recently i have been helping a mate install and tune a wolf 3d V4 onto a RB25DET NEO engine. it is a wire in ecu and as i worked through the wiring process it came to me that this ecu doesn't have the built in option of VVT control like th newer V500's.

now what i have been thinking about that may work is to use one of the wolfs auxiliary outputs programmed to switch the vvt solinoid at a set rpm, most probably through a relay. for the people in the know would this work?

or has anyone had any experience with the wolf V4 wire in on vvt engines? how did you do it?

also what rpm does the vvt switch? and whats the solinoids operating voltage? i'm guessing 12v.

The V4 Plus R32/33 Plug-in does have the VVT control built in.

I believe your theory should work, but i am NOT a mechanic so you'll better wait for a more experienced opinion :P

You other option is to contact AEM and ask them directly, they are always willing to help :domokun:

yeah its the wire in so not vehical specific, and has no vvt function. and i'm sure its not the V4 plus, just the V4. basing this on the fact that it only has 4 ign outputs and 4 inj outputs. i have seen on the V4 plus it has the option for 6 ign outputs.

i'm fairly confident it'll work that way just need to know what rpm the vvt change over occurs at, i've read 1100 ish on and 5500 ish off, can anyone confirm this. and what voltage will activate the solinoid, 12v i believe?

Tha's how mine works. Actually, it uses 2 changeover relays, that basically switch VVT off for idle, switch on at 1500, then switch off at 4500 (roughly).

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
