New Plug-in Ecu Coming

[SSHatch]

I am still curious for clarification on the V66 Skyline plug in model.

There are so many stories going around about if it even exists or not and what specs it is.

I was originally told that the V44 had 4 ignition outputs so a wasted spark set up was used on 6 cylinder cars, the V88 had 8 outputs so two were not utilised. To overcome this a cut down version of the V88 was produced for the Skyline Model that had 6 outputs. This sounded fair, till I started asking around and got differing stories from different suppliers. So, I went straight to the company themselves and all they could do was to point me to the link on their website which didn't tell me anything until I downloaded the manual for the Skyline Version and it appears that it is a V44 with connectors already attached for the Skyline loom.

So if anybody can 100% definitively answer this question I would like to know.

I will probably still end up purchasing one of these in the next month or so for the GTR once my other car has been sold but I to would simply like a straight answer to a simple question.

Inside the box, the design is quite clever. It looks like they have a standard board which has the processor etc on it. This then plugs into a base board, which is designed for the particular car and is the correct size to fit in the case and has the standard loom connector on it. So I suspect the processor board is a V44 and the base board has the extra circuitry for the six injector outputs.

I've had my Vipec for 3 weeks now and it seems to be working faultlessly. This morning I started it up, it started first time and held the revs perfectly. Far better than the stock ECU, which was having problems controlling the idle in my car.

Getting mine installed next week.

Getting mine installed next week.

i got a plugin installed on my 33 series 2 gtst by Mark @ godzilla. made 245rwhp with stock injectors and turbo @ 13psi (i got fuel pump and regulator, hybrid fmic, pod, dump + highflo cat)

but it runs really smooth, a lot more responsive than it was with the stock ecu

should be good when i round up some more $$$ for turbo and injectors and splitfires

Mine arrived this morning.

Any ideas on where to place the intake air temp sensor?

[discopotato03]

Has anyone run one with a mass airflow sensor and if so does it work with the std loom wiring ?

Cheers A .

[TiTAN]

Disco, according to the manual, yes it works with both 20/25/26 single and dual AFM's. channels AN volt 5 (front 26/25/20) AN volt 4 (rear 26) which are pins 35 and 27 on the standard connector.

r34nur has got a point....I mean if it looks like a Link, smells like a Link, then it must be.......

No amount of camera angles are gonna convince many people otherwise

you guys cant tell the top one is actually photoshopped? LOL

[DRD-00F]

damn... beat me to it Travis

There is no shadowing on the ViPEC area even though there is a light source

[Adriano]

In the manifold or intercooler pipe near the throttle body

so what if its photo-shopped? if it looks like that IRL then it is re-branded..

[DRD-00F]

It doesn't matter that it's photoshopped. I make up a lot of advertising material for work. It's just a representation of the real thing

[TiTAN]

or because link do the manufacturing for them and already had that casing designed it was cheaper to just use it than design a new one?

can you name the benefits over a G4? im yet to see anyone prove its any differrent? either way they are great units (vipec and G4) and better than a certain very popular sydney produced product in my experience.

[TiTAN]

For anyone installing one of these the intake temp sensor thread is a 1/8" 8NPT with 27 threads per inch.

Trent, from what i could see on the link website they don't offer any plugin models of the G4?

[Guilt-Toy]

guess who has put a order in for a plugin

[CeJay]

Santa Claus?

[autoworx]

can someone post a pic of the link g4 board ?

my understanding is they are indeed different , hardware , logic , firmware etc . vipec is manufactured by link and looks like it does use same case but beyond that would be nice to confirm.

either way product is great , if link g4 is as good , even better another great option

have one in my personal gtr now and even with a quick rough 1hr tune starts and idles better than factory

plug in is v44 with extra injector drivers , not v88 cut down . im pretty sure its covered in this thread a few times but at 20 pages its hard to find specifics now

so, selling the SM4 then?
