i thought we were comparing the wire-in ECU's? if so, both do low impedance injectors, so to the OP, no there is no difference in that regard. And i don't think e-throttle is going to be an issue for you, but i haven't checked if the xtreme can handle e-throttle.

The board in the G4 Plug-in storm is the same as the board in the xtreme, but the g4 storm wire in ecu is different,and only has 4x injector drives,so if your running a G4 storm wire in on a 6 cylender then you can only run the injectors in batch fire.

Yes, keep it to the V88 and the Extreme. All others are useless to me.

No i dont need electronic throttle, i've deleted it on my NEO. Track control pfft, Load dependant boost control solves that issue.

I'm driving Xspurt injectors which are 12 ohms anyway. No problem there.

You tune both of these ECU's a lot by the sounds of it. A few questions.

What i'm doing is setting up my car so that the ECU reads all sensors, Fuel pressure, Boost Pressure, Oil Pressure x 2 (1x at the oil pump and 1x at the engines main gallery, Fuel Temperature, Oil Temperature, Coolant Temperature, IAT etc.

Now what i'm wanting to do is set up the ECU to switch on or off outputs depending on the above conditions versus another condition.

IE. RPM vs Oil Pressure (oil pump sensor) . If oil pressure is 25 psi or above @ 2,000 RPM, condition is normal. (I'll have several points mapped accross the rev range - IE 4,000RPM - 50psi oil pressure and so on). IF the oil pressure drops below its set point at given RPM then an output on the ECU will fire, enabling a warning lamp and the accusump's electronic valve (preventing oil starvation). Also if RPM is below 300RPM, the output is always on (For engine pre-lubing via the accusump).

The second oil pressure sensor will be the same as above, apart from the fact i'd have it switch a different output or cut the engine, or rev limit. Something along those lines.

Another setup i'll be doing is Boost pressure vs Fuel Pressure. Ratio will be 1:1, for instance if i have a boost pressure of 20PSI, i should have a fuel pressure of 63.5PSI, if the fuel pressure drops too far at this level i would like to have the ECU go into rich and retard. Can these both do rich and retard?

I'll also be doing a few other tricky bits and pieces, but these two are the big ones i want to get under way.

Can they both do above?

Just to clear the air;

from the link website:

History:

Link was one of the very early market entrants twenty years ago. 2010 witnessed a turn-around in the market perception of the Link name thanks to the technical excellence of its product. The launch of the ViPEC brand has seen a new product pitched against high end competitors with outstanding results. Continued clear and unambiguous differentiation is further required to propel the ViPEC name higher

who is going to propel vipec to great heights now since ray has retired and dirtgarage is banned ?

Still laugh about how hard dirt pushed vipec thrashed the rest then ended up with the gold box anyway. I guess the superior idle didn't matter on a drag car after all. Anyone know if his rebuilt the mercury 34gtr 26 recently? Lol

Motec has been the ecu for many motorsport applications but the Link G4 Extreme is now being used by the new NZ Supertourer series:

http://www.linkecu.com/newsfromlink/v8-supertourers-are-go

The M84 is a versatile, race-bred ECU that is suitable for a broad range of high performance applications, including engines with up to 8 cylinders. It also suits rotary engines with twin, triple or quad rotors.

This new, entry level ECU is based on the advanced technology in MoTeC's benchmark M800, with a package of features to suit more moderate system requirements. It includes on-board Wideband Lambda plus 512 kB of data logging memory as standard.

Now with Nitrous Injection and 100 Hz max logging rate.

Install it as a stand-alone ECU or as part of a complete motorsport-ready engine management and data acquisition solution.

and about $2500

I'm sure Paul would love to continue his crusade if the mods would reinstate his account...hell, that la bumba idiot's been hit with the ban stick about half a dosen times and his still on here.

But i dont know the history and that decision is for the mods....now back on topic..

Interesting ideas. If this can be set-up, i'm sure guilt toy knows how to do it, but have you spoken to your tuner directly as to whether they are confident to do it?

Also, have you considered the haltech - from memory it has accepts all of those inputs, although its a little pricey aswell.

Edited by wedge_r34gtr

Huh, Paul from Red R Racing (swiper the fox) has been banned on here? What the??

Haltech, meh, my tuner says they are limited with what they can do, limited inputs and outputs.

He said for what i want to do, they are too limited and not configurable enough.

A few of the track RB30s have the Link watching for lack of oil pressure. I bought a high quality 0-150 psi pressure sensor from Rips (they are widely available) and my G4 will be loaded with minimum oil pressures for each gear and cut the engine if they are not maintained. There was a video on U tube of a GTST with an RB30 and you could hear it stuttering at a couple of points at Hampton Downs as the oil surges away from the pickup. No doubt it can be made to switch an accusump. My plug in G4 has spare inputs - The wire in Extreme will have more as well as more computing power.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
