Autronic SM2 is around $2000 - $2500, for what you want I wouldnt see a need to go the SM4. Has capabilities for launch control, antilag and the processing power and tuning resolution is pretty damn close to the Motec M800 and HKS Fcon V-Pro (the SM4 is alot closer, but also alot more money).

Im actually debating at the moment wether to pull the PFC out of mine and go an Autronic as I have seen some really impressive things done with them (also PFC is a static map, once its set it doesnt change, Autronic is dynamic so if its a hot day it will retard ignition timing to try stave off detonation etc).

the pfc does have correction factors for such days ie ign vs water temp and ign vs air temp which can be adjusted and will compensate for hot days

Yeah it does, but not to the levels of some of the more advanced ECU's you can pick up for just a little bit extra (e.g. autronic)

Im in no way bagging the PFC, it is an awesome computer and I have been running one for 2 1/2 years now. I just personally think the Autronic is one step above the PFC (and, for that same reason, costs more as well) :)

MOTEC

There is no subsitute.

I agree!

I have read on many occasions on this forum about AFM being better. But what I don’t understand is why are a lot of quick track/drag GTR's going AFM(less)? I thought it was a rule of thumb that says "if you are going high mount turbo's you should consider a management system that does not incorporate AFM's". (The performance company that stated this will remain nameless).

Personally, how can you top the Motec and Autronic systems for a GTR?

yeah its true ecu like motec and autronic have much more flexibly but i think one thing that is over looked in all the ecu concidered is the impacted the tuner has. Meaning it would matter what ecu you got if the tuner isnt up to the job and if you have an excellent tuner he can make almost any ecu gain great results.

The greatest thing with the pfc is alot of the hard work is already done and there is a big saving in dyno time using a plug and play ($100plus and hour) doesnt take long to burn up lot of cash. I know of a tuner who want atleast a full day on the dyno get to put the ignital tune on a motel rb26/30 drag car at a $150hr that starts to add up very quickly my advice was for the guy to use a pfc pro and build the combo for there.

Hell who really gives a shit what ecu is in a drag car. Comparing high horsepower drag cars to a street car is just ignorant this is why a microtech will do about the same job as a MOTEC minus all the logging. The beauty of the autronic is that once you map out the VE table all you have to do is change your commanded AFR ratio to wathever you desire. Change turbo's, boost who cares your not changing volumetric efficency. This is how most standard holden and ford speed density ecu work.

My car came with a HKS FCON v piggy back and this uses a denso map sensor and has no MAF sensors. It's a daily driver and I have pretty much no issue with driveability. Yes it's a bit vague between -2 to +2 PSI when accelerating but more air gets to the turbos in the end, and it also depends on what your tuner can do to make the map smoother, just my 2 cents.

I can't help but think this post is in reply to my one! So let’s clear this up!

My post was made in reference to the argument "about AFM being better than MAP's"(not arguing for or against it, just curious). My line of thinking was if AFM are so good why are alot high horsepower GTR opting not to use management systems that do not use AFM's. Just an observation aside to the original topic!

Believe it or not rob82 there are people on this forums that don't give a shit about streetability (seldom few) and are more geared towards track (as I am) and drag.

And as for the "Comparing high horsepower drag cars to a street car is just ignorant" comment. People who do not read posts properly and make statements such as this are the ignorant ones. :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
