Vipec + R34gtr?

[NIS.26L]

Anyone used a vipec ecu on a R34 GTR yet?

Was there any mods to do? or was it a direct plug in and tune?

Was there any issues with the MFD or any other functions not working with the vipec in it?

I am thinking of changing from my powerFC as i want to get rid of the airflow meters

talk to one of the dealers near you.

Bakes used a V44 in his R34 GTR, Paul (Swiper the Fox) set it all up..

More details on bakes car/upgrades is here:

A V88 kit would work fine and get rid of the air flow meters like you want. It should also have enough inputs/outputs for everything that you would want to run in the future.

I personally run an Autronic SM4 in my R34 GTR with Autronic CDI. It works a treat and is making 900+hp at the wheels. The Vipec should do the same job.

Just looked at bakes thread and seen he used the tech edge WB with the vipec,is this something that must this be used together with the vipec?

I assume the MFD worked fine and it was as simple as just pluging it in but i guess paul (Swiper the fox) is the one i want to speak to as he installed it might PM him

no issues with the LINK G4 version so i cant see an issue with the Vipec.

[NIS.26L]

Would the vipec use the standard O2 sensors?

You can keep the standard narrow band sensors you dont need to get the wideband sensor to use the ecu.

The tuner will probably wire a plug in so they can plug theirs directly into your ecu.

Did he install an actual V44 or the plugin based on the V44?

[TiTAN]

he would have the plugin, the actual V44 only has 4 injector drivers

cheers mate thats sweet as i just replaced the O2 sensors in my car and they not cheap!!

it would be nice to hear some feed back from members who actually have vipecs in there R34gtr as to drivablity compared to powerfc's mine is making 340ish klw at the wheels the tune is good but i feel with a better ecu and no AFMs it could be better

[SS8_Gohan]

Power FC D-Jetro perhaps?

What is wrong with air flow meters all of a sudden?

[Swiper the Fox]

Right...i installed the 1st ever Vi-pec plug-in in an R34 GTR...found 2 issues that Vi-pec overlooked.

The Air-con clutch is always on and drains the battery....needs a relay installed in the circuit.

The injector duty on the MFD did'nt work.

Other than that the ECU ran the car so smoothly...actually better than the std ecu!

Paul is the v88 going to need the AC relay installed? has there been other R34GTRs you or others have done?

Is there any limitations with the vipec? and with any updates (if any) in the future can they be installed by me or do i have to go back to the tuner?

SS8_Gohan as for the Djetro it is an option but i was thinking the new ECUs on the market must be better than a 10+years old technology of the FCs,the other option i was thinking of was the new haltech ECU

[SS8_Gohan]

i guess you also need to ask, who will be tuning my car? will you stay with who you're with or move to a new tuner solely due to product choice?

[32vspec2gtr]

I don't know if this is the same for the r34 but when i have been looking for a vipec for mine, I'm going to be running a v88 for the options and the fact that i can replace all my old wires and issues i'm having, that there is infact a plug in ecu for the 32 gtrs nick named the v66. From what i have heard these are a very good ecu, as Paul and that have said. Apparently better than the fc's but hey thats just what i've heard. Mine should be going in next week (crosses fingers nothing else screws up and puts me back again lol)

Hope this helps

I agree there, If there is nothing wrong with how the car drives now than its a lot of money for not much gain, the Car wont magicly make another 20kw if you delete the AFM's

Yes the Vipecs are a great ECU, But Id spend the coin on a turbo upgrade or somthing rather than a new ECU

Hi,

My car has the Vi-pec plug-in (R34 GTR).

I can confirm, relay was needed for air-con.

Injector duty does not work.

Not sure if its an issue just with mine but Throttle on the MFD only detects to 48%. Looks like its only getting half the signal it needs. I've tried the MFD recalibration but it does not work.

The car runs very well apart from that.
