Instead of looking for why the EMU is crap on WWW try looking for information on why people choose high quality stand alone ECU's. Why would there be much information on a path that most choose to avoid?

The cost of doing things twice hurts but if you have your mind made up then good luck and I hope it works out.

@ Mark thanks a lot! youre post doesn`t say that its waste of time and cash which was spend ^^" if thats so that it will be good but maybe not good enough to tune it to my level so i will try :-)

@ Wolverine i wasn`t looking on the WWW "why is EMU crap" -,-" i`m not that stupid. But i can`t find reasons why to trash it...buying a old standalone like PFC or new other stuff for lot more than twice the price of the EMU is not logical for me when the EMU can reach my goal.

@ Zebra why was it rubbish? what was wrong?

@ Josh it wasn`t handy? thats all? gonna spend a bit time on it to understand it. Can`t be possible that Japanese guys are an other kind of Human and only they can understand EMU XD

i see...nobody can tell me why it`s a stupid piggyback and why and what trouble it makes

i try to search the board again...hope i`ll find some good posts :-/

I would buy a decent standalone.

Having modified Nissans over several years I always wish I had listened to those that were more knowledgeable and bought quality parts in the first place whether it was injectors or ecu's or tyres. It seems like you are saving money but the cost comes when you get a poor result and/or do it all over again.

Everyone here is recommending you ditch the EMU and go a standalone as you will get a better result. Good luck which ever way you go.

Okay so i`ll do it that way...comming year i`ll upgrade to an HKS GT-RS clone the GT2871R (or will be the GT2876R better?) because i have the Turbinehousing from a GT2535R which has the same turbine as GT2871R and GT2876R.

I guess the EMU is fine at this point...or am i still wrong? O.o

and when i finished the Engine i`ll go for the TD06...but with a stand alone then...

Which one is the best and easier to tune? I still wanna use NVCS...i like the character of the RB25det...not much till 4500rpm but above it runs :-) oh reasonably priced of course ^^" is there something with R33 Harness??

seems to be exactly the same position as the oem manifold...

I have used this Chinese manifold and immediately after installation was leaking a lot of air!

 

My mechanic suggested to machine grind the whole surface and now the leak is gone for now ( one day use ) I'm really worried about this now, can you give feedback?

Man resurrection of the thread after 7 years !

Yep your mechanic was right  . . . however I've also used a Chinese manifold in the past and it suffered warping and cracking.

Had it re welded and supporting pins put in from the turbo flange to the head flange for support as the weight of the turbo combined with the heat tends to warp the thin tubing. Then got it machined flat.

Or you can save up your lunch money and buy a high quality exhaust manifold and you wont have to worry about it ever again.

Or just run the one you've got UNTIL you can get a quality manifold

Or . . . . . . Nup I'm done . . . . .

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
