Hey Guys,

I am looking at getting an emanage in a couple of days but just before i went ahead and bought it i have a question. From what ive read the power fc allows for the car to run efficiently when cruizing returning very good economy. Does the emanage have this capability or will a good power tune make the car considerably more inefficient compared to similiar tune with a powerfc.

I realise that the powerfc has more capabilites and is tunable however im only after around 200rwkw, so an emanage can achieve those results powerwise. But am more concerned with how this will efect my fuel consumption.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel, power wise you may get a little more out of the Power FC for not much more cost. Fuel economy wise there is no comparison, the Power FC is miles ahead. This is due to its ability to tune functions that a piggy back simply can not access, such as the lambda aim table, fuel shut off on overrun and acceleration enrichment. Plus there is more load point flexibility in the areas of partial throttle openings.

What does it mean? Well based on my experiences with the Stagea (tuned with piggy backs) and the R33GTST (tuned via a PFC) it’s around 2.0 to 2.5 litres per 100 k’s. That’s saves me a $1K a year in fuel, so it’s worth it.

:laugh: cheers :)

Thankyou for your help sydneykid im prepared to pay the extra money if that was the case for the powerfc. It will quickly pay for itself considering the fuel savings. Is there or will there be any more group buys for the fc on here?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
