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.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
