Hey guys, my mate is buying a Vl Turbo with Rb20det.

It has a few mods (fmic, exhaust, boost), nothing over the top, and runs a Wolf 3d ecu.

From what I've read it's a plug n play unit.

What I'd like to know is if it plugs into my harness, will it run (i know not perfect until its tuned) and is there any difference between the vl rb20 and r32 rb20?

How much do these go for 2nd hand?

VL didnt come with a rb20det did it?

When they put the rb20into it depending if they used the rb20det harnes or the original one for the rb30 the plugs might be different not sure not a holden type of guy.

But if its tuned for his, and plugs straight into yours should work pretty well, as long sa you have pretty much the same mods as your mates car.

Basically if the VL is running a RB20DET motor, which would be out of an R32 or CEFIRO most likely.

To run the RB20DET its most likely running the RB20DET loom, which would mean that the WOLF would most likely be a plug and play unit suited to RB20 loom.

I also have a WOLF plug and play which is suited to RB20/25, as the loom plugs are the same?

I have also seen LINK ECU's which plug into RB20/25/30 looms.

It would be safe to assume that it would plug into your R32, but would just require a retune.

Thanks guys, I knew they werent factory lol...

Just gotta see how much he wants.

I just bought a plug and play WOLF3d unit for RB20/25, send me a PM and I will give you some details and pricing.

Any Wolf plugin ECU can run any engine you want.Any good tuner can setup the software and if needed swap over wires etc.

I fitted an R33 GTS Wolf plugin to 13B Mazda using the nissan plug and rewiring.If its V500 then its even easyer.Ring Robbie at Wolf for help.

Thats very interesting!

Will have to keep that in mind for future references.

Thats the good thing with WOLF plug and play unit. Even though they are plug and play, they don't automatically default back to a base map when disconnected, for instance to a RB20DET map.

I think the old MICROTECH'S (MT8?), when disconnected from power for a period of time when default back to the base map. If you wanted to change that base map the unit had to go to MICROTECH to get reprogrammed!

NZ VL's had a RB20E in them.

there meant to be great to drive!

I hear some cuzzy bro nearly got his up to 90 a few years back!

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
