I am new to S-chassis and I got my S14 zenki with a Redtop SR20 about 3 months ago. I just found out it had a Greddy emanage controller with a tune. The car has a T28 and was tuned @ 17 lbs with 300WHP before everything was removed. I bought the car with all the gauges and electronics removed. I was wondering if my car still has the tune without the emanage? If the tune and the emanage are gone is the car boosting stock boost? The car is running rich at the moment. Sorry for the noob questions but I didn’t want to make a new thread so this thread is great. I am planning to get a new ECU tuner and was wondering also if there are any that are at or around the price for a emanage that are better?

If the emanage is gone, the tune is gone. The emanage is a piggyback so it intercepts the stock signal and "tricks" the car into thinking something else is going on.

For the same-ish price, go with Nistune. Reprogrammable, fuel and ignition tuning, lots of support, AND not a piggyback. Nistune is a full programmable stock ECU essentially.

Okay, I fixed my own problem. I just had to take out everything and reposition the whole motor starting point behind the cowl.

Anyways, now I got a new problem. When I put in the in the first on (intermediate - adjustable), it really on the 2nd on (constant -slowish), and the wiper won't stop if I put it back on the on position until I turn the car off. This is a s14 btw. Would this be the amp? If so, where is it in the s14?

An offset is worthless without a rim width. 17x?. We need that part of the equation.

I am not an S13 fitment pro but I think like 17x9+15 would get you to where you want to be in the rear. Front maybe the same?

Did you look through the wheel fitment thread?

[DreamN]

Damn Steve, you failed hard on that question. lol

Folks run 17x9 +30 (R33 GT-R Wheels) like cake. 17x9 +20 is pretty much perfect in my opinion, though it also depends how wide of a tire size you plan on running and how low you plan on being.

pretty much looking for a flush look, a bit on NEEDED camber on the rear...i dunno wat tire size would look good, not down for stretch

[240Z28]

for the s13 silvia conversion, where do the headlight bracket go

Were you talking to me or Dalaz? Because my name just happens to be Steve too. Haha. Didn't know if I know you?

Right. You said that in your last post. Offset has no bearing on the diameter of the rim. Its directly related to the width. So again, how wide of wheel are you looking at?

For example, a 17x9+12 will have the same look from the outside of the car as a 17x8+0. They will both have the same flushness and stance. You dig?

They mount vertically on the core support (front thing that the radiator and headlights mount too). They bolt right in. Once you have it apart, it looks a bit more obvious since you need them for the headlights to mount properly.

i think they dont have replacement stickers you have to custom make that, or get one from the junk, or if your local buy one off my friend lol.

[ms!3]

the acc harness that runs from the interior fuse box to the engine bay fuse box, would that be the same for the s13 single and dual cam?

When using s14 front LCA on a s13 will i need to use s14 tension rods as well?

You can use the S13 tension rods. just make sure that if you are using S13 knuckles you swap your LCAs to S13 ball joints.


Anyone know if an 18x10 +18 will clear PBM coils on the front?

Yes the z32 bolts are to long.


Another question I need a coolant temp sensor for my blacktop sr20 will a redtop one fit? I am going standalone so it does not have to be ecu specific just need to know if it fits.

They physically fit yes. KA temp sensor fit as well if you just need a temp sensor that fits in the hole.

axles should have nothing to do with deciding what brake setup to run.

thank you in advance...

steve you noob. lol jk. Here is a simple solution. Take a tape measurer, and measure where your wheel bolts up to-to your fender. in a strait line. However many in inches, will be the width of your rim x(times) 2. so if the hub to the fender is 4 inches, you will need a xby 8inch wheel with a zero offset. Now when you choose your wheel (based on that) the ofset is just the center point of the rim. So if it's plus 25, the barrel goes towards the shock tower 1 inch, now you need a 1 inch spacer to make that room up. Let me know if that is too confusing, I can break it down a little more simple than that.

i acquired some rc engineering injectors 440cc with the part number of SL9-440 does anyone know what impedance they are. will they drop right into a dual cam without resistors? They came with clips too.
