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...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
