Quick few questions

Tracing an AN2 Voltage error on the IAT Sensor, the sensor is reading negative temperatures for fractions of a second and then returning to normal, this appears to be linked to my break down issue.

Will trace the cabling and check the sensor voltage as well, any tips on what to set the multimetre at for this? Also just wondering my car also appears to be running a bit hot as well, getting up to 95c on the standard radiator, and this isn't flogging the car either. Running thermo fans, just wondering is it possible my IAT issue is effecting when the thermo fans cut in (controlled by ecu)

thanks (this is on the v44 plugin board ecu)

After asking many questions at workshops, i think this thread has given me the definative answer on which ecu i'll be going for. V44 wins hands down over pfc (considering exchange rate and not chancing it on a fried 2nd hand unit). I think Dirt is right, everyone is a little apprehensive about new products, but when you have both Dirt and Guilt-toy and a few others vouching for this product and the benefits are in front of you, it can only be a good thing

I've got no issues with the support ray got back to me the same day, can't beat that, just really after other peoples experiences. Both the tuner and ray said the same thing, ie check the IAT wiring to see if it has been pinched etc.

can it run automatic rb25? or run in piggyback style, due to auto ?

cheers

Runs in an auto find Brendan. No, it doesn't do shift compensation, (ie pull timing on a shift to reduce the kick and motor loading while being pulled back down in revs on a change)

I just upgraded my original GTST LINK plugin to the new G4 Plugin (same as V44 hardware) and its perfect.

Throttle response is alot better , even out of the box once fuel maps %'d down to suit the 740cc's.

It definitely wins hands down when you consider the purchase of EBC's afms etc. The only thing I don't like about the V44 is lack of knock display. :(

I don't believe being a new product is an issue - it is a Link G4 but with better support and tweaked to prevent using either or software.

I might have a look at both firmware and see what differs. I suspect where it matters they will be identical, the issue preventing the use of link and vipecs software on either unit is not an indicator they are 'different' ecu's.

I run a knock-link with my vipec to display knock in the cabin. If you're going to use a knock-block for your knock input on the V44 plugin, you can use a knock-link display for the visual display.

I plan to change to one of the LCD type displays in the future for additional outputs.

The new Ruzic Engineering Engine Monitor is a straight plug-in dash display for the Vi-PEC. Its plugs into the CAN port and instantly displays 9 engine parameters pre-programmed as well as many more user defineable options. Comes with shift and warning lights as well as an audible buzzer. Will post some pics and details as soon as im able.

This is your knock display The Rogue.

have a link to it?

ive just installed one in our racecar...ill take some shots and post them up. This item is so slick and with a blue backlit and white LCD screen looks the goods too. The software even has its own dedicated Vi-PEC section written in it...nice.

Ive been made a dealer for this product as ive had quite a bit of input making it all happen as far as the Vi-PEC interface is concerned. They will be available for purchase for Vi-PEC owners very soon.

Someone mentioned previously in this thread about it being called a V66 (by forums guys) cause it has 6 injector outputs...

But it actually has 8 by the looks. Inj 7 is used to drive the Idle solenoid on gtst. Inj 8 is not greyed out so i assume it could be used if you ran a wire :)

I will be running a few wires to make use of the spare in's and outs not available on the expansion connector (ie GTR second AFM input not used in gtst.

He said NOT running the vipec...

Yeah...i know what he said and answered acordingly. You can run the engine monitor if you dont have the Vi-PEC...it just makes the installation a lot more complex as the unit needs to be wired to all the sensors. With the Vi-PEC it simply plugs into the CAN bus port and gets all its data fed from it.

That is correct it does have 8, my INJ 8 actually controls my thermo fans.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
