Vipec V88 Vs Link G4 Extreme Wire In

[gotRICE?]

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

if you cant handle someone s views maybe ring someone

these threads are just like a vipec bukkake session

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?

Motec bukkake sessions that drizzle HTML all over his posts.

Its great once you get it right.

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 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 ?

[Guilt-Toy]

they should all be the same price

[gotRICE?]

It will work fine, its just a bit on the dodgy side on mine at times because the GT3076R .82 internal is not quite up to the task.

[Guilt-Toy]

hell no, i use open loop.

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

[gotRICE?]

Faulty calibration is hardly the fault of the ECU. That could be user input or a failed sensor.

[Rolls]

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.

[Walk510]

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

[kitto]

Walk510 what ECU are you talking about?

You seen like a real hater...

[Guilt-Toy]

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?
