Piggy-back Vs Stand Alone

I searched and couldn't find a direct answer to my question(s). Im talking about an RB25DET NEO... :

What would you recommend, a stand alone engine management system, or a piggy-back system ? Looking at around 250rwkw on a SAFE tune. Which EMS would be better ? Maybe be pushing to crack 300-350 eventually, but not TOO MUCH more then that.

And the other question is, which models would you recommend in your choice above ?

I heard that the E-Manage can fry the coils on the NEOs ? Anything else like this that i should know about when moving on from a stock ecu ?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

KISIN.

if your chasing 300kw toward the end you might aswell go standalone. depending on how much money you actually want to spend will determine what sort of ecu you will be looking at? what sort of coin are you looking at spending? under $1000 look towards going power fc under 2000 motec

Well I'm planing on building a second engine so i wont need to get it done in a hurry in order to have my car on the road. Which means i can take my time, and I'm willing to spend extra cash on something that will benefit me in the long run.

Get an HKS F-CON V Pro; you won't go back to anything else... and HKS99 does not know what he's talking about; you don't need standalone ECUs for big power... the world's fastest GTRs (top 10); 6 of them are all running this ECU.

yeah depending where you are located.. you try putting a HKS F-CON V PRO in try getting it tuned in Gold Coast or Brisbane!

thus why i listed a power fc as there is never a shortage of tuners avaliable.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
