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?

    • 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)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
