Vipec V44 Vct Setup

[PM-R33]

Hey guys

I setup my Vipec yesterday and got the car running. Very impressed with how easy/little there is to do to get the car drivable.

Just got a quick question regarding the VCT setup for the RB25. I noticed it doesn't come presetup and you have to do it yourself. I quickly checked the pinouts and it appears Aux 1 is wired in to the VCT solenoid. I looked through all the settings and set it up as in the following picture. It seems correct to me but I thought I would just double check to ensure it is right. I wasn't 100% sure on what to set the SwOff Timer?

Is this all good? Not really too fussed about the RPM points at this time, I will sort that out during tuning.

Cheers

Phil

Here is my setup for VCT (i have set it up quite differently to you)

Hmmm how does the frequency 200Hz effect things? Since the VCT just operates "on" or "off" is that needed?

Damnit you have confused me with your settings now Thanks for the quick reply though!

i am not sure about the 200hz thing, they appeared after going to the latest software.

Ok I just looked at mine and when I set it to "Cam Solenoid" I still have the same options as I did previously. There is no option for Frequency, Cam Type or Polarity like on yours

Maybe we have different versions or something, mine is 4.5.2.601 that the same as yours?

same version of the software.

lots of things it could be

- the firmware as my ecu is still running older firmware

- that save file is old (8 months old) and was saved from the older firmware.

- my work pc has also never been connected to my ecu

Ah ok cool. It appears the logic is the same behind both of our setups so should be sweet I'll go upload it into the car now.

give lucas a call he had mine set up in a few seconds.

definately goes better with it on

All good, my settings seemed to have done the job

On a fairly basic tune how noteable was the difference with the VCT on to off?

I see there is also a third input there to make switchable wooo

give it a go, just unplug the solenoid, on a fairly mild tune you lose a bunch of low rpm torque and it just feels lazy untill you get some revs up.

Im about to have my car hit the road with a fairly ordinary 3037 setup and a chipped 32 ecu, so I guess I am in for a fairly rude surprise LOL.
