I find it funny how the title of this thread says these are aussie made, they are made in NZ by link electrosystems, they sell their versions called g4 storm and g4 extreme.

Nice AFR... Not...

Rather heading to the lean side on that mate at a 12.5AFR most of the way through the rev range...

That could be rather damaging on a warm day if it detonates.

I did not look at his graph but 12.5:1 should be fine provided the rest of the tune is up to par. i have tuned plenty of GTR's and RB's for track work that see way harder times than a daily driver.

i have also had some big number daily driver GTR's on my dyno leaner than that... all come from probably the most respected GTR tuning shop in aus.... hardly a concern.

I agree. I have been taking my car to JPC for the pass 3 years and i highly recommend them

Mark and Paul do outstanding work.

I spoke to JPC today and will be going in in a week or 2 to get a Vipec ECU installed and tuned.

I dont see the point in paying $1200 for a second hand Power FC when i can get a brand new ECU that seems to be better for $400 more!

Is there a downside to the Vipec system? Sounds all good to me.

is this true ??? is this ecu just a re-brand Link ecu ??

I am pretty sure they are Australian engineering and designed. So, who gives a toss where they are made. Holdens are "Aussie made" and most of the small car range is made overseas.

Anyway, great ECU!!!

I was quoted $1650 plus 4 hours to fit and dyno......i'm now thinking of just getting the standard ecu remaped through dr drift.

Yeah it is tough to beat sams good work. He just did my gtr and I couldn't be happier

Like Trent, I too am interested in purchasing these items through someone other than a direct retail competitior...

I would say they had "input" from Ray hall as this is why they feature very similar fueling strategies to Autronic, but yes they are made in NZ by link.

I have no doubt they are a very good ecu.

Finally got the Vipec installed by Insight motorsports. Overall I am very happy with the results, the car feels a lot more responsive down low and coming onto boost, and more importantly is no longer running lean. Was safely tuned to 355HPawkw @ 17psi, car has N1's, exhaust and dumps and that's about it. All it needs is bigger injectors but will see how this power goes down at the track first.

Can post a dyno sheet if anyone is interested.

Did you go the V44 'plug in' or the Wire-in unit?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
