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...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
