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 MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
