Vipec Ecu

[PM-R33]

Bit of a bump, what's a V44 plug and play worth these days? Just the ECU, not installed and tuned.

Hi,

I have been personally looking at the vipec for my 33 gtr aswell.

I have been talking with Trent from Mercury about the V44(plug in ecu).

I asked about the features the plug in features all the same as the v44 just in plug in form so it has a 2 step, anti lag, and flat shift however the v88 has everything.

You do require a boost controller to control the boost or you can buy a solenoid then have the ecu tune it.

Trent said to me the board by its self is about 1900 without install however may be cheaper from Godzilla as they are the distributor and sell to Mercury.

I have been looking over and over what ecu's are the best to run, like apexi, haltech, motec, etc.

Each ecu has its plus' and negatives but i have to say personally for my needs and what i intend my gtr to do the vipec is the best bang for the buck, which include all the features especially the 2 step so i can get my personal best QTR mile time down.

Godzilla are a very professional bunch to deal with, had my npc clutch installed by them. and my timing corrected. Would def go back to them again if i havent had even better service from Mercury and how they talked and explained things to me, Trent and Tess (Mercury motorsport owners) are awesome to chat too, and they can also help you out with finance if need be.

I have read that the ecu does come with a base map suited for the car however.... would recommend tuning and install by a shop so your covered for warranty.

Atm i am running a Tomei direct replacement ecu(came with it from japan) i am only making 198kw at 14psi. I am hoping that my car will push over the 300Hp mark with just a tune.

But the vipec is the best choice IMO.

Good luck with it keep us posted!

Kyle.
