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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
