Engine Management Choices?

[SL1D1N]

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

Wolf 3d V4 or V500

A few v4's come up second hand in the for sale section.

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.

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.

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.
