Hey guys am looking at getting an engine management system in the next few months but not sure what to get i dont want to have to pay too much as i dont plan on modifying too heavily. my total plans are FMIC, full 3" exhaust, z32 afm, bigger turbo, fuel pump and possibly injectors i was thinking of getting the greddy e-manage ultimate but not sure if this would be good enough any ideas or comments would be great

Find a good tuner, then get the ecu he/she is most comfortable tunning; as this will get you the smoothest and best tune for your car. An ecu is only as good as the tuner. If you buy a Pfc, then ask a Wolf tuner to tune it, he may do an "ok" job, but he wouldn't know all the "in's and outs" to make it a great tune and extract the engine's true potential (and vis-versa; if you were to by a wolf and get a pfc tuner to tune it).

if you dont touch injectors and not a huge turbo (or just use a r33 turbo... will make 260-280rwhp)

you can use a safc?

yeah im thinking of getting a garrett GT2860RS im not sure if that would be too big for the safc

safc is only good for getting the best out of a lightly modded car. the EMU would be up to the job, but, like has been already said, find a tuner you happy with, look at the ecu's they can tune and go from there.

Also depends on your budget. Autronic, Motec and Haltec are good ecu's but in the top end of the prices, any possibly overkill for the rb20 (depending on your future plans) PowerFC are still around for the rb20 second hand. Wolf3D's are a good unit and plug in aswell. EMU is one of the cheaper options and can almost do everything a full aftermarket can do. IMO if there is a good remap tuner around your area then that is the way to go.

thanks for all the info guys ill look into a few tuners and see what they specialise in and go from there

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
