im with rb20lagwagon, i have just been watching in the background....

perth is the only place where wolf is used so much....and its mainly because of SST and ants power beast :D

i realise wolf is still a huge upgrade and its good for the price but is there better options? why are people all over the eastern states not heading down this track?

LagWagon, You can individually trim the injectors to run richer on 5 and 6.

Fane, You obviously don't listen very hard, Wolf was huge well before Ant. But I agree is is good that both ND4SPD and GTAAH both use wolf and make over 650rwhp each:D

IMACUL8, MOTEC is good, but $8k for a decent setup, even John Munro doesn't think it was worth it;)

I'd have to say from what i have seen. Get a R32 Rb20 and then rom the sucker !!!

Cost you about the same

Wolf installed and tuned = $2k

RB20 R32 = $2000

ROM = $500

Sell old Engine = - $1000

Install bits = $500

total = $2000

You will end up with a MUCH better motor, more power, better economy etc etc etc .......

What are you really gaining by running the wolf exactly ???

If you insist on staying with the NICS, get an AFC ... cheap and done !!

8K my ass Paul ......

Paul - I strongly disagree that Wolf was huge before recent times - hell from people I talked to the early Wolfs per a piece of shit - its only since the V4 has come out that they have gained any respectablity.

IMACUL8, Price it up:D Once you have all the options you require to run at a level that ND4SPD is, it is about $8k. Wolf V4 had been out for quite a while before Ant put on in ND4SPD, and alot of Skyline owners were already choosing to use it.

Bah to aftermarket ecu's

There are so many people around the world running fast on factory ecu's and having daily drivers its not funny.

So why then do people even consider a wolf ......

Is it because factory ecu has no hand controller ?? is it about the rice ??

Yes in this guys case rom not availbe for NICS but like i said get a r32 rb20 better all round and can rom :P.

Arguing about which Engine Management is better (Autronic *cough* :P ) is a little off topic... But results speak for themselves...

I'm certainly impressed with the 1.8L Honda making 775HP @ flywheel...

Personally i would research what you need and what you can afford and what you want to do with your car and go from there... Personally i went with Autronic because it had all the features i wanted... And also if and when i get time i can finish developing the digial dash i started... :rolleyes:

Propoganda aside time

Back on subject

No matter how good your efi is ....... your hardware is a turd

for the same dollars get a 32 eccs rb20 then safc or rom tune it

the nics has too many draw backs and theres no point sending good money after bad

On Topic: MrMayhem:werd:

Off Topic: Paul, i listen quite fine thats why im asking questions....

The biggest promoter for anything in terms of mods whether it be a turbo, a set of injectors or an ecu is that fact that someone else has already got it setup.

With a test car like ND4SPD putting out huge ponies and times down the 1/4 always in the spotlight....its easy to promote the wolf because everyone goes well Ant runs it in his car....

"If ant can do it with a wolf why cant I?"

The question that i want answered is all the people that chose ecu's before ant and all the people that dont know of ND4SPD(eastern staters) why didnt they choose Wolf? and why do perth's other top cars not have wolf's? whether it be the speedworks gtr with an hks f-con or gt51r with the autronics...

Had autronics, now ask yourself why it doesn't and now runs a Wolf.

Some of the eastern state guys are starting to run them, but there are plenty of good ECU's about, just have to have the right tuner.

hhahah Paul - and now its got a Wolf, ask hoim why he swapped it. And i hear the new r32 will have a motec ..... hmmmm so ask yourself. ;->

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
