stagea engine management options

[32vspecII]

assuming you keep your auto , what engine management would be possible on a rb25det stagea .

thanks

Personally, I am going with the SAFC 11 current version, for ~$400 this gives a good A/F ratio result. You can't play with ignition as the auto needs ignition retard to give smooth shifts and not overload the transmission with torque while changing gear (prolongs gearbox life). So looking at other options with ignition control capablity (EManage for example) is a waste of money.

Full ecu upgrades, Power FC for example, aren't on the cards for me as they have no programming for the auto. Sure they run the engine itself just fine, but not the auto for the reasons above.

I am looking at around 200 awkw (that's about double the standard kw) and I have seen plenty of SAFC's work perfectly well at that power level on other RB25DET's. So the decision is pretty easy for me.

Hope that helps:cheers:

do a plug in board to allow remaping a r34 rb25 neo

anyone know if its the same ecu in the neo equiped stagea's ?

what about the hardcore aftermarket ecu's like motec and autronic ? I have seen autronics control auto sr20s before .

Nope, they have no shift logic. What you can do is use one of their outputs to change gear. Stuff like at 60 kph change into second, at 120 kph change into third etc. This is OK for a drag car, but not realy "shift logic". Where you want smooth up and down changes, down hill, up hill, under load, cruising etc etc

I was told that the lines of code to get an auto to changes gears properly, all the time, was over 1,000 times more than that used to get the engine to run. That's why you can buy manual car ECU's easily, but very very few auto ECU's. In fact the only one I have seen is the Power FC for Toyota Chasers and my understanding is it has Toyota auto shift programming anyway.

Greedy E-Manage is the type of piggy back you can use one the Auto Stagea, Jeff at C-Red already has his running on it.

I looked into it a fair bit and the E-Manage is the best option if you want a full piggy back.

what are the advantages of emanage over safc2?

[Guest]

With emanage you can do a lot more, this site will explain what you can do http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/

so for light mods the safc2 is good and for a more powerful tune then the greddy emanage is much better?

what sort of mods are they running on the cred stagea
