New Plug-in Ecu Coming

[R34GTFOUR]

Hi, Paul Ruzic here. I designed and built the EM PRO II and RaceLogger. I will happily discuss the technical specs of the unit but cannot discuss pricing or availability as per forum rules.

The EM PRO II was originally designed as a stand alone unit, then dirtGarage made the introduction to Ray Hall and the ViPEC ECU. So now if you have a Vi-PEC you can plug it in and reallocate all the normal inputs the EM PRO II already has to other channels expanding its monitoring capability.

Technical Features:

6 analog input channels

Engine RPM input

Vehicls speed input

Remote data page push button

Remote alarm acknowledgement push button input

2 Stage shiftlight output

Warning light output

Alarm buzzer output

Auxillary output for a relay triggered by RPM or Speed or for PWM electric water pump speed control.

Serial data output for loggint with the RaceLogger

Serial data connection to the Vi-PEC ECU

The EM PRO II has 5 data used to show details of each individual data channels that are being monitored. Each of the pages can be configured to show up to four input channels at at time. An optional remote input button mounted within easy reach of the driver can be used to scroll between the pages.

Each monitored channel can have a "greater then" and a "less than" value assigned to them. The alarm situation can trigger the warning light / buzzer or both.

The proiority of the alarms can be set so the most important alarms are always at the top.

Up to three alarms can be seen on the screen at once.

The alarms can be set to hold for a minimum time so they are never missed or to not clear until acknowledged.

To ensure oil pressure is maintained through the rev range, the EM PRO II has two additional oil pressue points that are set referenced to RPM.

Without a Vi-PEC you can piggyback signals from the ECU (so far we have done units in cars running Motech, Haltech, Autronic, PowerFC) and also provide addtional sensors for signals ECU's don't usually support such as Oil Pressure, Oil Temp etc. With a Vi-PEC you can still add up to 6 additional channels using extra sensors.

Vi-PEC Channels Supported

Knock - also allows option to alarm knock against the Knock target table

MAP

MGP

Injectory Duty

Injector Duty (stg)

Temp 4

Volt 2

Volt 3

Volt 4

Volt 5

Volt 6

Volt 9

Volt 10

Volt 11

When connected to the Vi-PEC data logging is performed with the Vi-PEC ECU. When stand alone the EM PRO II can be connected to the RaceLogger to add to the logging capabilities of the RaceLogger.

The EM PRO II has external Shift lights / warning lights and a large alarm buzzer for optimim setup for racing. The external page select / alarm acknowledge buttons also allow for driver convienient mounting for racing.

I have to also thank guys like Paul, Darren, Duncan, Mick, Noel, Gervase, Simon, Danh, Cam, Mark, Mitch, Pierce and others (you know who you are) who have supported this product through development and testing.

Thats the quick overview of the unit. I almost have a brochure ready (thanks Cam) which will detail all the information.

Hi,

I've already purchased a vipec for my r34, so if i purchase one of these EM PRO's does it need an additional oil pressure sensor to get a oil pressure reading (ie it can't use the same one that the stock dash uses?) if not, will a signal from an aftermarket electronic oil pressure gauge such as an apexi etc work instead?

[MountainRunner]

The sensors used by the dash are not usually the best. You can tap into other sensors such as the Apexi as I allow the user to enter any calibration data they want. You just need the calibration data for that particular sensor. If you PM me the sensor details I can check if I already calibration data for it. Else you can get new sensors, which are not very expensive.

Thanks for the reply, i havent bought any gauges yet, thats probably one of the last things i'll get before the build. Any particular electronic gauge brands that you know will work with this dash? Just to keep things neat, if i could get away with running only the one aftermarket sensor that would be good.

[MountainRunner]

It will work with any gauge, you just have to sniff the signal line. The problem is the calibration data.

With the Dash you don't really need gauges as well as all the info is shown on the Dash and if something goes out of range you get an alarm.

Having said that, if you really want a particular gauge I can calibrate the sensor if you send it to me and add the data to a public library for others.

Here is the brochure and specification sheets that Cam has done for the product (thanks Cam)

I'm looking into buying one. Can someone clear one thing for me.

1) Can I use the LINK dash with the plug-in board ? Or I have to get a V88?

2) If I go with V88, is there a plug and play adapter for the RBs ? r32 socket ? (they have one for supra)

3) Is it possible to use LINK G4 plug in adapters ? Or the pin out is different ? Haven't looked at that yet. Just and idea.

Thanks!

[Adriano]

How does the Plug and play go about running map with the multi throttles, does it run tps/map load sensing?

[CeJay]

Anyone else had issues on cold start? twice now after not starting the car for 9 days or so, the idle was quite bad, car would not idle for 30'secs or so. Havent hooked the laptop up to the car when I've done this though. Car idles fine if I drive it every few days.

How do you guys hook up the switch for the clutch and what did you use?

[Fastrotor]

Just a note for those running an RB25DET or similar , where you get timing off the Primary loop at the ignitor.

I noticed i had to change the offset alot on the G4 to get the timing to the 0 mark when aligning ...... Guilttoy was the same it seems ......

And maps took a fair amount more timing on boost. tried several timing lights to confirm and seemed all good.

However tonight i timed it off the coil directly with a short custom lead i made up for testing coilpacks...... And low and behold it was close to 10 degrees retarded !!

So i retimed off the coil and then pulled same timing out of top end maps......

I guess it wont make a diff to top end power, but low end might if your used to running a certain timing and didnt up it ....

Anyway, for your info........... and for guilttoy to check !

factory clutch switch with a 12v feed into it and then into a DI input on the ecu. don't remember which way it works clutch in for 12v or 0v but that's all changeable in the ecu

[9krpm]

Thanks Titan.

I thought it would be that simple but just wanted to double check

[Dal34]

Currently tossing up between this ECU and the Haltech Platnum ECU for my R34 at the moment..

do you guys tune many HALTECH's? if so we are finalising some sweet tuning aids for it as the STD 2d tuning interface is pretty poor.

I heard The Dirtman did a top job installing the Vi-Pec in this awesome car! Well Done Mate

[The Dan]

So they changed out the AEM for the Vipec now?

Gonzo was raving to me about how good the AEM was. Good testament to the Vipec if they run a faster time. Any ideas what times they've put down?

The stickers on that car will tell a thousand words, look carefully. Installed by a very capable tuner and his sidekick

That was a rhetorical question.

I saw the sticker on the tail, probably shouldn't have put the question mark, but my unforgiving need to be grammatically correct overrides my need to be easy to understand, if that makes sense.

I am aware of his skill, not sure why you pointed that out.

I was merely making a statement that an already impressive car used to run an AEM, now it runs the ViPEC. It will be a good testament to the ViPEC if that car can then do better times as a result.

[Guilt-Toy]

When it races next i guess we will see.
