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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
