Hello, i have a r33 gtst with a few mods and are chasing around 250rwkw (or more) and have most of the supporting mods.

bigger turbo, frontmount, full exhaust, 040 pump, ebc, safc, (bigger injectors coming soon)

I realise that my safc will only be able to run a failry safe 200rwkw, and need to know wat i should get that is able to run this power.

Also say i dont get a stand alone computer will it be able to get rid of the fuel cut and boost cut?

another question is there any way of getting rid of these cuts using the standard computer?

power fc is not that cheap for a rb25 and im not that keen on getting it tuned ect. so any feedback on how e-manage systems work or other management which are good for wat im chasing is appreciated.

cheers

I've got an Adaptronic running on mine, havent had a problem with it. Its and excellent ECU runs MAP and very tunable and great milage.

www.adaptronic.com.au

Great thing is there so cheap you can pick one up for $990 and $70 for the 2mtr loom. Also they do a plug in loom for the r33 rb25det

With any aftermarket ecu you will need to get it tuned to get the benifts of it.

Cheers

I like the autronics, but then again im anti airflow meter :), and they're not cheap, but the bennifs they have over other stand alone computers is worth the price, i like to have my car running as smooth as it would do with a standard comp tho, haltecs are pretty good as well from what ive heard but then again they're not the cheapest solution.

For what you want you're looking at spending a bit of money for a decent piggyback (i.e. $800 for e-manage) and several hundred for a good tune.

Go for one of the better computers, stand alone or piggyback, is my opinion.

Wolf also has a good reputation like the other guys have said.

Its all good and well all the posts in this thread so far.

But he said he cant even afford a PFC @ approx $1400 give or take. So that basically counts ALL the other options bar piggy-backs like

e-manage

S-AFC

etc etc

A remap *might* fit under but im not entirely sure on pricing these days.

So in relation to the above two options, for 250rwkw+ i really think your going to need more than a $600 interceptor style ECU.

You really cant get any ECU in/tuned for less than $1600 these days, so if you dont have that much to spend on decent management, then dont chase the power.

Point taken, guess i will sell my safc and start saving.

cheers

Good idea save for pfc or something simular and you wont regret it. Stuff like safc with mild mods are of for peak power but the real difference is in the midrange power and torque that you will get from a better stand alone unit like a pfc. I sold my safc and bought a pfc and car drives like a dream.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
