Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the vipec ecu's and how well they preform. I'm looking at installing one in my 32 gtr vspec 2 and mark from godzilla motorsport suggested it, so i'm going with him on that as it about the only thing i don't have some idea about. but i would love to hear from someone whos got one install or has some info on them.

Thanks guys and girls :D

Thanks Greg for the pm. So if you have to use the wasted spark setup does that mean that you need a new coil pack harness? In this case could i switch to a hks twin power unit and run it off that maybe? don't know much the twin power and how its setup either. if anyone knows please help.

Cheers

By the way can't pm yet, not enough posts apparently :thumbsup:

By the way would wasted spark be a bad thing? I mean the voltage needed to jump the plug gap is higher and so would end up having a better spark in theory, meaning a better burn and more power.

Thanks again Greg.

I had another look on the net and found a random forum talking about the vipec v88 and it apparently has 8 output ignition drives. Wouldn't this mean that it should be able to run the 6 coilpacks? The boost setup and ablity to run different levels of boosts in different gears would be good for lauching, especially with the lauch control as well. The Duel fuel map would come in handy as well. Still don't know much about the twin power systems but. Might try to research these some more

:cool: thanks for your help

I am running the V66 or as they call it "skyline plug in" on my R33 gtr, hasnt missed a beat, they have a fair few features and mark knows what hes doing with them.

they pull out standard ecu and replace the internals with the vipec mother board, plus straight back into the stock position and looks stock, if u are drag or circuit racing and have alot of power and a larger set up, id probably go with the V88 but its a wire in job, not plug in. but has alot more features that might be useful to you if you do either of these things.

Cheers

Darren

Thanks Darren,

I didn't even know there were more types of units. I've only heard of the v44 and v88. Think I'll have to have a good chat to Mark when I take the car in. At the moment its pretty stock and got a few goodies to go on at the same time. But in saying that I'm hoping to rebuild the engine with bigger turbos and try to run at least 10's as well as keep it a street car for the weekends of fun :cool:.

Cheers Matt

Yeah i could see that the price would be a fair bit more. I only thought there were the 2 systems and that only one worked on the skyline. but now i know better. Thanks again Greg, you've been a great help mate.

well if u discuss what your goals are with mark concerning the car im sure he will point you in the right direction with what ecu to get. for me there was no need to go V88 as im not planning on using half the features that it can provide, so for me it was not worth the extra money.

Love the way your car sits Danski! looks sweet on the rims.

So i take it that power figure was with the bigger single and the fuel and intake mods. Looks like you got a good package going and is only going to get better!

I'm going to try and keep the twin setup to maximise boost response but at yours at 3800rpm at full boost is pretty impressive

Cheers for your time

Thanks again Danski.

As for Bunta, I recently was quoted around the 2500 mark but can't really remember the actual amount. This was through Mark at godzilla motorsports and was fully installed and tuned on thier dyno. However I have led to believe that the best people to do this now adays is Murcury Motorsport and this is where I will most probably be taking my gtr. If you want more info on why pm me. Cheers Matt

The Vipec V88 series can be compared to the Motec M4-800 series, a very good ecu and a good tuner and you should have one hell of a car :)

Thanks mate. Pretty sure this is going to be the ecu i'm going to use. Should be good to finally have it in and see what it can do :P

hopefully have the car in next week

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
