Hi guys, just a short list of what the PFC can do that the E-manage can not..........

injection base map

injection correction map

ignition base map

ignition correction map

boost control

turbo transition

idle control

air con idle correction

power steer idle control

rev limit adjustment

injector warning

knock warning

O2 feedback

water temp correction

air temp correction

acceleration injection

cold start correction

fuel temperature correction

AFM voltage ramp correction

radiator fan control

battery voltage correction

injector size correction

injector overlap

speed limit defeat

overboost defeat

There are quite a few more, but I think I have made the point.

Hey all, if you have the e-manage with the injector and ignition harness, does the e-manage do everything that the pFC does?

Cos bottom line u want to have similar functionality for both of the units before u can really do a comparison.

If a base e-manage can only do fuel timings then it is very limited compared to the pFC. Is that correct?

I just looked up the other E-manage thread and saw they are $900-$1200 :confused: Why so much for something that's only marginally better than the S-AFC? Yes it has more potential, but at $900-$1200 you've already paid for a PowerFC which has a lot more stuff in it. I was thinking (hoping) that the E-manage was closer to $400 or $500, which is a more realistic price given its abilities.

Who sells them for $600? And the only reason I would consider getting one is because with my upcoming injector upgrade, it'd handle them better than my S-AFC if I get the injector harness. But how much is the injector harness? How much are the other optional bits?

And why is it heaps better than the S-AFC anyway? The biggest thing going for it that I can see is the extra plugins you can get, but they all cost money. I'm talking about just the base unit here when compared with S-AFC. I know that with all the extra bits it would crap all over the S-AFC, but I reckon it'd cost more than a PowerFC once you bought them all.

OK ,,,, may be over here are slow in jap ecu... but from where i come from that is malaysia... alot of my firend and work shop ask me to stay away form emange. Now all of them are selling it off cheap... some of them blow up their engine.

It is dirt cheap over there... the last thing i hear is... it is below 500 aust if you look around there....

I live in Japan and I see alot more cars with Apexi S-AFCs and PFCs. I've only seen a handful of greddy emanages in cars. By they way some of the GTRs with the Apexi S-AFC are putting out over 600hp. I only see PFCs when the power is approaching 1000hp. That's just what I've noticed.

u can get it from nengun with ignition and injector harnesses for about $608.....i think

calvintys..even a safc can blow the motor if not tuned rite..

if ur going to get a base unit get the safc....

if u r going to upgrade slowly get the emanage..

there are plenty of sites to read about the emanage..most in jap.

but read about all the add on's..as well

even with a pfc its better to get a ebc

and wif the e-01 ur going to have a very nice setup

1st of all find wot power level u want and get ur stuff to suit..

$600 with injector harness is definitely reasonable. I will consider getting one closer to my injection upgrade. (man, I hate to think of how much the middle men were making on the base units sold for $1200).

I just went to a HKS sponsered drag race a few weeks ago. Guess how many GTRs has a emanage? 0 I'm not dissing the emanage I just hardly ever see them. This is what I don't understand though. The emanage can only change the a/f ratio for 5 different RPMS, the S-AFC2 can change it for like 11 or 12 RPM levels.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
