Without sounding arrogant, why then does the factory ecu with factory tuning require 2 knock sensors?
Sorry my bad, what i should of said was that it does not visually display knock, like the power fc does.

The standard ECU does though doesn't it?

As far as I know it does. Sydneykid said that knocking on the stock ECU will cause the engine light to flash up, so presumably there are limits to how far it can retard the timing. The PowerFC will flash up the warning light when the knock level gets above 60, which is really useful because this is still below the limit at which you can hear the pinging from the engine.

It's especially useful for poor bastards like me that can't afford the tune yet :D

Hey all,

my car is running a Wolf 3D ecu at the moment and it runs very well. I have only had the car for a week or so but the previous owner has had it in there for a few years now and had it tuned and it is fine now.

BTW, can anyone tell me how to engage the security function on my hand controller as the previous owner is looking for the manual and I don't know how to do it yet

Later

I don't know about all wolf 3ds, but mine cuts fuel and boost above 17psi incase the wastegate etc does'nt do its job or if someone screws around with the bleed valve

This should help

What version Wolf do you have? you can down load the manuals from here

First youll need to know the previous security pin, other than that all u have to do is hold "SET" down when the ignition is off. Holding it down turn the key to ignition and it should prompt you

I don't know about all wolf 3ds, but mine cuts fuel and boost above 17psi incase the wastegate etc does'nt do its job or if someone screws around with the bleed valve

yeah boost cut, violently cuts the injectors...doesnt feel nice but i guess its better than over boosting 20psi and blowing a rod

I have supplied and fitted many Wolf Plugins inc 9 just before Xmas and love them. Many Wa SAU guys have Wolfs inc WAs toughest GTR ND4SPD using the first GTR plugin, This car drives factory uses less fuel than a standard GTR and has 580rwhp@ only 21psi and a mild tune and GTS tVESPECs GTS makes 411rwhp on a stock motor etc etc. The GTS prototype was fitted by me on an Auto GTS about 2 years ago and it is still going well.Boost cuts can be set at any setting you want and the idle speed control needs to be set up by some one that understand exactly what it dose.

Knock sensors are only in a car to help protect the car from damage.

The damage comes from the fuel not being a high enough octane, in japan they have 99% octane feul as standard, so when jap cars are out here and the fuel is of a much lower standard they require knock sensors to help stop pre and post detonation from happening.

All high end jap cars have this not just skylines, so don't think it's a bad thing or something or anything to do with the computer.

Can anyone confirm that the Plug In Wolf for an RB20 will run low impedence injectors without any dramas' ?

I have a set of GTR injectors all ready to go with resistor pack and an ECU tuned for my turbo and injectors. That said if a Plug-In Wolf will run the injectors without the need to wire up the resistor pack, then i will tempted to bank roll a Wolf ECU.

Looking at the software and brochures it doesnt explicity say the range of injector impedences it can operate.

Can anyone help re the injector impedence question with the plun in Wolf...also you guys using the plug in, what sorts of things are you using the auxillary outputs for?

I'm not sure about that Roy, why dont you give Steve-SST a PM and see if he can help you, he is the man when it comes to Wolf ECU's.:rofl:

As CrazO stated, Steve-SST will be the best person to ask.

As for "auxillary outputs";

1/ One is being used for my shift light. Just using a Jaycar 5" pencil thin neon, which is mounted just below the tacho.

2/ A second output is being used to control the factory boost valve. It is set to 13psi and is very stable.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
