OK, with the Greddy E-manage now on the market looks like the Power FC has a bit of competition but I want to know which is the better of the two disregarding price range. What are the Pro's and Con's of each unit? From what I can gather tuners like the E-mannage because of it's easy tunning but what else is there? There has to be more to it.

Power Fc is a stand alone computer, e-manage is only a piggy back.

power FC disable the speed limit but e-manage don't.

e-manage only control the fuel inject but not the igition time(opition, need to pay for extra), power FC done both.

therefore, power FC has wider range of tuning ability but u pay for more.

personal i will go for e-manage coz it a bit more than 1/2 of power Fc price but does things close to power FC.

also, when i change my car, i can take the e-manage with me.

copy from ed -

emanage = Apexi S-AFC???

The closest competition to the E-manage is the Apexi Super-AFC. The Super-AFC is a very nice and powerful unit, and they both have their advantages and disadvantages. The E-manage is far more capable, but does require a laptop (or the E-01 boost controller) to program. The Super-AFC is simpler, but is self-contained – you program it right on the unit's display. The Super-AFC doesn't handle larger injectors as easily as the E-manage, doesn't control additional injectors, doesn't do ignition timing, and doesn't have datalogging (though it does do some MAP tracing on the screen, but they can't be saved and are tricky to interpret). It's still a great computer, though. The E-manage is really the next step up.

Adzmax - If you go for the PowerFC then here are a few things to think about

1) The GTT uses a different version of the Hand Controller (N001) than any other Skyline (X001) which means that most tuners can only map it with the H/C and NOT a laptop (for better mapping the laptop is essential as if opens more options and displays more stuff)

2) The only company who can produce a GTT adaptor and software is FC-Datalogic but they need a GTT PowerFC to work with 1st as they haven't done one before.

I've just found all this out after buying my stuff, which I now can't use properly.

Quite a few people have said that but NO ONE has said what other options there were, seems like no one wants to say!? What's the deal, do you know IanH?

well ive got a e-manage on the way...with some reading i found the e-manage the way to go...

1...u can take it with u when u sell the car..

2...it can work with auto trans..

3...it does wot the pfc can do..

4...cheaper...

5..i got a loptop for it..

6..i got the e-01 ebc...

7..and the S-afc has nothing on the e-manage..that y im getting rid of the S-afc..

yes ur engine management system is only as good as the tuner...

and in japan they have cars with huge power and running the e-manage

$3500 in container fees to ship your car to and from Japan.

~$AU600 to tune it (labor fees are alot more there than here).

Nice tune. Sure it wouldn't be cheaper to get a PowerFC in the long run?

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
