I've installed and tuned an emanage on my old rb20 and my current rb25. There's nothing wrong with them. If you are comparing to other piggy backs then the $100 premium for an emanage over an safc is easily justified.

Also consider auto owners who cant use a pfc (unless piggy backed, oh the irony), CA and RB20 owners who will have a 900 dollar extra cost to go from an safc/emanage to a pfc and it's not such a bad thing.

The pfc is better. You will get no arguement from me. I run one now. I would never go back to an emanage as i found it's limits and what i consider to be it's biggest flaw, which is no correction for injector lag. Change to a sard injector on an rb25 with an emanage and you just can't make it work correctly. That was my motivation to upgrade, and considering an rb25 pfc is more reasonably priced than the rb20 one i originally looked at, i thought it was an acceptable price to pay for the added benefit of a full stand alone ecu.

But prior to the injector swap it was quite happy to let me run a z32 afm, i could get fairly flat 12 afr's on wide open throttle and it wasn't a pig to drive. I probably wouldn't have swapped it if i didn't run into the injector issue.

Shit canning the emanage doesn't help anyone. Pointing out where it fails so people can make an educated decision about which way to go is a different thing.

amen. i also found the powerfc much better during gear changes, it felt heaps smoother. but thats probably due to the extra ign timing and tune more than ecu change itself.

heaps better than what mate?

you havn't been able to justify your reasons for sh1t canning the emanage, how are you able to compare if you haven't used both of them?

you are just going on assumptions! don't be fooled into thinking an emanage is less programmable than a full replacement ecu, compared with a powerfc you can do pretty much all the same stuff.

emange gets a bum wrap around here for nothing.

sure it isnt no power fc, but for alot of ppl who arent going all out and dont intend on ever doing so it is perfectly fine for them.

and is much cheaper than a pfc, especially for rb20 ppl.

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!

      If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....

      Beauty, thanks guys, got some ideas now. I note that none of you agreed with the flap disc so that's good to know. 👌🏻

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      I had small pin holes in my glazing putty but didn't want to put more putty to not make a mess again and I put 2 coats of epoxy primer to prevent it from rust. Though you can only see the pin holes if your eyes are almost against the panel. Do you think when the 3x coats of high fill 2k primer and 2 base coats go on that it will be visible?
