i have fitted and tuned 3 of the gtr plugin boards now and am very very happy with the results... cold start is great, steady afrs and smooth driving and no afms ...customers are very happy..

next week we are fitting 2 r33 gtst rb25 plugin boards.. will keep you guys posted..

also for the bigger hp gtrs we are fitting a v88 ecu with plugin adapter in 2 weeks for testing...

cheers, mark Godzilla Motorsport...

:D

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

Hey sam ive fitted and played with one and they are great but they are just a re-branded LINK from NZ. They tune up real sweet and the software is easy to use and quite well laid out, i certainly reccomend them but i must now compare distribution and pricing with LINK.

have a r33gtr with the top of the line vipec v88 ecu with plugin adapter loom running today...

this ecu setup is for the bigger hp rb26 gtr and rb25s runs a external 7 bar map sensor...

tuning it this week to get some good tuning data...

cheers, mark

No surprise there.. Software was almost identical to the old G3...

The link is almost $400 cheaper though? whats the difference?

Does the $400 just get you australian based support?

Also, what about air temp sensors, with the afm gone, do you wire one in?

all vipec ecus come with a air temp sensor and plug to wire in...the gtrs use the factory air temp sensor and for rb25s use the vipec air temp sensor supplied with the ecu...

ecus can be supplied with base maps depending on your mods talk to your local vipec dealer...

and yes you do get great support from vipec dealers...

the r34 gtt manual ecus are a few weeks away... r34 gtt autos will need to run the factory ecu to control the auto and wire in a v88 ecu to run the engine....

Are any of the sellers shipping these loaded with a base map yet, similar to how the power FC is standard?

Yes we are able to supply units with base maps and also a variety of levels of tune.

Be great when you become a SAU sponsor then :P

i contribute more on here than some trader who pays $50 a month to flog their wares on here and contributes nothing.

Profit i make from Vi-PEC = $0 :)

So why would i pay $50 per month to make no profit?

If your going to police the forums at least be consistent because...

you are seen in other threads today clearly supporting mates advertising their own businesses on here...see link below

I have a ViPEC with a Greddy EBC. Works fine I guess. I was told standalone EBC's function better than the Vipec's but I can't see there being much of a difference, other than being able to switch from high to low.

I was told that you can wire in a high/low boost switch.

I was looking at the website earlier and noticed in the comaprison table between V44/V88/plug-in, that the V44 and plug-in ECUs do not have knock control. It says the V88 does, but not the others. I hope that the table wrong. Can anyone confirm? I was under the impression they all have knock control. If they don't then that's a bit disappointing as your losing a factory feature. It was also a major advantage over the Power FC and others.

Of course, if I really want knock control I could buy a V88, but then a lose the 'stealth' factor of the plug-in boards.

You can wire in a high/low switch and set up a boost table to suit.

Only the V88 has knock control, that is correct. Don't worry about the "stealth" look, you can't see my V88 ecu unless you start ripping apart the interior carpets etc.

That's a bit of a worry, because there is no means of controlling knock and no means of indicating it like you would witha Power FC. Not sure if I wanna cough up the extra $$$ for the V88, plus adapter loom. It then puts me in the ball park of other ECUs. Other than that, the Vipec does look impressive :)

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
