Greedy E-manage Vs Apexi Pwr Fc

Recommended Posts

Ive yet to hear a good think about the e-manage. The FC is without a doubt the most commonly used, widely supported and easiest to tune of ALL ecu's for the skyline. Add the FC Edit system and its amongst the best for attaining a drivable street tune, economy and power.

Also depends on your location, as i am in Far North QLD there is no one who can tune Emanage's at all, Power FC tuners are everywhere. Besides you can pick up a 2nd hand FC for under 1k so why not get one

That entirely depends on the car you have ... the last remaining batches of R34 PFCs were bought up by a few greedy retailers it seems who've been price gouging everyone ... asking up to $2400 for a PFC, which is ridiculous. I'd rather get a brand new Vipec plugin for less than $2k than a PFC, tbh.

Its true the pfc is the most widely tuned ecu's and people can push huge hp figures out of them; im using one now in my gtr and its been hassle free (except for cold start and hot start issues)

the hand controller is an added bonus too to constantly check your temps and knocks

that new vipec ecu looks great and i wouldnt hesitate going for one of those if i didnt already have the fc.

access autoworks, a sponser on here, is the sole apex'i distributor for aus, from what they told me when i was there, and people buy from them, so best bet for a good deal is to speak to them

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
