Hi all,

Im getting my r34 gt-t shortly and have future plans for it. My aim is to get around 350kw at the wheels.

Anyway i have already purchased an emanage with software, harnesses etc and im wondering if the emanage is going to do the job and get the results i want. If not ill just have to sell it and get a wolf or PFC

Thanks

Brendan

If you wany around 350kw .... well dont buy anything now.. get a GTR or put RB26 on it,,, or else u going to pay $$$$$ for it.. trust me...

with all your part below

Parts|- *Greddy*: Full Auto TT + Profec B Spec II + Emanage. *Hybrid*: FMIC. *Apexi*: Power Intake Pod Filter + EL Meter Series2 Boost Guage + N1 Exhaust System. *GFB*: Hybrid BOV. *Sparco*: Accessories. *Whiteline*: Rear Subframe Align Kit.

max u will get is around 250kw max

i believe the emanage will hack it but the issue is do u know people that can tune it well??? that is the main problem with some ecus some people cant tune them, i say talk to some preformance shops or dyno tuners etc...see what they have to say. Also good info can be found in the HPI DVD's And HPI Magazines one thier r34 gtt project...unless u have seen them already, they have some good info and came close to your goal of 300rwkw.

Well im planning to do all this over the next yr. My original plans were to only slightly modify it but now i have a better income they changed :rofl:

Im going work out exactly much money ill have over the next year and how im going to spend it.

I was thinking along the lines of a HKS GT3040 as i will eventually get around to getting forged internals.

My car should arrive sometime next month so while i have time on my hands i want to start planning.

No, the E-manage will not hack it.

For the HP you are chasing you will need bigger capacity injectors. E-manage doesn't support this. For what you want, Power FC, Microtech or Wolf are popular choices. Piggybacks & sensor benders rely on the factory ECU which has limitations. A fully programmable standalone is what you need.

Your budget is very optimistic.

that ecu will cost you say minimum $1200 (used price)

Tuning & AFM/MAP sensor $600

Injectors say $1200-2000+ if you're lucky enough to find bigass injectors to suit the Neo (R33 RB25 injectors are different and far more common)

Brakes & supension will need upgrading to make it tractable at that sort of power. $2000+

Fuel pump of course $300

Forged & balanced internals + gaskets/bearings etc. if you expect it to last beyond a week $2000+

A Twin plate clutch $1200 (used price).

Labour (unless you can do it all yourself) $2000+

There's 10 large - before you have a turbo, manifold, wastegate, front exhaust section & new undies.

you CAN get a complete RB26 for $6000. The GT-t gearbox has the same tough internals as the GTR. ECU's are cheap as. I would recommend consulting a specialist workshop & telling them exactly how you wish to use the vehicle. circuit/drag/motorkhana/street/or a bit of any or all.

You'll still need to budget for suspension & braking mods of course, and you'll want to rebuild the turbos with inconel wheels (a la nismo) but a lot less dicking around altogether,

& you might be able to afford those new undies...

mmmkay ??

The E-manage does enable you to use higher flowing injectors. Up to 150% of original injector capacity stated by GReddy but in reality they do support larger than that limit.

For the money the E-manage is a great bit of kit and very easy to program.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
