I checked out the article on the GTSt's and they all differed greatly. Basically if you want the best source of info on doing up a GTSt, you are here. A magazine (or even most workshops) can't complete with the vast combined experience of a forum like this. If you read that article, most of those places were trying to shove there own (mostly expensive) products down your throat.

Yes, Grant at Per4manz has the Wolf 3D controlling his auto:D

I got in contact with Wolf regarding there ECU's controlling the auto, anyway this what I got back.

What I asked:

I have a R33 GTS-T Skyline Auto and was wondering if your Version 4 plus plugin can be hooked up to and control the Auto Transmission?

Reply:

We have had people run the Wolf on R33 auto's, we are not controlling the auto trans.  I have not heard back a response about how the auto trans works without ecu control.

Then I replied back:

Thanks for the reply, this is something I'll be keeping my eye on, as far as I knew the Auto needed input signals from the ecu for it to work probably (to change up and down gears etc.) that's why you can't use ecu's like the Power FC.

I know of one customer who has used the plugin R33 ECU that we make on an auto R33.  I don't think they have had any problems.  The car does change gear, it was driven from our factory.

Now I'm bloody confused, so if the Wolf3D isn't controlling the Auto then what is? Does it really need to be controlled by the ECU?:confused:

Any body else got any ideas?

    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
