Ok guys its a pretty simple question but after searching couldnt really get an answer.

All i want to know is will the AFC neo support 250rwkw along with all the other necessary mods?

Or is it necessary to use an EMU or other....

250rwkw is my goal over the next few years so want something that will support it from the beginning.

Thanks guys!

Won't 'support' very well at all.

Power FC is your answer in the Apexi range of products.

End of story. :P

The engine management system is what controls how much fuel and air goes into the engine. Get it wrong, and stuff breaks. Expensive stuff. $1500 is a relatively small price to pay for good economy, emissions, power and reliability.

What other systems would you consider aside from a PowerFC?

Don't forget to factor in the cost of tuning. The PowerFC is a very well known computer, so programming it won't cost as much as more esoteric hardware. If you retune after every powertrain mod (which you should technically do) then the lower cost of tuning will put the PFC cheaper when you're talking Total Cost of Ownership.

Unless someone has a reason why the pfc is $700 better than the EMU?

It has a funky looking hand controller? :(

i had in my 33 a safc2 and emanage (not at the same time), and before i got rid of it i tested a power fc out in my car for a mate who bought 1 for his build, was already tuned for similar mods to my car, and it shat all over both the previous systems i had.

i got a 34 now and i wont be getting anything other than a pfc.

also 1500 is if u want a new 1, u can get 1 for a rb25det for about 900-1000 second hand no hand controller. u dont need the controller to tune as tuners just plug in a lap top or if u do it.

my 2 cents

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
