Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if a wolf 3d v3 is able to be used on a 33 gtst??

If so how good is it? is it like a power fc? will it be better than an emanage ultimate or safc?

below is the pic of it.

Thanks for the help

damn google chrome!

Ill try again :laugh:

How modified is the car now/going to be?

Whats your budget?

Is it a street only car?

Those things will help answer with better detail, but for now ill tell you what i know/think/etc :P

They are a compatible yes... except for the point about how they don't use the factory knock sensor, infact they dont use anything for knock.

Where as PFC/Vipec (roughly the same price as PFC new) do use it.

They have a lot of features, and AUX inputs, thats definately a big point compared to a PFC.

However, most of those for a street car, your really never going to use 3/4 of those features.

You can email Wolf as they are AUS based, for more info... doco's etc. They are very helpful also. They have done a presentation in the past @ SAU-Vic club meetings :spank:

Their after sales support is also excellent.

http://www.wolfems.com.au thoughts, PFC wins over Wolf.

Emanage/S-AFC are lesser compared with the likes of PFC/Wolf/Vipec etc.

However... depending on the application, they might be best because they are cheaper (say if you run a stock turbo car with just a I/C and some boost... S-AFC would be my choice)

My thoughts is PFC hands down overall. Why?

- PFC comes with everything to suit the R33 perfectly. Mainly due to knock detection, first turn of the key the PFC works etc.

- Price is a factor too.

- Wolf ECU knowledge isnt as widespread (for tuners), where the PFC has many many good tuners in each state. Your not restricted to use a workshop that might be half assed and your not happy with... and then unable to go elsewhere.... where the PFC, you've got plenty of choice.

- You dont really need aftermarket support and a zillion features for a street/light modded car

- Easily tuneable, comes with cold start and everything else the same as a factory RB25 ECU.

Cheers.

PFC doesn't do anything useful with knock, it just gives you a pretty light on your dashboard that flashes and says "your engine is being destroyed".

My one gripe with the PFC is that there is no knock retard on it. If you fill up with stale fuel the only thing stopping your engine rattling itself to death is you noticing your check engine light amongst all the fun and games of hitting boost.

(ok so I'm exaggerating but still)

lol @ ur engine is destroyed.

A minor ping is nothing to get too excited about.

If your that worried im sure you could get a much brighter light other than check engine (ive actually been thinking about a bring LED setup myself and working a way to run it)... well, not me... but my wiring guru who posted after me :laugh:

Back to S-AFC... soon as you change injectors/turbo - IMO its time for a replacement/better management solution.

PFC/Vipec/Anything...

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
