Question on Wolf 3D

Hey Guys

This is my first proper thread and i was wondering if you could help me out. My 95 GTST came with a wolf 3d v4 that was once hooked up but then taken out due to the coils breaking down. Im getting some new coils soon and just got some questions.

First question: Does the wolf retain its memory even after power has been disconnected?

If not leads me into my second question

Second question: I was wondering if anyone else has had a wolf 3D tuned in the Sydney area and are happy with the results and would recommend their tuner.

Thats all i can think of now. Appreciate anyones help :P

The wolf certainly wont lose its memory. You have to make changes via the controller or laptop in order for this to happen and this wont happen by accident. Get some new coils, try to start it, dont boot it cause you dont know of the previous tune, whether it was done by a numbskull or someone as skillful as Matt Spry. So best take it for a dyno run to make sure A/F ratios are safe. Small bother, but could save you big dollars if there is something wrong. Contrary to many people's opinions, the Wold3dv4 is a very good unit and I run one in my car. Plus its affordable.

Thanks for that. Will do. I ve had it sittin round for a while now and getting keen for it to get hooked up . Do you reckon i should just drive stock ecu to tuner and get them to put it on the dyno and get them to hook it up. Or is there a way to check the a/f ratios without putting it on the dyno :confused: . Take into consideration i know nothing about tuning etc. I mean will it come up on the hand controller. Where abouts is Matt Spry located. :rant:

Matt Spry is located on the Gold Coast in Ernest. If you need his number, ask me and I can give it to you.

I would have your car towed to a reputable tuner as driving on the Wolf start map was impossible for me and who knows what damage you could do to your engine by running it on an unknown map. You can get cheap A/F ratio meters but they're not accurate. The wolf actualy has function for this now. So you can do it this way and this should be quite accurate. It should be good enough to get your car up and running if you know how to and are risking to tune it on the road (read dangerously stupid). Bite the bullet, take it to the dyno first up, save yourself a lot of hassle and trust me that you'll be one happy chappy when your car goes hard after the tune and you alive and have your licence.

Thanks for the replys 180bfj20det. I probably should have mentioned that its is running the standard ecu atm so im just getting around on that. Matt Spry is located in Gold Coast. Thats a bit far for me im in newcastle but i will do some searches and try to find some good tuners in sydney (ones that other people would recommend). Not too keen for anyone in newcastle heard and read a few posts and most people say their pretty sh1t. Coils should be here in a couple of days finger crossed. :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
