Ha! Send it to wherever via my joint....it might have some intimate time with a baseball bat!

Watch this. It's a clip from office space.

The guy at 47 seconds pretty much sums up my feelings right now

PFC for the WIN :D

or if you really wanna get a high tech ecu get a microtech :( lol jokes.

deano we could run the 285s but just have to raise our cars just a tad..... like 70 mm atleast.

im soooo keen for e85, come on gossy caltex hurry up and finish the tank works :D

lol 70mm :D

haha i was just talking to a mate today about this clip, farken gold!

yeah mate, pfc is a dinosaur BUT it works

sorry about the silly question, but to the guys running over 400rwkw, if you have a twin setup do most keep it internal or external gated turbos ? any issues with boost creeping ?

internal, there are no boost control issues with decent turbos :D

lol at microlebs, seriously them and V400 wolf 3ds are a downgrade from the stock ecu, less injector drivers and less features

My ECU is able to drive two sets of injectors via primary and secondary banks, two fuel pumps + lifter - it is set up to run primary bank+one pump on cruise and light throttle/loads, with the second bank and pump trigged when boost/load increases; can idle fine despite using MASSIVE cams, and gives me great fuel economy and drivability to boot (as long as I'm not WOT'ing it everywhere :D).

Data logging, switchable maps, shift light, two-step, warning lights, boost cut, soft and harsh rev cuts, etc etc.

I'd take it any day over a PFC or stock ecu...

Yeah, 4 injector drivers lol, means all 3 injectors are firing at once, lacks sequential injection like the stock ecu and any other decent ecu, no matter what you do, all things being equal you won't get as good fuel economy nor will it be as easy to tune.

for the price and trouble of going to an aftermarket ecu, there are plenty of better ones.

This just made me think of the VIPEC v44...it has 4 ign outputs and from what I can gather off their website, 4 injector drivers...

Four low current injector outputs. Optional Peak and Hold drivers available.

Spare injector and ignition outputs can be used for output control.

Though the line in bold confuses me...who the hell runs less than 4 cylinders?

Does this mean that the v44 is wasting fuel too?

I thought it was only the older models (of wolf and vipec) that only had 4 injector drivers, all new models run 6 or 8 injector and ignition drivers.

The fuel wastage isn't that bad, but it all adds up, it also makes it harder to tune the car to idle smoothly. Lack of ignition drivers isn't really an issue, injector ones can be though.

With 4 injector drivers you can run it in batch mode using only 2 of them, 2 driving 3 cylinders each, or 3 driving 2 cylinders each and set it up semi sequential.

the plugin skyline version has 4 ignition drivers and 8 injector drivers.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
