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 . . . . .

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
