further back in here it says that the V66 has 6

cheers mate i lost track there is that many references to the v44, 66 and 88 i dont know whats what lol, i think the vipec site needs to add a v66 and the specs to save all the questions :thumbsup:

im gonna be keen for one at $1500 its perfect price, just hope they are easy for most tuners as alot of tuners here are not fans of the autronic and im assuming this is a similiar design. When is the software program gonna be on the website i would love to check it out?

hmm it seems we have to buy them from local tune shops, not direct which puts me off a bit.... hopefully we can sort somehting out as im keen to get my hands on one to test and play with and find a decent equiv for haltec etc.

Let me know if you get hold of 1 trent. now that you have your shop open, id love to come round and finally meet ya. would be good to see the setup you have there. been hearin good things.

Would like to know what you think of this ecu. possibily replace the pfc in my car when ive got it up and running again

Whats everybodies opinion on the V66 Compared to th Haltech E11V2???

Got a little bit of news on the V66...yes its based on the V44 but is a special one off item specifically designed for the Skyline and features direct fire ignition. I was worried it might be a wasted spark set-up but no its direct fire. Still a couple of weeks before i get some in stock...illl let you know when its here.

I have just recently been searching for an upgrade for my PFC and came across this thread. The spec of the vi-pec ecu's looks very impressive, especially considering the price of $1500. I have a few questions about the V66 plug in ecu board for the GTR:

  • On the spec list it states the ecu can be used with MAF sensor. Can it be used with upgrade MAF's such as Nismo and Z32? I was thinking of running the ecu with stock MAF's until I decide whether or not to run upgrade MAF's or MAP sensor.

  • Will the V66 plug in board have the same of number inputs and outputs as the V88 standalone unit and if so how do you wire additional inputs into the ecu as it will be using the factory loom? Things such air intake temp and wideband lambda signal?

  • For the active knock control will the unit use the factory knock sensors or will it need vi-pecs own knock sensors to be fitted to the engine before it can take readings?

As a bit of back ground info I have an R32 GTR with GT2860 turbos and have uprated the fuel system which now includes Tomei 280L pump and Sard 700cc injectors. Ideally I would really like a system which has a base map for my current set up.

  • 2 weeks later...

For any east coasters these are available NOW through Godzilla Motorsport contact www.godzillamotorsport.com or you can pm me on here for details. Units do not have a base map loaded on them so they are not a turn key option. Ordering through Godzilla will get you a preloaded base map so it is a plug in turn key item.

Post Removed.

See post here for why.

Mark at Godzilla Motorsport in QLD has installed a couple in GTR's and one in a GTS-t.He is amazed at how smoothly the cars now drive with the new units installed. The off throttle return to idle is also far superior than anything he has experienced with a skyline before.

Truely a world class product.

ya i was having all kinds of idle issues, granted some of that has to do with my q45 TB with the monstrosity of a plenum i have rigged up to it, but the vipec overcame all that and never stalls regardless.

Great results on the dyno, but i was more impressed with the ease and response we had road tuning. very responsive interfacing and fun to work through. The launch control paired with using traction control at rev intervals and my first crack at this no lift shift (or flatshift) business has made driving an absolute delight all over again

Yeah im itching to get the fully optioned V88 into our drag car for testing. Especially the anti-lag launch and the flat-shift. Sick of having to feather the throttle after the burnout to stop the car stalling too as the Power FC hated returning to idle.

Just been looking through the Vi-pec site...

It looks as if the plug in ECUs are just the board, does it come with a case? asking this because I already have a PFC and dont have a factory ECU case to use for the new board.

Andrew

    • 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
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
