Hey dude,

I have been looking into this unit myself and it seems to be a very decent piece of kit, at a very attractive price point too!

They have released plug-in versions for popular cars such as 'S' series nissans, R33's, WRX's etc. These are a full replacement ECU that can be tuned by a optional hand controller or laptop with appropriate software. The good thing about having the hand controller is that it can display all sorts of info about the car.

Check out www.wolfems.com.au for more.

An explaination of why you dont like it (version 4, not 3.) would be appreciated. :D

Nothing against Formaz Got Boost, but their name since changing ownership has not been the best.

I would be interested in seeing why they do not like the V4...more tuning resolution, faster processor etc, surely that would make it a better product. Maybe they don't like the laptop interface???

I am definitely going for the Wolf V4 plug & play for the R32 GTR.

As you know, I got to know the PFC very well on my old S15. The unit has some great pros, however one of the biggest cons was that there is no temperature correction.

Detonation was much more evident during the summer months and during the day. As you only have the choice of only one set of "custom" maps or the factory (default) maps, this means that you either run a conservative map in the cold weather, or have to spend a fair bit of time remapping for summer/daytime performance runs.

The PFC also uses MAF (airflowmeter) rather than MAP. This is not really a problem in terms of flow restrictions as you can bolt on a big Z32 meter (or a pair of the suckers for an RB26). Don't know which option I will use for the GTR as I have heard that the 6 throttle bodies don't give a stable MAP reading.

Yep - he knows his Wolf systems pretty well and is bloody patient when it comes to ironing out "gremlins" when tuning.

Guess I'm biased towards Grant/Steve after the huge effort that they put in on the S15 and they didn't even supply the ECU.

There should be a few Version 4 installations running around now and I will be speaking to some of the guys that have gone this route.

BTW - Jash has landed that blue V-Spec. Drop by there and give me a first hand report if you are ever in the area.....

PFC does have temp correction (Lamda) BTW.

I'm not sure what you're referring to.

PFC generally uses only the existing sensors. On the SR20 motors there is no measure of air intake temp, therefore the PFC cannot correct for this. I don't think the RB motors have this either.

Lamda refers to the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7 and is not directly related to temp correction. The PFC does use the O2 meter for closed loop (cruise) mode.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
