Hi its been a while since I have posted here about 3 years ago I bought a Wolf 3d ver 4 plugin ecu all I had was a base tune on it and I was never happy with it so I fitted the stock ecu back into the car. I have hardly driven it since approx 2500kms in the last 3 years due to not having the money to go further.

Recently I have saved my money purchased a new turbo from hypergear and I also sent my spare head to Lewis engines and had it flowed with new valves, springs, retainers new steam pipe exhaust manifold with GM LS3 coil paks. I still have the wolf in the cupboard but im not holding much hope with that one the new turbo I purchased has a 3 inch inlet and im sure there would be problems with the air flow meter or id have to lie to the ecu when getting it tuned. I have found a couple of ecu's at a very good price but I would like to get some feedback on them especially from some people that have actually had them in there car as I live quite a long way from any tuner and my other car which is a CHARADE is incapable of towing the vehical to the tuners and I have 2 quotes from towing companies to take it to Sydney at around $500.00 plus dollars .

The ECU ;s that I have found are Haltech E8 which has a tune on it and I could get it to the tuners with it. The other is a Haltech E11 v2 with no tune on it and I would really like to get a Computer that is easy to find a shop that can tune it I really would like to be able to upload and download tune files to my laptop so I could have a couple of files that I could use different tunes and also have a map sensor instead of AFM.

What are your thoughts on this as I am about to move premises and I will be even further from any dyno tune shops

thanks

Sam

Vipec/Link are the new thing. I have a Link and I'm very happy with it

It all really depends on what your tuner likes/tunes/sells etc. Probably best to have a chat with whoever is tuning it about it, see what they think. Mention Link or Vipec (or both) and see what they say. I don't have much experience with Haltech but from what I've read some people seem to love them, were as others think they are crap. I havent found alot of negative feedback about the Link/Vipec's. I'm a bit biased, I like the features mine has but anyway

I had a mate with a Wolf 3D in his R32, seemed to perform fine and ran a MAP sensor. But I don't know alot about them. The place he worked at sold them, so he got it cheap and tuned it himself so he obviously was happy with it. But apart from that they don't seem to be real popular

V4 or v4 Plus?

Youy really need the Plus version to get the ability to run the indvidual coils. If you want, I can send you a map from mine - it should make the car driveable enough that you can get it to the tuner's.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
