Ems Ecu's

[SkyDragon]

Anyone had any experiences with these ecu's particularly in R33 gtst's? I am looking at an aftermarket standalone ecu, these seem to look good on paper and are a good price for what you get, but i do not know anyone with one.

Can someone give me some feedback?

There well supported but a tad basic for street R33(Stinger version) and waste spark etc.You would need the top model to do it right so best to look for a plugin like PFC or Wolf etc. You need Idle speed,VVT,, boost, Aircon request,and closed loop minimum for a nice road car, Stinger uses it outputs for tacho,fuel pump control etc leaving you short on outputs.Ive seen fuel pumps hard wired cause theres no outputs left so if going EMS look for their topend model,and as your saying the price is cheap i think your talking Stinger.The real upside it EMS are fantastic ppl to deal with.

Thanks NIB. I think in the end I may go Wolf, just a shame the dashes are not availble until they find another supplier. IMO PFC's are not really a good choice considering what they are and feature for the prices people are asking, you need to run Z32's with them which is an additional cost and nothings guaranteed because its all 2nd hand now. In comparision (for cost) there are many better choices, the only thing they have going for them is the support for tuning.

Anyway my intake/turbo setup is..

HKS GT2530

SARD BOV

3" Turbo back exhaust (inc stainless steel dump/front)

Hi flo cat

Pod

With an ECU i suppose i should get around 300rwhp?

Wolf support network is quite big in WA now,Checkout the website for a list.

stinger is a great little ecu for a basic setup converting a car on a carby to an efi setup.

For a nissan it's not a good move.

so the new wolf ecu is good?the old version had a lot of problems,hope they have sorted them out,

especally the cold starts,also how they go on a auto 33,with a highflow turbo?

will be putting one of these in my 32 very soon spoke to a mechanic who tunes these all day everyday he was telling me he tuned a 32 rb20 only mods he had was pod filter after market intercooler and 3'' cat back exhaust and the thing pulled 197rwks on 10psi will let yas know what mine pulls out when i get it done

Older version with the V400 Firmware update is a good thing and we still do lots of them.

Autos no problem.

I find that very hard to believe.. must have been a very generous dyno..

[SkyDragon]

Hmmmm.. Anyone got a Wolf V500 (or 400) for sale?

Will need a good Turbo for that.

how come??

my car has made over 400 hp@ 27psi on NIB's dyno with the stinger. stock internaled rb20...

my best mate converted a series2 rb25 into his r32 with gt30 and stinger and that made close on 400 aswell

there an awesome bang for buck ecu, u dont need to wire it up as a standalone it can be pickybacked aswell meaning you keep a few outputs.

they have just realesed a whole new range aswell which would be worth looking into

I like the stinger myself , I had one not long ago running a turbo efi converted A14 in a datsun 1200 ute.

Power numbers themselves aren't a measure of how good an ecu is, the setup is a complete pain in the ass compared to things on the market that have plug in abillity to suit the RB nissans. But If you like mucking around then why not?

hows the fuel ecconomy on yours?

[Dsturbd]

Have the EMS 8860 in a r31 with 25 neo .. cold start isnt a issue

We also went full wire up as we wanted all new loom n plugs as the 34 loom wasnt the best , like most of them these days

yeah true i can understand the wiring up as being an issue to some, but it made life a hell of alot easier to me (managed to ditch most of it from the exhaust side)

agreed on the power thing but 27psi on the internal map sensor... no need to upgrade to bigger sensor unlike some of the more expensive ecu's on the market.

fuel ecconomy is like any hard tuned car,I see 350km to a tank with light driving and with full throttle hill runs type driving (on off on off) ive seen up to 400 a tank

[craked]

im an ems dealer from nsw the stringer will work just prefect. any info just pm me

[kingscorp]

Why buy a wire in ECU when there are plug and play ECU's out there?

[Sammie]

I use ems stinger with the following mods

r33 gtst

gt30 int

740cc injectors

bosch fuel pump

fmic

pod

exhaust

bout 380hp 18psi, 350hp 15 psi

tuned by mick at ovaboost

You must be kidding. Is that even possible with such mods? I find it hard to believe man. As bubba said, must be a very generous dyno.
