Wolf 3d Compatable With 33gtst?

[Richy08]

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if a wolf 3d v3 is able to be used on a 33 gtst??

If so how good is it? is it like a power fc? will it be better than an emanage ultimate or safc?

below is the pic of it.

Thanks for the help

damn google chrome!

Ill try again

How modified is the car now/going to be?

Whats your budget?

Is it a street only car?

Those things will help answer with better detail, but for now ill tell you what i know/think/etc

They are a compatible yes... except for the point about how they don't use the factory knock sensor, infact they dont use anything for knock.

Where as PFC/Vipec (roughly the same price as PFC new) do use it.

They have a lot of features, and AUX inputs, thats definately a big point compared to a PFC.

However, most of those for a street car, your really never going to use 3/4 of those features.

You can email Wolf as they are AUS based, for more info... doco's etc. They are very helpful also. They have done a presentation in the past @ SAU-Vic club meetings

Their after sales support is also excellent.

http://www.wolfems.com.au thoughts, PFC wins over Wolf.

Emanage/S-AFC are lesser compared with the likes of PFC/Wolf/Vipec etc.

However... depending on the application, they might be best because they are cheaper (say if you run a stock turbo car with just a I/C and some boost... S-AFC would be my choice)

My thoughts is PFC hands down overall. Why?

- PFC comes with everything to suit the R33 perfectly. Mainly due to knock detection, first turn of the key the PFC works etc.

- Price is a factor too.

- Wolf ECU knowledge isnt as widespread (for tuners), where the PFC has many many good tuners in each state. Your not restricted to use a workshop that might be half assed and your not happy with... and then unable to go elsewhere.... where the PFC, you've got plenty of choice.

- You dont really need aftermarket support and a zillion features for a street/light modded car

- Easily tuneable, comes with cold start and everything else the same as a factory RB25 ECU.

Cheers.

version 3 waste of time......

by the time you wire that or an emanage in yyou will have spent enough for a remap / pfc / vipec (OMG SIK SIK)

ok so far this is what i got on my car

-fmic

-3" turboback

-running 12psi on stock boost

-uprated fuel pump

-apexi induction

a friend of mine is selling me that wolf 3d i uploaded the pic of for $360

I'm looking at the most to change the turbo and injectors.

what do you guys reckon?

Or i was thinking of the safc? would the safc do me any good?

PFC doesn't do anything useful with knock, it just gives you a pretty light on your dashboard that flashes and says "your engine is being destroyed".

My one gripe with the PFC is that there is no knock retard on it. If you fill up with stale fuel the only thing stopping your engine rattling itself to death is you noticing your check engine light amongst all the fun and games of hitting boost.

(ok so I'm exaggerating but still)

lol @ ur engine is destroyed.

A minor ping is nothing to get too excited about.

If your that worried im sure you could get a much brighter light other than check engine (ive actually been thinking about a bring LED setup myself and working a way to run it)... well, not me... but my wiring guru who posted after me

Back to S-AFC... soon as you change injectors/turbo - IMO its time for a replacement/better management solution.

PFC/Vipec/Anything...
