What do you guys think of running a innovate wideband into the a V44 on closed loop? The innovates sampling rate is only 12hz so I'm a little worried it isn't ideal for closed loop/WOT corrections.

I'm running an innovate LC-1 with V44 and using closed loop (Wideband V2 setting). To be honest, I'm not sure how much of a difference closed loop works. I think I could see it making corrections to get to the target previously, but now I've retuned all of the light load area using the Mixture Map mode and now it pretty much sits bang on the target even when closed loop is off. I haven't had any experience with WOT tuning though. One beauty of using wideband closed loop is that you can change your target away from 14.7:1. Mine runs a tiny bit leaner at cruise to improve economy.

and you can set far more hysteresis for closed loop operation.... skys the limit

whats the price right now for an r33 gtst?

1650$ is RRP for a link gtst/gtr plug in board . they are pretty strict on it so it should be no more no less . The vipec pricing can be a little wobbly as you have to factor in the state/regional distros and how much markup/discount they are giving to the next supplier in the chain.

link/vipec is still the best ecu in price range by far IMO

so who out there knows if a v88 or link will run a vq35hr? intake and exhaust vct. (hydro int and e,magnetic exh) manual throttles or the twin electric ones..

i dont reckon there would be an issue... happy to ask the question from the horses mouth if you want?

Interesting, how do u compare out of interest

we dont supply anymore, we just send guys to whoever has the best price on what ever ecu best suits their needs (no matter the brand) other wise we need to hold too much stock... having to hold ecus from each brand used to tie up around 15k in stock..... they sell for around $1650 and our tuning charge is between $650 and $850 regardless of ecu, everyone is different.

get a Link G4, the original and cheaper :D

plus you're supporting a Christchurch company... struggling city at the moment :(

from the link website:

History:

Link was one of the very early market entrants twenty years ago. 2010 witnessed a turn-around in the market perception of the Link name thanks to the technical excellence of its product. The launch of the ViPEC brand has seen a new product pitched against high end competitors with outstanding results. Continued clear and unambiguous differentiation is further required to propel the ViPEC name higher

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
