Hi guys i have a decision to make about engine management, do i go for the cheaper emanage or fork out 1500 for a pfc?

My mods are

R34 GT-T

Hks front pipe and Hks dump into high flow cat and Trust PE 2.

Hks type S FMIC.

Hks Gtrs kit.

Tomei fuel pump.

Nismo panel air filter.

C's short shifter.

Greddy Profec 2 ebc.

Splitfire coil packs.

And these are soon to be installed once i can figure out which computer suits my needs.

Nismo 480cc injectors.

Nismo FPR.

Z32 airflow meter.

What would you do?

Save yourself some money and get the emanage($800)...... or bite the bullet and get the Pfc ($1500)?

Im really torn as to wich way to go. The car will be a daily driver hopefully making around the 250 rwkw mark. Some trackday useage.

I suppose i can afford the pfc but having spent crazey amounts of money already on aftermarket parts,

im thinking carefully about what will achieve the best result for my setup.

Thanks for your input :laugh:

The car has had most of these upgrades done quite recently and is currently untuned. I have read alot about the emanage on these forums and would take it to creatd, if i was going the emanage option. however im open to suggestion.

if you can find a tuner which will tune the Emanage Ulimate go for that. it has alot more features over the pfc. It also has the function to be updated at a later date so if greddy updates the software you can just go download it from the net and connect the emanage by usb to your pc and update it.

pfc is base ecu which was good bang for bucks but now Apexi has stop producing some model the price makes it no longer fall into that category of "bang for bucks"

Thanks for the input Michael. Yes there are several tuners in melbourne capable of tuning the ultimate well. I suppose that the ultimate is my best option really in the scale of things. Pfc's have become very dear due to scarcity, and the ultimate is newer technology. this update feature was something i was not aware of.

Thanks again, Looking straight at the ultimate now.

Still any other input will be interesting. :laugh:

Tend to basically agree with what has been said. More or less the PFC's greatest advantage was its ease of use coupled with its reasonable price.

Now that the prices have gone up, other options have become more reasonable comparatively.

If you have a tuner that is happy and confident with tuning an emanage ultimate, I think it would be a very strong option :)

Microtech ! $1500 from race pace (SAU Sponser). You can justify the $1500 price tag by knowing that your saving $300 by not needing that Z32. Im certain there would be some good tuners in melbourne who work with microtechs

My previous car was an rx7 running a 12 turbo efi setup.

I used a microtech lt4 as fuel management and the car never really ran well. was tuned by maztech made 184 rwhp, but used to idle all over the place and never idle in warmer weather. Proply caused by the fact it was running primary 870cc injectors only. However this has tarnished my view of their products.

I have bought the emanage now so thanks for all the input guys.

Much appreciated

:happy:

thats nice but i aim to make 300kw atw. with 550cc injectors and turbo and q32/q45 afm. will the emanage still do this. and if so do u have any links of facts to back it up? might be easier for a pfc to do it

cheers

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
