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

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
