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

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

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.

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
