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

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
