ecu

i have the first one in the state in my gtr and am really happy with the results

Hi Terry, sydneykid tells me that he knows a guy who is currently being trained to tune the F-Con Pro-V and he will be local too. If you check with sydneykid he can give you the exact details.

Interesting - do tell more!

SydneyKid - Care to elaborate on this?

Why wont people understand that it all comes down to the tuner??? "Oh i just put a microtech in my car and it runs shit" its not the god damn computers fault the computer only does what its told to do! And the person who tells it what to do is the tuner!

[H@ME]

thanks for that imput i understand that the ecu is only as good as the tuner just wondered what would be my best option for the modifications i have. i am looking around for a power fc atm. as i understand they are reasonably cheap, reliable and easy to tune and would support my modifications, hame

[allblitz]

Power FC is fine, my car has had no issues handling it at 800hp. No drama's at all.

[Bond]

In the market myself. Have been looking around and can pick up a power fc for around $1200 on here second hand. I have decided to get the new Vipec installed as its only a few hundred $$ more brand new and apparently has some good features.

[H@ME]

Vipec eh? what are some of the features it has to offer? Hame.
