Instead of looking for why the EMU is crap on WWW try looking for information on why people choose high quality stand alone ECU's. Why would there be much information on a path that most choose to avoid?

The cost of doing things twice hurts but if you have your mind made up then good luck and I hope it works out.

@ Mark thanks a lot! youre post doesn`t say that its waste of time and cash which was spend ^^" if thats so that it will be good but maybe not good enough to tune it to my level so i will try :-)

@ Wolverine i wasn`t looking on the WWW "why is EMU crap" -,-" i`m not that stupid. But i can`t find reasons why to trash it...buying a old standalone like PFC or new other stuff for lot more than twice the price of the EMU is not logical for me when the EMU can reach my goal.

@ Zebra why was it rubbish? what was wrong?

@ Josh it wasn`t handy? thats all? gonna spend a bit time on it to understand it. Can`t be possible that Japanese guys are an other kind of Human and only they can understand EMU XD

i see...nobody can tell me why it`s a stupid piggyback and why and what trouble it makes

i try to search the board again...hope i`ll find some good posts :-/

I would buy a decent standalone.

Having modified Nissans over several years I always wish I had listened to those that were more knowledgeable and bought quality parts in the first place whether it was injectors or ecu's or tyres. It seems like you are saving money but the cost comes when you get a poor result and/or do it all over again.

Everyone here is recommending you ditch the EMU and go a standalone as you will get a better result. Good luck which ever way you go.

Okay so i`ll do it that way...comming year i`ll upgrade to an HKS GT-RS clone the GT2871R (or will be the GT2876R better?) because i have the Turbinehousing from a GT2535R which has the same turbine as GT2871R and GT2876R.

I guess the EMU is fine at this point...or am i still wrong? O.o

and when i finished the Engine i`ll go for the TD06...but with a stand alone then...

Which one is the best and easier to tune? I still wanna use NVCS...i like the character of the RB25det...not much till 4500rpm but above it runs :-) oh reasonably priced of course ^^" is there something with R33 Harness??

seems to be exactly the same position as the oem manifold...

I have used this Chinese manifold and immediately after installation was leaking a lot of air!

 

My mechanic suggested to machine grind the whole surface and now the leak is gone for now ( one day use ) I'm really worried about this now, can you give feedback?

Man resurrection of the thread after 7 years !

Yep your mechanic was right  . . . however I've also used a Chinese manifold in the past and it suffered warping and cracking.

Had it re welded and supporting pins put in from the turbo flange to the head flange for support as the weight of the turbo combined with the heat tends to warp the thin tubing. Then got it machined flat.

Or you can save up your lunch money and buy a high quality exhaust manifold and you wont have to worry about it ever again.

Or just run the one you've got UNTIL you can get a quality manifold

Or . . . . . . Nup I'm done . . . . .

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
