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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
