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.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
