were selling for 1650

hoping to have the 1st few installed and tuned next week

i am hoping for the install THIS WEEK i have been waiting a week now and no contact about when it can be installed and tuned if it dont happen soon i will be wanting a refund.

a bit of communication would go a long way

according to my disto features on plug in are as per v44

so antilag is option

launch control is std

You mean you have to pay more for antilag?

WTF is this shit?

It's a piece of code, they should just f**king add it!

can someone confirm that antilag is an option? so you'd have to pay more for it? how much if so..

Just went and saw my tuner last night I am having a V88 installed on my R33 GTR.

So far has just tuned for idle and cold start and I am already impressed. Punch the throttle and it goes back to idle smoothly, sits on about 800rpm and sounds great. Software looks good too, really easy to understand.

A day or so on the dyno now and hopefully I will get it back. Excited!

Welcome to MOTEC

and in the blink of an eye the Autronic jumps lightyears ahead...

seriously though, paul can you confirm this?

also will they 'communicate' with the AIM dashes? like the haltech/autronic ecus do?

i might just ring mark in the morning

I've been running the Nissan plug-in ViPEC on my R32 GTR for a couple of weeks and couldn't be happier. I sold my PFC including datalogit and Nismo MAFs for a bit less than I paid for the ViPEC and my car runs much better.

I first installed my PFC on an OEM build and had absolutely no complaints. The car idled well, pulled hard, gave me all the control of fueling and ignition timing I needed. I added 264/265 x 9.7 mm cams and a set of GT2860R-5 turbos and everything was still great. Added HKS dumps, had some fairly extensive exhaust porting done and raised compression ratio to about 8.7:1 and couldn't get the PFC to control idle consistently. Part throttle shuffle was interfering with my life as well and could not be tuned out.

Slightly off topic rant. Skip unless you're interested in why MAP>MAF sometimes...

Root cause is that the MAF transfer function is nonlinear, and the PFC adds the raw voltages BEFORE it applies the transfer function. Oscillating airflow therefore appears to be oscillating load and the PFC changes fueling and spark accordingly. This feeds the shuffle and results in an unstable situation. If you could apply the transfer function to each MAF signal and THEN add them, the system wouldn't go unstable.

Back to the ViPEC... It uses the factory CAS without any drama. The tuning went very smoothly with autotune every 500 rpm on the dyno making short work of fueling tweaks. (Innovate wideband feeds an aux channel for great accuracy and response time) We only layered on one more dimension to manage the differing fuel needs for part throttle vs WOT at a given engine speed and boost level. The car pulls nicely from the basement right to redline.

The tune is pretty conservative running 10.5:1 at 17 psi in the higher rpm cells. More timing could be fed in as well, but the lack of knock control, or even indication of knock, makes me want to run conservatively until I get a handle on this. By the time you hear it from the driver's seat it's pretty bad... Don't want to go there.

Anyhow, here's what my setup looks like with the dyno numbers.

Cheers,

Dan

VEHICLE: 1989 GT-R

ENGINE: RB26DETT, 88mm bore, CR=8.7:1

MILEAGE: 127xxx Kms

OIL/WATER PUMP: Nismo/OEM

OILING SYSTEM: Tomei Orifice, Tomei pan baffle, Greddy oil cooler and filter relocation

INJECTORS: 600cc Nismo

FUEL SYSTEM: Bosche 044 in-tank

TURBO SETUP: twin GT2860R-5

MAP or MAF's: MAP

INTAKE SETUP: Apexi Power intake

INTERCOOLER: OEM

VALVETRAIN: JUN 264/264 9.7 mm lift - adjustable gears

HEAD WORK: Intake mildly ported and left rough, exhaust opened up about 15% and polished, combustion chamber polished

EXHAUST: HKS dumps, Tomei DP, 85 mm HKS Priest

BOOST LEVEL: 1.2 bar = 17 psi - Blitz Dual SBC Type R

ECU SETUP: ViPEC Speed Density

CLUTCH: ORC series 700 twin

COOLING: Greddy aluminum rad with electric fan

DYNO:

Note linear torque increase from a respectable 150 ft.lbs @ 2500 to a slingshot-like 325 ft.lbs @4300 rpm, relatively flat plateau to about 6500 rpm and only modest drop in torque up to 7500. This is without any cam timing tweaks and with everything pretty darn warm.

The car feels very alive on the road and willing to rev til you shift. :drive:

Nice conservative tune intended to let me have a ton of fun without making rebuilds my hobby.

HP: 390

TQ: 330

Gary,

Which workshop is doing the tuning?

did they quote how much it cost to tune it?

Cheers

i dropped it off to Alistair @ Autoworxs this morning he is installing the ecu and loading base map then Lumpy is tuning it on Tenagah Motorsports dyno on monday morning :( yay no more afm's to worry about

will one of these fit an stagea s1 with auto? and where in melbourne would i get it tuned?

i've been trying to get a dealership as i have a few customers wanting them but melbourne is tied up with JPC and so far i have not recieved more information.... still waiting. ;)

Thats awesome but my problem is i still need to know if this thing is gonna work with my auto, if it will i will be your first stagea customer

    • LOL.... fk...   there goes 25K to make 200kW
    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
