Hey guys, i know the ECU debate has been discussed over and over and an ECU will only be as good as the tuner, however i have not found any info on the EMS 8860 in regards to the R33 RB25DET.

Here are my options with some prices that my tuner has advised (order of preference)

Haltech E11v2 - $2800 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

EMS 8860 - $2200 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

EMS Stinger 4 - $1800 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

Apexi PFC - $1700 + $350 Z32 AFM = $2050 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

Any info or comments will be appreciated

Regards,

Sarkis

Can you find me a new PFC with h/c for $1000? and Z32 for $200?

the quote i got:

PFC: $1200 (new)

Tune: $500

AFM: $350 (new)

One workshop quoted me $1000 but ex h/c

If you can please let me know and ill buy it today...

Any feedback on the EMS? they seem to be good

Cheers

Nengun dont sell the PFC for the R33 GTSt anymore... they have been discontinued

The Wolf V500 retails for $1,895.00 excluding harnes and tune

Wouldn't the Haltech be a better choice at that price?

ok sorry those prices i qouted were second hand here. theres nothing at all wrong with second hand power fcs and same with the z32 afm. but with the afm check ebay you can get new ones on there pretty cheap i think.

Yea Paul but thats too much stuffing around for me... i'd prefer to get the whole lot installed and tuned professionally... $1800 for an EMS stinger fully fitted and tuned sounds like the way to go...

Cheers

i know what i would do if it was my money

how many people can tune the EMS?

what features does it have?

map?

afm?

closed loop feedback?

what is the base map like?

does it have any form of hand control / user input/output device or is it software only?

is it a sequential ignition driver or batch fire?

wire in or plug n play?

I think that is cheap for supplied fitted and tuned. EMS are about the only computers I have heard more bad stories than good about tho.

Also, if you are going the Stinger option, its not really the best way to go, as it only has 4 injector drivers. I assume they will set it up the same way they setup Microtech LT8's for 6cyls.

It can be done, but its not the ECU meant for that application.

If you are comparing those prices, a microtech LT8 installed and tuned would be even cheaper.

Either way, I'd go for an ECU that is meant to run 6cyls.

What about the EMS 8860? it has 8 ignition drivers.... but for $2200... would rather spend bit more and get the Haltech... Buy if i can find a good buy for a PFC for GTST i would grab it...

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
