Walk510. Stop posting in this thread. Im not interested in a Motec and your posts are of no relevance to this thread. Your posts are also impossible to read.

Thank you.

What is the internal closed loop boost control like on the two ECUs?

Its great once you get it right. And, its exactly the same on both. VIpec=Link Link=Vipec..

dear kitto

your on a forum your asking peoples views and people are giving you there views i never said you should buy a motec i say you may like to compare them nothing more

who the hell is walk510? and why does his posts look like that? im not even going to bother reading his posts.

i never use the closed loop boost control, some people don't like change or can be bothered with it.

I'm not having a dig at you. I'm just saying, i'm not paying for a Motec. But you seem to keep going on about it.

I created this thread so i could learn what the differences are between the Vipec and the Link and which one would be better suited to my application.

Yes i'm aware the Motec probably has more functions and capabilities but they come with a very large price tag.

The Vipec and the Link seem like very powerful units and well priced for what they can do.

Ah, so you just use a separate controller like a Greddy Profec B?

Any reason you dont like to use the closed loop boost control?

Can you clarify? How much work is it to get it right? ($$$)

This has been an interesting read as my YB Cosworth needs a new ECU to replace its Pectel. I just dropped in to the Vipec forum and it seems there is still regular questions about boost control, traction control, comms to PC issues and some sensor issues.

It still seems to be the go for backyard boffins who are willing to work through little issues to get reliably working.\

It can be a little fiddly to get spot on, but once you find the sweet spot in the duty cycles its brilliant. Never have to worry about any boost spiking.

You dont HAVE to use closed loop. You can just use the normal open loop boost control on the link. There is zero need for a standalone boost controller.

The reason i was keen to use closed loop is because in NZ as you all are aware it gets quite chilly :) And when it gets cold, the boost goes up.. the open loop wasnt holding the boost down to the level i was happy to run in the cold weather. But with the closed loop, regardless of the conditions it will boost exactly what you want.

Also in my case on the track (Rb25 + GT30 .82 internal), when the exhaust temps were getting up it was spooling up VERY quickly. The closed loop was struggling a little bit there, but thats because the internal gate is stupid :P And i wasnt keen to spend big money to go external. So on the track i turned it off and just run wastegate boost. Still plenty fast enough ha.

Well this car is my daily and runs 26psi with an internal gate turbo so needs to be pretty good closed loop boost control as what is offered by the Pectel that it currently runs.(tuners and software for Pectel are few and far between)

Also, who is the cheapest V44 dealer ?

having spoken to a team member from NZ super tourer's team today i asked him about there ecu's

issues no data at all for 2 race meetings ,coms problems, engine temp sensor reading 110 deg C when it was really 80's due to faulty calibrations and there just a few

Issues like that are almost always wiring or user/setup issue rather than the ECU itself, they are pretty much all 100% the same, identical firmware, identical software, the only variables are the inputs going in and the setup/tuning of everything.

the temp issues were the whole pit lane i was told everyone was trying to get the engine to run cooler till they found it it was a faulty calibration ! rolls when your the control ecu of a series thats a bit of an issue

a tool is only as good as the person using it. and clearly you and your "team members" have not RTFM, or have any idea how to calibrate an ecu whatsoever.

take your hating elsewhere.

"my flex commodore wont work with diesel, holdens are rubbish mate, i had to remove it and put petrol back in it ahhhhuhhhh hehha heeeee"

idiot internet trolls, why do i bother.

Someone stuffed something up then, its not a problem with the ECU - you seem to be adding a lot to the thread without adding anything useful, what are you trying to achieve?

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

      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.
