hey so like ive said before im only after 200rwkw and have the usual mods of cai,zorst,fmic and boostcontroller and am now after a piggyback comp. Ive been looking at SAFC and Greddy Emanage but what do u guys think is best suited for my application. i did a search feature and found a few things on comps but am jsut after the pro's and cons of the various types of piggy back comps available. im leaning more towards safcII...

cheers

Daniel

ive got an safc2 in my auto. i got 191rwkw on similar mods. i was a bit strapped for cash at the time and ended up paying 400 brand new + 200 for the tune.

for an extra $300 you can get a PFC (unless you get the safc 2nd hand) but the tune will cost around $500.

the safc2 only plays with your AF's whereas you could always add more components to an e-manage to make it almost like a stand alone ecu if you want to go for bigger power later on.

PFC seems to be the best value for money though.

do you know if you can add an ebc to the emanage? reason for this is that the manual one i got is a pain in the ass i got to keep pullin over to get it to the right boost lvl i want. Also like i said before man i wasnt looking for anything over 200rwkw mainly caus i wanna keep it a daily driver n i think more then 200 would kill me in petrol as i clock up about 550ks p/w :S

But then again i could have an ebc and a safcII as well huh ? ive got about a 600 to play with and with that i want to stretch it out to an ebc and piggy back :S so second hand is my option here (it sux being at uni and trying to have a nice car)

ps sorry about my spelling im sadly part of the msn generation

well in my situation, I didn't even need an aftermarket to get to 200kw, with the split dump high flow cat and exhaust with a slight increase in the boost to 10psi, I got 199.8rwkw without even touching the computer. The Safc2 got me an extra 12kw and safer air flow.

well 200rwkw was the idea and well since ive got these few mods i havent had the car tuned at all so thats why iw as thinkin abotu the piggy back systems as these would be more than enough for the power figure i was looking at. so yeh the question was can u add an ebc to emanage or would u better of buyin a safc and a seperate ebc ? whats the better option

okey doke so should i get things done in this order? Get the bigger turbo (r33 or r34), then an ebc and then ecu remap ? oh and by the way do u know roughly how much labour would cost to mount the different turbo...

being an r32, to get to 200kw is going to take more than just the mods you have an a piggyback or remap. you are going to need a bigger turbo to get to that sort of figure, and possibly fuel pump. it would be a good idea to stick it on the dyno and see what it does have, then you will have an idea of hom much work it will take to get to 200kw.

yeh i thought about that too. I rang up and spoke to someone at RE Customs was a great help reckons with the rb25 turbo and a ecu remap id be sitting at either jsut 200kw or just a little under with a bit more boost that is. So what i may do is ring him up and go for a dyno run sometime next week if i have time and get an idea of what more needs to be done. Ill keep you guys posten on what developes of this with a chart n that. thanks for ya help

You can add an EBC to the Emanage, I have an AVC-R and an Emanage and haven't had any issues with either of them. GReddy have the PRofec boost controller as well which lets you program the Emanage, but after you add the cost of this on plus all the other pits and pieces you'd be better off getting a Power FC (if you can) or the remap.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
