these sound pretty good.. 1 question tho,

im currently runnning a de-jetro in my gtr. Will the "mafless" versions use the same/similar nipples in the manifold?

im loving the fact that you can have 2 seperate maps. One for the street on low boost/fuel consumption and the other for high boost at the flick of a switch..

A new Nissan plug in ecu is soon to be released on the market. A direct plug in running off all factory sensors and controls. It will be laptop programmable with full data logging, launch control, anti-lag, flat shift etc. The ECU will be supplied with a base map tune to suit a STD car and will feature a tune suited to aust. fuels and conditions. Will also feature dual map facility to switch between a race fuel tune and pump fuel tune at the flick of a switch. Red R Racing is looking to be part of the distribution team in Australia.

stay tuned for more info...

sweet its one of a few. The best one ive seen will even challenge motec (far superior computing power and speed) for thier market postion yet be half the price. It has all the above plus optional dash live knock sense and warning etc

id like to seemore of these coming out.

an update for those interested

The V44 release date is June 9th. The V88 release date is 3 weeks later. The website is nearly ready to be put up and looks good.

V88 with harness, USB cable, air temp and water temp : List price $2200 inc gst

V44 : List price $1540 inc gst

Anti lag option : $90

E throttle : $270 (V88 only)

Data log 4mb on board : $90

These prices are not confirmed yet and may be even less when it is released. The V44 is a bargain option for 4 cyl engines. The V88 system runs 2 * 34 pin connectors (Same type as M800 motec). The V44 uses 1 * 34 pin connector and shares the same pinout as plug A in the V88. Very good for upgrading. Also the V44 based plug and play systems will be significantly cheaper than the existing Autronic systems.

DiRTgarage,

Am i reading this correctly that this ECU will self adjust for different fuels (bad batch, no premium available) in much the same way that the newer WRX ecu's do using knock values?

As you have not put pricing in for launch control and the other features, do they come as standard?

Can you use a combination of MAF and MAP based tuning?

not as good as I thought -

Unit - $2200

Anti lag - $90

Rom - $90

E throttle - $280

Total - $2660 to get a decent unit for a skyline. The power FC's are about $1300 less, and can do over half what this can do. 90% of the Skyline market are just normal people wanting a bit more power with a budget. This is obviously aiming at the other 10%.

All this talk about being the new ECU that is going to take over the market is not the case.

I doubt this will make a very big hit. No offence, just my opinion.

^^ im with you.

I wouldnt call it better than a PowerFC by any means, its almost double the price Paul!

Puts it in the middle market where there are about 5-6 other ECU's, so its not in a ground defining market spot either

1.5k would be the ideal market price range for normal people like us.

However, whats the costs for tuning with this unit? and who does it? Any tuner shop with great tuning knowledge?

Hey but im glad theres people in australia making units like these. Hopefully they go global with it.. gdluck to these people!!

But to be honest, the price isnt that attractive at this stage..

I would have to agree with jono.. if this system is going to be a big success that combination listed above needs to cost under $2000, i would rather go for the AEM which is way under $2000

There is another proven aussie ECU thats been on the market for years that has all these features for the $2K mark, but no one likes that ecu... argument at the time was no one wanted all the extra features, fast ecu & mapping points etc it provided :P

Im not mentioning this to rain on Paul's parade, merely stating as others have, that to be successful, price might need to come down.

Lets put this into perspective...

If MoTeC announced it was releasing the M800 in a straight plug in to suit most versions of Skyline, with all the add-on's for $2500 you guys would be raving about it.

:P

This ECU is more suited to the driver/owner who wants a little more from their car, attends regular track days and is involved with the modification process of their vehicle. If your car is tuned and its a set and forget daily driver then yes it may be a little hard to justify the additional expense.

come on Paul u know everyone wants everything for nothing, its the usual deal why do u think all these china products are so popular lol, u will find the serious people will be very happy with the price and are happy to save 2k instead of buying a motec, etc.

ive lost count of people who purchase and install camshafts for little or no gain (sometimes going backwards) for less than this upgrade will cost if you are already a Power FC owner.

Im still keen on this for down the track, when I think about it the 2k+ price isnt that bad concidering i already have a PFC, if I add Z32 (+/-$300) EBC (+/-$400) Launch Control (-/+$700) its not that bad is it. I can understand if you already have the above you wouldnt wanna pay to double up on everything.

Plus I like new toys to play with...Bring on Tax time :P

i would not mind paying a little more due to the knock control... i can justify it. i would rather the ecu take over and protect my engine rather than look at a flashing screen that says some bad s....t is happening.

also i found a couple of threads the other day with people asking how to read the knock levels on a PFC. having it display knock as a numerical value means jack if somone doesnt know what the hell it is!!!!

at the end of the day everyone likes something that is cheap and if they have been using it for so long will not wont to change... i think some people call that ignorance :P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
