But only has 4 ignition drivers unless you want to get a V88.

Hopefully haltech will release more plug and play models

I do not know how the ignition outputs work but there is a plugin model for both the R33 and R34 skyline.

the plugin model runs wasted spark (two coils fire at once) i have not had any issues with this setup as of yet.

Our street/circuit GTR runs a plug-in...over 600hp (24psi) at all four and pulls harder than a one armed 15 year old with a stack of porno's.

Hi guys, I'm using a plug in VIPEC in my R32 GTR for 3 months now and since the install there's been an intermittent problem with my Atessa which brings up the code for TPS fault. I've read a post somewhere by someone saying that this problem had happened and was possibly caused by the ECU creating a voltage drop (also with an Autronic) and the correction was a voltage buffer or some sort. Could anyone get into detail about what the fix is? I'm getting tired of losing my AWD mid corner on a hard drive and having to turn the car off to reset the Atessa..... Please help.

I'm only running 302whp at the moment but building for 500whp this winter and I can't have the chances of intermittent traction loss. Thanks guys.

Check your TPS is correctly adjusted and tightened firmly...the plug-in boards have never had an ATESSA issue...only the V88 when running the early harness adaptor.

Thanks! I'll check it out. I didn't know it was only the V88. Was hoping it was any of them lol. Back to the head scratching...

Can anybody recommend a distributor that I can contact to purchase one of these ECU's from??

The distributor local to me is one that I wont go to for seperate reasons and being in TGassie makes it hard to shop around some.

I am looking for somebody who can supply an ECU with a base tune already in it so we only need to fine tune it to my car.

Would like to have this in a and running before christmas.

Speak to Brett West at Adelaide Performance Engineers (Graham West Workshops) see what he can do.

I was in Burnie a few months ago, nice little town!

Curious to know what message do people get when they hook up their ecu to their laptop for the first time? Ie when it's asking to install the drivers? Vi-pec are sorting out an issue with my ecu, but curious to know what peoples ecu's come up as.

Mine says found new hardware "Link G4 Extreme"...lol

So sounds like it should recognise it as a link?

hmm mine wont connect to my laptop running vista (cant find the drivers, ive tried multiple reinstalls on the laptop), and comes up saying link electrosystems ECU, but getting a new top board from VIPEC so will see if that sorts out my issues. It connected fine with my old xp laptop, but will not work under vista. And will also will now not connect under my other laptop running xp.

CeJay...my last post was supposed to be funny...sorry you missed it. Have you checked the vi-pec forum for answers?

Yes I have, and hopefully it's getting sorted, getting a replacement top board from Ray, because my ecu doesn't come up as a vipec, it comes up as a link. Was genuinely interested to see what other peoples ecu's register as.

And here i was trying to be funny and i was on the money.

We tried reflashing a Link with the Vi-pec firmware to test the theory that the hardware was the same...it didn't work. We tried flashing it back and it wouldn't work back as a Link...we killed it! Link sent us another one to replace it.

    • Shove more foam in it as a minimum if you possibly can. Or steel wool (not the stuff with soap on it!) Baffles / getting the oil out of the air is huge, and should be done at both the cam cover, and the catch can.   I'm about to do a power steering reservoir, and even that needs some thought to make sure air is separated from the oil, to stop evil Cavitation. I'll probably look at doing my own catchcan later on too.
    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
