Greddy E-Manage or Apexi PFC?

Ok gang.. I realise they are two different applications yet both have a similar job in mind.

Just a little basic info on my mods, I have a 3" turbo back, Apexi Pod, Bleed valve @ 10psi and I'm tossing up between a Greddy R-SPL or Blitz LM front mount.

More likely a Greddy R-SPL.

So anyway I'm looking for a stable Engine Management unit that will be able to support around 250rwkw. My future plans are to get the turbo hi-flowed, bigger fuel pump to cope after the hi flow, adjustable cam gears to bring boost on a little earlier, adjustable fuel pressure regulator to pump those injectors so they don't max out.

Your probably thinking if his doing all this why not get the PFC... well it's gonna take a lot of saving to hopefully aim to get these mods done by the end of the year (Dam poor a$$ office job) and I think once I get the cooler this will probably make the fuel system abit rich and instead of going the SAFC-2 I'd get the Greddy E-Manage.

So can I have your opinions on this? Considering Greddy E-Manage is around $550 and the Apexi PFC is $1450.

Thanks for everyones help!

powerfc is $1100 delivered from nengun. powerfc will do 250rwkw easily. speak to your local tuner and see what they would prefer or what they consider better/easier as they're the ones tuning it. i know nothing about the emanage but have powerfc on my r33. also speak to your tuner for a fmic kit install, will be cheaper than an unfitted jap kit and should flow the same.

I actually don't have a tuner =

I do all my own service and everything I've installed so far has been simle bolt ons.

I'm thinking about heading over to Ice Performance, I had a couple chats with the boys over there and they seem quite good. Although I've heard you have to book a few week in advance, which is a downer.

Have a read of the sticky on what is a greddy emanage at the top of these forums. Gives ideas of the capabilities of it. The emanage can be bought as a direct plug in kit so that you don't need to rewire it. Its probably best to find out what the tuners around there are more familiar with PFC or Emanage, Although I don't expect them to be drastically different!

Power FC is a full replacement computer, there is no comparison between that and an EManage which is a piggy back. If you buy the stuff to get an EManage even close to a Power FC, it will cost more anyway. If you want to tune air/fuel ratrios only, then the SAFC is a cheaper solution, that looses nothing to an EManage. If you are really tight on budget try the Jaycar Digital Fuel Adjuster kit, just as good as the SAFC for 1/5th the price. But you do need to able to read instructions and solder components on circuit boards.:)

what if you can't use the power fc cause my car is auto? The e-manage has one made for my car to run with the auto, so would that be my best option?

The SAFC will do everything that the EManage does in regards to tuning the A/F ratios (as will the DFA). The only reason for choosing the EManage would be to try the ignition tuning option, but I have yet to see a dyno comparison that indicates success from that implementation. And at the same time retain the standard ECU programming for ignition retard on gearchanges in an auto.

So if anyone has done it successfully, please post up the results.

:P

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
