Just a few questions

Isthe emanage worth keeping? i still havent been on a dyno tune yet so im running stock boost etc

With the below mods should i upgrade to a standalone or should i keep the emanage and live with it???

Ive read through the sticky on emanage above but their are no concrete answers on whether theirs any point in having one vs standalone

I only want to achieve around the 230rwkw...i realise i have to upgrade fuel pump and AFM and maybe injectors

Should i get rid of it and just save up for a standalone?

Also if i do get rid of it, can i run more boost and achieve around 200rwkw mark with no piggy back ecu???

How long does it take to remove the emanage, and how much should labor cost for this procedure

Thanks in advance for any replys :)

If you already have a z32 afm installed then you'll have to swap it back to standard.

For removal if you have both looms installed and they have used plugs on the afm signal and ignition wires then you could get it out in under an hour. Just remove the ignition loom wires one colour (emanage loom uses one colout with white/black stripe for in/out) at a time and re connect the ecu wires to each other, the other wires are spliced intothe loom so you can just cut them off neatly and tape up any exposed cores.

I'd recommend keeping it atm and see what it can do. It wont have a prob with the power figures you are looking for as it won't really have to mess with the factory maps much to acheive those numbers. Plus you can easily change the base settings to compensate for the afm and bigger injectors without messing with the tuning maps.

You misunderstand.

I only say you have to swap afms back if you remove the emanage to return the management to stock as the stock ecu will not be calibrated to suit the z32 afm.

The emanage has a function that allows you to swap afms and then just update a single pull down menu to suit the change.

If you pull the emanage out then the car won't run right with the z32 afm until you swap to a tuneable ecu.

Keep the emanage and afm is my recommendation, even if you only use the basic functions of the emangae to take some excess fuel out at the top end it will be doing more for you than the stock ecu will by itself.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.

      Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.

      It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
