hi im looing at getting rid of my SAFC2 and upgrading to either of the above... what u guys recommend ? the current mods i haev and the mods im pretty sure im sticjking with.. dont think ill get anew turbo or larger injectors but *may* but i doubt it get them in the future.... so future expansion isnt a realy requirement just wanna get the most out of what i have.. currently have 182.7rwkw as dynoed a week ago with the following

R33 GTST (95 mtype)

stock EVERYTHING except:

full exhaust including high flow cat

pod filter mounted outside engine bay

FMIC (large one :O)

bleed valve at 10psi (holds very strongly for a bleed valve)

SAFC2

NGK platinum sparkies gapped to ~0.8mm

thermo fan that replaced stock clutch fan (16cm) set to ALWAYS be on

so yer what do you guys think is a better option

emanage with e-01 boost control (i also have a laptop)

or a powerfc with hand and boost controllers ? the powerfc with everything is only ~$400 more than the emanage and e-01 so i dont really care if the powerfc is better the 400 is easily justifiable... and vice versa

where to get the choice i go for tuned etc ? was thinking ice performance coz i got dynoed there and they seemed to be switched on.. unlike some other places that remain unamed have proven to be these past few months.... hehe

so yer after reading my essay please help in my choice :D:D:D cheers guys

also is it ok to block my stock BOV to getthe kool flutter noise ? or is an aftermarket BOV a better way to go for cool noises as im sick o the whoosh the stock BOV gives its just so weak lol

Out of the two, i would definately go the power fc. A much better, proven, combination.

If your reeeeally want the cop seeking attention go the atmospheric BOV. If you want to damage your turbo keep the BOV blocked and have the "cooool" fluttering noise (lol).

Otherwise be smart and stick to the plumb-back system :D.

Is the e-manager a replacement ecu or a piggy-back?

Also:

Is it a direct plug-in?

Does it have the same tunning resolutions as a pfc?

Any modifications required to adapt it to you car?

Does it have the same features as a pfc? (Do you need the extra features that the pfc may offer?)

I don't know much about the e-manager, but these are the things to consider when justifing the $400 differance.

AI,

It is like a piggy back but, different. The wire in is easy and the injector harness ect. is dead simple.

Tuning resolution wise it has enough load points and then some for street use.

No mods required to adapt to car.

It has a few more features than the pfc when coupled with the E-01.

The emanage system has been used very successfuly on many a very fast vehicle. Having said that there are a few areas where Trust have had to re-develop. One area is the automatic trans nissans.

Look like the people in the know are the best to listen to, so go the e-manager :D

But i still stress, that you MUST unblock your BOV! I personally think that you mechanics advise/reasoning is dead wrong!! What do you say rev210?

yes it is unblocked at the moment and im going to keep it that way.. but my next question is if i get an aftermarket BOV... do i then disable/block my stock one ? or alwayskeep that untouched and addon my atmospheric BOV ad tune the emanage so that i dont get stalling ?

Your aftermarket BOV will replace your stock BOV. If you really must run a aftermarket BOV, i would recommend the GFB stealth. You can have them fully venting, or plumback @ the flick of a switch.

I wouldnt bother personaly, keep the stockie. You get enough attention from the cops just driving a import, dont give them another reason to pull you over.

There are a few different adjustable BOV's out there.. I think an adjustable one is the best option if you must have a BOV.

And a p plater at that :) I give him less than 2 months soon as he sticks one on.

I'd lean towards the PFC still.

Agreed that the e-manage is a good unit and has proven good results, but so has the PFC. And it really comes down to the tune.

I just like the idea of a full ECU swap, instead of something that wires into the stock ECU and fiddles with the inputs to the stock ECU.

And if you get the E-01 (for the display) your up for another $700 or what ever they are.

Good luck with what ever you get, I'm sure either of them will give you good results over the stock crappy ECU.

go PFC with hand controller (i got 1 sitting in my room) coz so much easier to install and u can monitor everything with the hand controller.

Also with the cop and epa situation these days if they pull your kick panel off they there is loom of wire that has been spliced into with a piggy back system u will get done, with the pfc they wont notice. Also the first thing they check now when they open your engine bay is the operation of the afm, e-manager has a map sensor doesent it?? u will get done again.

Hahahahahaha!!

With that HUGE intercooler and the server mods to your front bar, i think stealth is out the door.

Car looks bloody great, thou i would definitely not call it stealth.

That gfb BOV, looks like a load of crap. Once the cops open the hood and see that trumpet, they will give you a canary. Same principal as a removable silencer in the mufler.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
