Hey guys, i am about to part with the folding stuff for one of ray hall's Vi-Pec plug in ecu's for my gtr but i am having trouble getting feedback for the plugins. Anyone here used them? experiences ect, help an old guy out!

Cheers allan

Ive got one in my 34 and I love it, im not much of an ecu expert but Im really happy with mine.

They've got some good features and the fact that they dont need afm's is great :)

Im doing some research on ECU's and found mark from godzilla to be very helpful with all my inquiries about the Vi-Pec....from all reports including people using them over in canada they are a great ECU and good value for money, im planning on coupling mine with one of the ruzic engineering displays.

Vipec / Link are an amazing ECU for their price, I wouldn't put anyone off them.

I have seen eight second cars and the Vipec controlling 8 x 1600cc injectors perfectly.

Mark and i installed a Vi-PEC in Tony Wedlock's Solara drag car its has 18 x 1600cc injectors and runs 6.6's.

I run a Vi-pec ecu in our 9.45 sec GTR street/drag car as well as our street/circuit GTR. Both of these cars are tuned by Mark Jacobsen at Godzilla Motorsport....simply awesome results.

Are you talking about the Gas Motorsports Solara?

If so who did the tuning for that, was it Phil Laird, Joe Signorelli or someone from titan or elsewhere?

No...Tony Wedlock...TRD Aurion its called now, its a bit hard to get the Solara name out of my head. Its the ex Matt Scranton car from the states. It runs a V88 Vi-PEC with the 18 injectors squirting methanol, twin M&W drag 6 cdi's, M&W coils and an AEM wideband controller.

Mark actually did the initial tune on his chassis dyno and further tuning was done after each run at the strip using the data from the logs. Running a methanol car on a chassis dyno in an enclosed environment was no fun...it took days for my eyes to recover.

yeah, mackeye is still 5hrs away tho lol. we have recently got a 4wd dyno into town but i dont trust one of the tuners:(

Simple...arrange to hire the dyno from the owner and fly Mark up for the day. This is how we get him to tune our cars down here. Maybe organise another car to get done as well and share the cost between you and them.

Well, after working it out, hiring the dyno for 8hrs at $165hr, return flights to sydney at $849.70 and the cost mark will charge its gonna be a real killer. Im actually located in Gladstone, Central queensland, smack in the middle of everything lol Just weighing up the option of putting it onto a truck and sending it somewhere, to get it to brisvegas is gonna cost me 741 smacko's one way inc insurances. Still waiting on how much to get to other places

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
