Is that one of the single-din pc setups?

I didn't want to go so small (mine is about the same size as my amp) as it wanted it to be semi-upgradable and have room for a capture card.. eventually I'd like to have some good quality cameras throughout the car :P

i see the anti-lag and rotary idle had them either running for cover or scratching their heads at Summernats.

nice comment about it being all over the Power FC too.

we should have the engine monitor up and running soon for you to try with it also.

I worked out how to setup Group N Anti-Lag and Cycle idle at Summernats, gave it a good work out, here is a video of my car spooling up 20psi of boost with the clutch in then dropping it (just a little burnout i was not keen to get kicked out)

Watch old mate to the left, he copped the extream anti-lag pressure from the side pipe and was jumping outta the way :laugh:

*More Vids of Anti-Lag*

ahh paul you'd love it :laugh:

haha not really...only good thing about summernats are the pavillions + dyno.

glt toy....how much traction loss when launching anti lag etc???? is it very driveablewith the features + are they easy to turn off (rotary control, anti lag etc)

Cycle idle is NOT anti lag, its for cooling when the car is on anti lag rundown, so when your not on anti lag the extra air and no spark in the cyl cools it down heaps, i noticed when idleing around with cycle idle the engine would not go to operating temp on a very hot day.. which is weird...

You can turn anti lag off with a digital input switch (but cycle idle stays on), and when my car is on 24psi with anti lag there is no such thing as traction what so ever. Its just a big show off thing i wreckon :( but its fun and grabs attention

its also kinda hard to drive the car with cycle idle.. its mainly for WOT driving so i will have it on again for power cruise.

Id be interested to see whether anyone has bothered to run the boost controller that comes with these computers. The guy whos retuning my car was part of the development team of these new ecu's and said they are incredibly good.

Wouldnt mind hearing some other opinions as naturally he is a tad bias!

I'm using the boost control feature. I've got a Mac solenoid in place of the stock one. I have wired the ECU up to an external switch (factory fog light switch) for high/low boost :) The boost control seems to work fine. It's open loop though, which means it takes a little longer to tune on the dyno. It also has overboost protection.

There is a closed loop boost control feature coming soon I believe. I'm looking forward to that one.

this is prolly going to get laffed at, but since the vipec is just a board that you put in ur standard ecu is there a way to put it in your PFC and thats a way of possibly retaining the hand controller without having to go laptop..

No not possible at all.. however in a few weeks there will be a Vipec Dash available which will run rings around the Crappy padel power fc hand controller and have programable shift lights and all kinds of stuff available.

I will do a review on the Dash just before its about to be released.

Sounds great. I have an overboost problem at present and wouldnt mind checking out whether its teh boost controller thats causing the problems without buying an expensive new one. Solinoids are 100NZD (not sure about AUD) if you want a new one also.

Look forward to hearing how it goes mate.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
