Chasing Advice... Engine Management

[Drift Empress]

Hi all..

I have a Silvia S13 with RB25det, fully forged internals and loads of other mods, just waiting for bigger turbo and aftermarket computer... this is where you come in? Hopefully? I am looking at either a GT2871R or GT35R (depending on money factor) and have been recommended various computers for this. Now if I had the money, it would be no question I would get a motec, but as it is the funds are tight and Im thinking of either an Apexi Power FC or (as numerous people have recommended) a Wolf... So here's the question... which is better or any other suggestions??? Thanks in advance

Choice of ECU has been covered plenty of times, try searching.

Usually its best to decide on a tuner and ask them

Power FC is very common on skylines tuning on 98 octane fuel...it works with great results. If your using E85 or something then you need to re-consider a lot of things

I don't think anyone out there uses regular unleaded on these engines do they??? Always run 98 otherwise you're asking for serious trouble.

Run a Vi-PEC far superior than both the ECU's you mentioned....see Guilt-Toy's thread about his...he used to be a Power FC man through and through...now he has a Vi-PEC he will never go back to an old technology Apexi unit.

They are just as good as a MoTeC without the massive pricetag.
