Hi!

I want to some road tuning on my engine, no dynos here. I'm in China now.

I want to get some sort of engine management to work with. I got rb20det from hcr32.

Of course the ideal path would be the one thats got datalog functions and its easy to tune, adjust one the way.

Until now I was thinking:

1)EMU ~usd 480

2)Innovative LM1 or LC1 ~usd199-349

3)A/F harness ???

4)Pressure sensor/Harness ???

5)Plug and play harness ~usd87

Total estimate:

roughly usd800 without a/f and pressure sensors or harness and with LC1.

And PFC:

1)Bnr32 power fc+ controller ~ usd790.

2)Innovative LM1 or LC1 ~usd199-349

3)FC datalogit ? USD 395.00 with usd

Total estimate~ 1384

What I wanted to know if what setup would you prefer ? Or easier to use ?

I guess Power FC without datalogit is harder to tune than the E-manage.

What setup would you choose ?

Thanks !

EMU would be by far the cheaper option, also easier to tune and easier to get a hold of. Being in china you should be able to get a hold of some very cheap form of fuel/ignition computer, maybe a rip off the PFC. You still haven't said what mods you have on the car so it's really hard to say... Turbo? injectors? etc.

Nah, they don't have any engine management here, and its a good thing I must tell you. Intercoolers is onething, ecu is completely different. A lot more to get wrong than producing intercoolers.

I got rb20det, 444cc gtr inj, bosch 040, fmic, 3 inch zorst, rb25 turbo. I would like to try kkr430 or t3/t4 turbo later. So I'm looking for an engine management for that.

Thanks for the feedback!

i think AP engineering have a harness for the r32 gtr PFC to work on a gtst.

it comes down to where you are and how comfortable tuners around you are with tuning either unit. i know in sydney there is really only 1 tuner for the emanage and thats CRD. i havent heard anything good about anyone else.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
