Quick vid of quick tune...the Vi-PEC program that allows the car to tune itself. Simply set the target air fuel table for desired AFR's, hook a wideband up to the ecu and watch the magic happen.

Is this a Paid ad or does Link/Vipec get this all for free?

its not an infomercial...its a community service announcement.

Guilt-Toy tried filling the car up with E85...with a BP98 tune in the ecu...touched nothing...after a few stumbles on fire up the car happily idled like a dream. A few K's of driving up the road and it was retuned for the new fuel...it was freaky.

All new ECUs are like that now. Ive put about 15 Racecars onto E85 this year with most brand ECUs and found it a much easier fuel to tune.

The only thing that was touched up with the tuning by human input was the timing...the ECU tuned the fuel map automatically.

Im going E85 in my drag car after Jamboree...NIB how was the power ouput in your racecars when switching to E85 ? what fuel were you using before ?

Most are IP so the gains are not huge but still better than I expected but IP Power we don't talk about.

Sports sedans have had huge boost response improvement and very strong power/Torque gains. I use Powerplus Race fuel as its shown good gains over

The stuff mixed by Racefuels. E85 has well out performed VP109 etc. Try for yourself, I find power claims on the net lead to flaming so I'll leave it at that.

We have a basic RB25 powered S13 Sportssedan that way out run Ex Toll V8 Supercars using stock head and Poncams as an example.

....and an authorised Vipec dealer told me he took more than 10 hours to retune and switched my car over to E85.

The tune was also that good that I ripped the ecu out of my car.

My V88 + r32 gtr adaptor board is for sale if someone like so save a few dollar.

This is also a free community service announcement :P

no good, id love to see the maps out of that ecu to narrow down a reason. We use quite a few links and e85 (any fuel for that matter) has given me no dramas. MD does your tuning yeah? surely he has reasons, being reputably one of the best tuners around.

No it was not MD Trent.

If it was MD it would have been a max of 1 hour. He knows my engine like the back of his hand.

I am in Gold Coast atm, I wished I sent the car back to Adelaide.

Thats what i wanted to hear, i know how good MD is and i figured it would have been a piece of cake for him. I thought he found a fundamental issue hence your reason for pulling the ecu :thumbsup:

Can you wait till you return to SA to tune the V88 or is the GC thing a permanent thing.

Thanks Uras. I will be be in GC for some time and not sure when I will be back to SA.

MD offered to help but I don't really want to send the car down and risk blowing it up during transport.

His friend is helping me out up here. His friend has more experience, support and confidence with the Autronic, so that is being installed atm.

At the end of the day it's all up to the tuner for me. The ECU is just a tool that sometimes makes the job easier.

can i ask who on the gold coast?

Vipec people , need to know if the V44 can have alternate injector drivers fitted in the case to run low impedance/peak and hold injectors . I read on there site about an adapter box but would prefer to have it in the one simple unit .

I ask because I'm looking at using one in a four cylinder application with old hose barb style injectors . All the easy ones are low impedance so may need to use them .

Cheers and thanks , Adrian .

BTW if this works out well may look at a plug in for the R33 .

huge thread, looks good.. anyone know rough pricing for the ecu itself? (since it just plugs into the factory loom, no install costs required yeh?)

they were $1650 inc GST when i bought one for our circuit GTR. That was a while ago but price should be around that mark.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
