1 question i have that im gona send an email away is if i get the v88 and i get it tuned for the neo motor and i put a different motor in like a 26 can i load a 26 map into it later and tune that or i have to get another ecu.

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?

Vipec V44 plug-in manual:

GTR models are fitted with LOW impedance injectors run via factory fitted ballast resistors. This ECU has been designed to be used with HIGH impedance (greater than 6 Ohms) injectors. Ballast resistors must be wired if low impedance injectors are to be used. This means that the ECU is plug-in compatible with factory fitted injector/ballast combinations on all models.

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

with the amp. i'm keen to know how people are setting up the knock response threshold since it's hard to know what knock sounds like for a given engine unless you can produce it. ie no point having the knock function set at a threshold such that the thing is rattling away but the ecu does nothing because the knock severity at which it acts only occurs when the conrod exits the block.

unless of course it's a noise filter like the Turbo XS Knocklight.

would also be nice if they could find a way to use the standard knock sensors on the GTR.

it uses the standard sensors, the plugin and the V44 need an amp/signal filter so that the input is 0-5v without much random signal noise where as the V88 has that built into the unit.

Ear muffs/det cans. :geek:

i know how you listen for knock, what i'm asking is how you set the knock correction point if you don't know what knock freqs are for a given engine.

if it was standard practice to get the engine to 'just' start knocking and set that as the threshold for the ecu to trigger knock control there would be no question, i just don't intend getting my car tuned that way.

Turbo XS claim that once the procedure of calibrating the Knocklight to the freq range of normal engine noise for a given engine - ie without knock - is complete, it recognises freqs outside that as knock. they are confident that the unit will pick it up correctly because knock freqs are fairly unique. in other words it detects freqs outside those parameters as knock, although the suggestion is that knock freq range is extremely narrow. i'm not advocating their approach but i can see it's plausible as they use the parameters of an particular engine's unique freqs.

another example; the stock GTR ecu has knock control but if you use it on an RB26/30, which will have a different knock freq to a stock RB26, there is no guarantee it will be effective as what it hears when a 26/30 knocks itself to death might be different to what it has been calibrated to recognise as knock.

hope that makes sense.

just not sure how it's done with the Vipec.

With the vipec can you select high or low impedance injectors?

Also just wondering considering the current group buy on the Haltech E11V2 @ $1545

Why would you choose the Vi-pec over the Haltech?

Those who have the v44 whats your idle like? Now I have the injectors and hks turbo on, the idle seems to hunt a lot, where before it was almost flat as a tack? Is it worth doing some data logging?

your engine didnt eat turbo bits did it?...probably only a simple air leak though...are the injectors sealed where they seat on the head flange?

My engine may of eaten some small turbo bits, compression test came back regular no cylinder vastly different to the other., some small metal flakes were found around the intake and around the IM. Intercooler piping etc was all cleaned out. What do you mean by are the injectors sealed?

Wasn't doing this for the few mins I had the car idling after the turbo blew.That was with the old injectors

thx

they have small rubber insulators that seal the injectors to the head...its quite common to not seat them correctly allowing a small amount of air to enter the system which is making the idle hunt.

Frankly I wouldn't know, I have the software to monitor the ecu, but I havent had the chance to use it.

edit: I'll have a look tomorrow to see what I can around the injectors, thx for the tip.

Will see if I can do some datalogging of the ecu on friday as well.

thx

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
