If any1 can help......

Have an r33 that has previously had an EMS 8860 wired up to it......but the computer itself is missing and the wiring is still there.....

My question for everyone is would it be better for me to buy a PFC and install that (dont know to what extent i have to chage it back to standard wiring....as i dont know if ems uses full loom) from nengun there about $1k~ or buy the ems unit and plug it straight in ($1.5k~).

If it wil only cost a few hundred to put the pcf in thats what ill do as im a bit worried if i get pulled over and have the ems. cos if i do cop a epa then thats a hassle wiring it back to standard as opposed to tthe plug and play pfc.

:P ...Jim

ahh gotta hate theives ;) damn bastards sorry to hear.. were you still running a AFM with the EMS? if so would be easier to go back to power fc.. how ever if you werent it'd be a bit more than just 1k if you were running map thru the ems to go back to pfc with afm and shit unless you get the djetro model or so.. either way your choice

ye was running afm.....so what u think it would cost to go back to a pfc...(not including the pfc itself)

Sorry not enough information to give a good answer. Is the standard harness cut? Is the standard ECU plug still there? Does it have a wally adaptor that goes from the standard plug to the EMS plug? Have you tried plugging in a standard ECU? ;)

had a good look today......

The standard ECU Plug is still there...... but just before it (the auto elects...or whoever done it) tapped into the wires just before the plug and connected the ems plug.....

So it all seems to be connected but they have cut into it and added the ems loom......

Looking good as the standard loom is still there.....

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
