How come noone seems to rate the Greddy EMU as an alternative to the PFC? I know it is still a Piggy Back Computer but I have had one for around 12 months and am really happy with it (Bought it back when PFC's were very scarce and VERY expensive!)and last time I checked which was a while ago they were a little cheaper than a PFC

Is there something I dont know about the EMU??

Had it installed by Jim at CRD and he seems to rate them just as high as a PFC

Sorry for the thread jump

it depends on your aims.... i have a power fc in my street car (300rwkw) and couldn't do without it...

i'm building up a ke70 drift pig with an SR20 and will probably just go with a safc for $$$ sake... the car is getting stripped and should weigh 900kgs give or take so i dont need massive power... 180rwkw (using my old 33 turbo) or so is the same power to weight as around 270rwkw in a full weight 33gtst.

the ke70 will be a rough car though... and if i get real shitty with the lack of timing i might buy a 2nd hand SITC in the future...

just to show an example of how its not always needed...

The money you spend on a SAFC you could get a toshi/doctor drift remap of your std ecu and do so much more with it, its not a pfc, but its way better than a SAFC.

So bang for bucks as a first step is rechip imo.

read this and other threads like it:

This is what i wanted to do. But i would much prefer a Toshi remap with the road tune he does. I was a bit wary of just telling him my mods list and getting a re-map. He was asking for the temps i get over in NZ etc. He even said it would need to be dyno'd and touched up as required anyway. So theres more cost for that option :stupid:

If he flew over however.. :)

I would lean towards a full ecu if possible.

Im in a similar boat. My turbo is on its way out and have eyed up a larger turbo which ill be getting very soon. I bought a BRAND new SAFC Neo for peanuts(mates rates). However im contemplating whether to have it tuned or sell it, put the money aside, save up for a Link G4 and get it tuned once and for all.

Like everyone said tho, if you have a stock turbo you could do with a safc, however, when you do get 200rwkw, i bet you my bottom dollar that you WILL want more, and then you will realise "Doh, iv hit a brick wall". I know its hard, but you will end up saving money in the long run.

Just my 2c.

    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
    • Hence why I said earlier that I don't think the turbo Neos ever would have actually qualified as an LEV. I suspect the only actual LEVs that came out of Nissan were the NA Neos. Still call them all Neos. They all stil have the Neo-ness. Just that they don't all qualify as as LEVs.
    • It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car
