Need Help: Engine Management

[atticus]

being farely new to the skyline scene, or perfomance in general, im in need of some advice.

Im planning on doing an upgrade to r33 t. So far im looking at;

- Nismo Fuel Pump

- Sard Fuel Regulator Type-R

- Sard Fuel Injectors 550cc

this stuff im pretty sure i want and am going to get. the problem is the engine management.

I dont know squat about it, and im happy to admit that. Everyone seems to have an Apexi PowerFC. But now i read the thread at the top of this page and see the Greddy E-management.

My questions are these;

* Am i missing anything for this upgrade (fuel wise)

* and which is a better computer for my needs, either out of the two mentioned or if there is something better i've overlooked completely.

If anyone can shed some light on my situation it would be greatly appreciated.

What do you have already?

Don't forget your turbo.

[Blade]

1./ Full 3" exhaust

2./ Intake

3./ Bigger Turbo

4./ FMIC

5./ EBC

6./ Fuel Pump

7./ Injectors

8./ Cams

Have any of the above? What power are you after..

if you dont have a turbo dont bother with injectors or a reg. you dont need them

As for a Nismo pump... a Bosch unit can do the same job at a cheaper price im sure

buy all parts at once (includin turbo) and do the mods at one time, saves retune after retune costs.

At the moment ive got 3" turbo back, HKS Pod and Intercooler. Standard Turbo.

Im looking at nengun for the parts mentioned. anywhere else to look? nengun dont have bosch.

If i do get a bigger turbo, the injectors and reg. will be needed though, right?

[R31Nismoid]

austalia has bosch mate.

thats local stuff.

Yeah, injectors'reg will be needed. But as i said.

No point doing them till needed as its only added retune costs.

stay away from 550sard's. get the 700cc nismo ($50-$80 extra from memory) they are a strainght fit and cause less problems cause of it

My suggestions. as always, is to first work out what it is that you want to do with the car, then how much power you need to achieve that result, then get an appreciation as to how much that is going to cost.

An example, if 200 rwkw will achieve what you want, then you don't need any of the stuff you have listed, and $3K should get you there. If its 400 rwkw then $10K won't be enough.

So what is it that you want to achieve?

PS; an EManage is a piggy back solution, it is NOT comparable with a Power FC which is a full computer. The Power FC will always be superior in a manual application. For autos, an SAFC is a lot cheaper than an Emanage for similar results.
