R32 Gtr Exhaust Temp Light

[jnrevo]

Hi all.

Ok. Just a short dicribtion about my car.

R32 gtr with a 26/30 engine with 2871-10's and a ViPec plug in.

This light is under the ABS light. It has what look like an exhaust pic and 3 wavily line above it.

This light only come on when I'm on high boost (19-24psi). But I can track it all day on low boost (15-17psi) and it will never come on. It only stay on for about 1-2 seconds. It go off when i take my foot of the accelerator. It does the same thing on both 98pulp and e85 tune. It did not come on when it was on the dyno.

So I just wanna know if it is an exhaust temp and is it had for my car?

I'm pretty new to the whole gtr thing.

Thank you for the help.

just unplug it (its in the CAT)

serve no purpose in a modified car

I fact with a 26/30 and I'm assuming an aftermarket exhaust, I'm surprised it's still installed. As nismoid said, unplug it from the loom, it's there to protect the stock cat convertor. Not needed

That is good to know. I'll try unplugs it and hope for the best.

Thanks guys.

lol in a 32 thats the engine light!

i dunno what the go is with the vipec but with powerfc that can serve as a 'knock light' on the dash.

the fact that its coming on, only under high boost, only when youre giving it stick points to a few things...

I believe it doesn't come on till after 400C. It's really just to let you know the exhaust is hot enough to ignite grass. But it can serve a purpose on a modified car though, it could be that your cat might have collapsed or partially blocked. Though with those mods listed and the light not coming on at the track or the dyno, it just could mean your tune or specifically the low-mid (cruise) areas of your tune are lean.

As Femno said, that's also your check engine light.

Better see if your ecu is using that function.

vipec use that cat light as a check engine light, so what ever alerts your tuner has set up to trigger the light. Could be anything from overboost, watertemp etc... By the sounds of it most likely overboost. Speak to your tuner about it.

I brought the car with the computer already in it. Rigoli only tune it for E85. He did not see thelight come on on the dyno. I don't know who wire the computer up. But it is a plug in so it should be what ever ViPec wired it up as. I might have to call up ViPec to see if they can help.

Theres a few things that can bring the engine light on if its been setup. I think from factory the vioec plugin brings the light on when the coolant temp gets up to 110

[jnrevo]

Nah. Temp never get pass 90 degrees. It not that

[jnrevo]

incase anyone want to know the answer to this.

That light is a warning light from the ECU.

It for over temp and over boost. It can be adjust to what ever you want.

Speak to Scott from Insight about it.

Thanks for the help.
