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

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.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
