Sorry Sydneykid for the late reply, as you asked i have been gathering infomation to back up my claim. From what i understand you work for a race car team, use motec in your race cars and are very knowlagable in you area. I am prepared for your critcism and happy to reply, as you keep the thread positive. unlike like the other dicks here.

The wolf is a better computer because

1. Price, compared to the motec of simliair features the motec would cost over $7000

2. Idle speed control

3. it is a true plug and play

4. from exprience the fuel delivery

5. does not need CDI modules to run the coils properly.

6. the wolf has 2048map points, motec 1048

my car is for real, sydneykid hope this is enough.

Hi Tristan, thanks for the post, responses follow;

1. My recollection of your quote was that the Wolf was the "best", I did not read anything about value for money. Obviously $7K is a grosslly inflated price, we have 4 Motecs with everything and the price never gets anywhere that for the ECU. We do have dashboards that cost that much, but that's a whole different ball game as the PI System 4 (the Motec equivalent) cost $17K.

2. I am sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by this, the M600 (for example) has pulse width modulated, stepper motor and fly by wire idle control capability. It has programable idle control for air con, cold start and run, power steering and electrical load compensation. It also has 14 programable outputs and 14 programable inputs, so you can do idle control and compensation for anything you like really.

3. I have had this discussion before with Steve, it is not "plug and play", you have to plumb the MAP sensor for a start.

4. We can argue back and forwards about which method of firing injectors is better than the other. The fact is that Motec (Autonic and Power FC amongst others) use the full sequential control, which is what every top level Motorsport team and the car manufacturers use. Whether it is LeMans, F1, V8Supercars, WRC cars or fuel ecomony record holders. They all get better performance and fuel economy out of that methodology.

5. I have never had a problem getting a Motec to run the standard coils. We have one car with the Motec CDI and Mercury outboard coils, but you have some way to go in the horsepower chase to get halfway to where that car is.

6. I have already responded to Steve's PM'd claims of more load points. It really depends on how you count them and what you count. The M600 we use has 2,600 load points for injection. This is what I told Steve, I was going to leave it at a PM exchange, because we could argue for days on this point alone and get nowhere. But you have opened it up for all, if I don't respond I will get 30 more PM's asking for the data anyway, so......

Main Table - 40 X 21 = 840

Individual cylinder tables - 20 X 11 X 6 = 1,320

Sub Total = 2,160

Then I could add the secondary injector tables

End Primary - 20 X 11 = 220

Start Secondary - 20 X 11 = 220

Total = 2,600

I am not sure where to take this from here, I could come back with 20 plus things the Wolf is deficient in compared to the Motec, without even even testing my brain. But what will it proove?

You guys are getting good results, so keep up the good work.:)

thank you syndeykid, i am currently getting 16/17.4 L/100km

Fuel pressure is 30psi and rises to 50psi under full boost.

what tyres and suspension setup will you be running? Nismo coilovers, (track spec) at this stage 225/50/16 RE55ES, when i become good enough that traction is an issue some DOT drag tyres

Wolf ECUs are cheap, get good results in drivability and power and have also passed emission tests in the many kit cars we do plus they are very adaptable very well garranted and reliable and updateable can run mAP or MAF and can run huge power without CDI or expencive coils and used by most of the fastest Skylines in WA and owners like Tristan like them and send their mates to get them and we sell $200000 worth year after year and even AEM strugle to keep supply up to us so wheres the problem?Not over here so best the knockers get over themselves but as they are just keyboarders they really cant do anything but sit and bag.Grow up!

Yadda Yadda Yadda...

I am amazed at your reasoning to justify things. Going by the units sold, I wonder where would (insert brand here) sit on the comparison...?

Wolf is Cheap - Check

Good results in drivability and power - Check

Adaptable and guaranteed - Check

Can run MAP or MAF - Check

Huge power without CDI or coils - Check

Used by most of the fastest skylines in WA - Check

Owners like Tristian like them and get their mates to get one - Check

You sell over $20000 worth each year - Check

AEM struggle to keep you supply - Check

WOW... That makes Wolf a very good ECU than don't it...? :confused:

For the record, noone is knocking Wolf here. That would be because, most of us don't know much about them to make a comment.

How about you tell us what really sets Wolf apart from the rest, or if it lacks any features by outside chance.

my 20c still believe the APEXI pfc dollar for dollar is the best plug and play on the market running car from std cars to cars like the 8 sec apexi drag car not bad versatity if you ask me ,the only complain i have heard peolpe speak of is the use of afms ,which they now do a unit which nolong requires them but it took me all of two hours to built and fit suitable afms and piping and ecu and hand control i landed for $1330 and took a 2 hour tune on the dyno, I'm currently running 500hp at the wheels on adrenlines dyno (600hp+ at PAS at a guess lol) so i find it hard to look pass such an option.

yeah most likely but rubber is my main problem (traction) anyone one at drag wars can tell you that and the clip is on the antilag web site .You can hear all 4 gear changes by the tyre slip squieling and plus it was my second time to a drag trip of any type, but it will be back some where down the road depending on work to see wot a bit of traction could do for me.

I not shore whos jades is ,is that got boost the rb26 r32 gts on slicks(only a question)

Jade has the blue 33GTR with tripspoke white rims (last time i saw it).. was at Drag Combat earlier this year but not the recent Drag Wars

ok cool i saw it at drag combat

but obvisously(or not) there must be a difference between running a 11.1 like jades 430hp and running a 10.74 like anthony 680hp or you would think it wouldnt take so much more hp to get a high ten.

so i think mph is a good indication hp and eta an indication of setup and driver ?

or am i wrong (only a question)

i just dont understand why people spend $500-800 on a good exhaust and dont even blink but then can't part with th money when it comes to something like coils or injectors???

So what if it does the power on stock injectors, why would you want to, ther are cheap in relevance to everything else you have modified to get to that power level??? Let me get this right,

turbo and associated piping- $2000

ECU and Install- $2500

Intercooler, exhaust, cams, cam gears and other assciated good- $2000

Expecting your engine to last at high power levels with piss poor 370cc injectors,

PRICELESS.

There are some things money can't buy, but injectors shouldnt be one of them...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
