the timber species Tasmanian Oak is actually mixed tassie and vic trees like vic ash mountain ash messmate etc but its labeled OAK cos European people believe that ash is a sub species.

Enough "oh but its a vipec not a link its a link not a vipec." more about tuning results please. i couldnt give a rats arse who makes it. just as long as its good and has the proof to back it up

i think 12 pages back we all agree it is good, ive used both Vipec and Link G4's with great success, but as said a page back if you have a PFC and expect to get more power just by changing over you are wasting your money.... check over the options and if you need extra functionality and are reaching the limits of your current ecu then i cant reccomend the LINK or Vipec enough as they are great to use and driveability is as good as a well tuned PFC remap etc, far better driveabilty than any microtech etc..

You aussies can have Russell Crowe. Hes not very popular this side of the Tasman

hey all

im about to put a r32 rb26 into my 33 gtst, i currently have a 33 gtst pfc, but from reading i presume i would need the r32 rb26 vipec to run this motor? is that correct, and then would also need a standard 32 gtr ecu to put the vipec board into??

any r 32 33 or 34 stock ecu case will fit the vipec board

the vi-pec board suits rb20/25/26

speak to alistair @ Autoworx or contact Lumpy (the distributor in WA) for any details

i figured out why flat shift wasn't working for me earlier this evening, i must say its a good bit of fun now that it does work, though traction between gears is a bit of an issue.

how do you set it up? where were you going wrong?

[TiTAN]

Wire up one of the digital inputs to the clutch switch and set it up as a "GP Input".

Check that the settings are correct for the way you have wired the switch using the "Digital Inputs" tab at the bottom of the software. (this is the bit where mine was playing up the rising/falling setting was set incorrectly so it was activating as the clutch pedal was released rather than depressed which makes for an interesting drive)

Turn flat shifting on i have found that around 0.75 seconds for the cut period works well for me.

Then just setup what RPM you want it active above with what % of throttle you want it to activate over.

i found that my car with a fully functional stock BOV holds ~8psi (running 12psi) during the gear changes and the boost is pretty much instantaneous when the ignition cut finishes.

cheers man, will do that when purchase time gets closer

[T04GTR]

i havent read the whole topic but has anyone noticed that this is an autronic... but with more fetures? evan the website has exacly the same layout as autronic...

[T04GTR]

makes my old faithful autronic smc abit out dated

[T04GTR]

hrmmm thats how i set mine up in my smc.. but i cant get it to work...

[Ultimategtr]

Just a wild question, its probably been asked before, but i couldnt be bothered reading through the 20+ pages.

Does anyone know if there are any decent tuners for the vipec here in Auckland, NZ??

and roughly how much for drive in drive out?

You would be crazy to use a vipec ecu in NZ, go to your nearest link dealer. If you can drive up to whangarei trickytune is a dealer and has done many pnp g4's

Anyone who tunes link g4's can tune a vipec as they are the same thing.

Btw GCP are the nz vipec dealer.

can anyone confirm that the v44 plugin will run low impedence injectors without using a resistor pack?

I have heard they from different people that they will but have also read you need a resistor pack.

Anyone done this yet?

V44 only handles high impedance so you'll need a resistor pack.

The V88 handles both + it also has knock detection unlike the V44.

Graham West in Adelaide has been running the Vipecs on the skylines adn other cars for some time now. He's good but he's expensive.

Personally I'd prefer to grab the one install myself and have my own tuner tune it for a few hundred.

I remember reading some where the V44 handles external knock input so that may be another option. Really comes down to the price of the V44 plugin vs V88.

I'm a bit of a fiddler so I'd love to ditch the PowerFC, plug the Vipec in with a wideband/laptop and get that tune 11ty billion percent spot on.

[TiTAN]

the V44 does do knock detection, but requires an external signal filter/amp.

[Scooby]

anyone come up with a good way of determining correct knock threshold?

[TiTAN]

with the amp or with the figures in the knock map?
