Why the change of ECU? 

 

Never heard of a Emtron 

how do they compare to the elite 2500?


I would say that the features they advertise actually work. Might even be able to track a Nissan cas unlike the haltech elite.

Emtron is Scott from Insight motorsports own ECU. I would say it pisses on a haltech as you do not need to buy a box everytime you want your ecu to do something. I also believe it has alot more inputs and outputs etc also. 

Basically i believe an emtron is knocking on the door of high end motec kinda stuff feature wise without motec pricing ?

Im sure someone can correct me if im wrong Lol!

I like my passenger floor not to be filled up with "add on boxes". Lol. 

Emtron was developed by Scott at Insight. For what it can do it's very reasonably priced... And no need for extra boxes! The Blackbox wouldn't do a couple things that I wanted it to do. Great piece of gear though. 

Hmm your not wrong about those stupid add on boxes, they also drive the price up the of them you have. 

 

Im in the market for a new ecu for my new build. 

I might look into the Emtron

IMO if you're chasing anything decent power it's time for a trigger setup. Gets rid of a variable.

What at sort of $$ for the Emtron? Are they easy to tune or very specialised bit of kit? That's probably where the Haltech range are attractive, they're quite easy to tune (up to a point anyway). 

Cant wait to see this thing bangin through the gears! ETA on completion?

Emtron KV8 (there is a 12 and 16) was like $3,200 GST inclusive. $880 for a patch look so you don't hack up your OEM loom. 

I would like to think not long but it also needs time for ECU install. That's tuner dependant. We all know how it is. Lol.

8 weeks perhaps? At a guess.

I'd firstly work out exactly what features u need then make a decision on the right ecu for you. I previously had a vipec then moved to blackbox as it had the additional ports I required....nowa days, more tuning shops are playing blackbox which is favourable as well :)

I guess there is no point in spending more if it's not needed...

It's a cowboy industry, YEE HAA! Enjoy the ride as many of us have to date.

Hey Paulie, any idea what it cost to drop the subframe ??

Will your whale be street legal ??

When it's finished , why dont you ship it to Japan where you can drive it as fast as you want to. I'll look after it for ya :22_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Marcus!

if you have time, flick me a call when you're free and I'll give as much info as I can. I don't know specific costs yet but I'll get a bill at the end I'm sure.

By no means is this thing going to be a track pig only car. Drive it to work on Saturdays, go down the coast for lunch. That sort of stuff.

fizzing at the bung to get it going. So close now :)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
