Hey guys,

Ok I just wrote a Essay and the stupid I.E shut down so here I go again;

Ive got a R34 GTT with the following:

Trust HG FMIC

SBC I.D 3 - Running 10psi - gain 7-8

Safc Neo

Full exhaust, split dump, high flow catco, 3.5inch catback and 4" cannon.

CAI with apexi Pod

Greddy Coilovers type S and sways

Now the thing is really built for tight cornering, hard acceleration and Red light launching. My tune all changed that, its spring was cut down after its tune, more top end less accleration ;) pitty really cause thats what I like.

Now I figure ive got a few options,

Get the Safc re-tuned as it has been tuned in easy mode and the $200 I spent on it being tuned was not worth it, Use pro mode and its 500rpm intervals to give it abit more edge down low? I feel the safc changes are effecting the timing and without a sitc to change ignition im not going to achive the accleration I want.

Hook up a nice EMU like the Greddy Emanage and milk out the right tune with optional ignition and injector lead all for the same price as a new safc neo. Which may I add I might have for sale soon. depending on what people advise.

Buy a powerfc and go all out, main reason this appeals to me is the knock is shown onscreen and I know im not blowing up my engine. The shit side is that its so expensive and I also dont have a need or want at this period in time to bolt on a bullshit turbo setup.

Now to those who had the emu hooked up, how much did it set you back for install and tune? and also to a power fc guys how much am I looking at for a tune?

And what do people think I should do to get that, V-TEC YO! feel?

Thanks in advance :wave:

Nathaniel, I'm not sure what your question was so :domokun:

Your future choice of management depends on what your doing with the car in the future (surprise surprise)

If the cars almost how you like it, power wise, then use a cheaper, limited option; piggy back, eManage and try and get some of that "spring back" you talk of.

If u know you want to really fly, then clearly get PFC, Haltech, Autronic plug in.

Generally, tidy up tune is $200 - $400, and a full tune $500 - $1000.

Call local tuners for solid pricing.

PMSL.

When I went from standard management up to the power fc it made a huge difference to the feel of the engine, way more responsive and faster at a lower boost pressure.

I would recommend getting one of these as they are great bits of kit. Then get a HKS turbo for even more grin factor!

    • 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.
