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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
