i got my car pc.. the thing is smaller then 3 cd cases put together.. looks hot.. too bad ram is not upgradable but 256mb ram should be ok for a cap pc.. il only use it for the net when i am away from home etc etc

will have it installed and setup this weekend once i can workout how to stuff the hdd into there

Is that one of the single-din pc setups?

I didn't want to go so small (mine is about the same size as my amp) as it wanted it to be semi-upgradable and have room for a capture card.. eventually I'd like to have some good quality cameras throughout the car :P

i see the anti-lag and rotary idle had them either running for cover or scratching their heads at Summernats.

nice comment about it being all over the Power FC too.

we should have the engine monitor up and running soon for you to try with it also.

I worked out how to setup Group N Anti-Lag and Cycle idle at Summernats, gave it a good work out, here is a video of my car spooling up 20psi of boost with the clutch in then dropping it (just a little burnout i was not keen to get kicked out)

Watch old mate to the left, he copped the extream anti-lag pressure from the side pipe and was jumping outta the way :laugh:

*More Vids of Anti-Lag*

Uploading more atm

bloody yobbo's.

ahh paul you'd love it :laugh:

haha not really...only good thing about summernats are the pavillions + dyno.

glt toy....how much traction loss when launching anti lag etc???? is it very driveablewith the features + are they easy to turn off (rotary control, anti lag etc)

Cycle idle is NOT anti lag, its for cooling when the car is on anti lag rundown, so when your not on anti lag the extra air and no spark in the cyl cools it down heaps, i noticed when idleing around with cycle idle the engine would not go to operating temp on a very hot day.. which is weird...

You can turn anti lag off with a digital input switch (but cycle idle stays on), and when my car is on 24psi with anti lag there is no such thing as traction what so ever. Its just a big show off thing i wreckon :( but its fun and grabs attention

its also kinda hard to drive the car with cycle idle.. its mainly for WOT driving so i will have it on again for power cruise.

Id be interested to see whether anyone has bothered to run the boost controller that comes with these computers. The guy whos retuning my car was part of the development team of these new ecu's and said they are incredibly good.

Wouldnt mind hearing some other opinions as naturally he is a tad bias!

Cheers

will let you know.. will be trying a stock r33 solinoid and the boost controll in the next couple of weeks.. hmmm i should do it tomorrow but i am lazy.

I'm using the boost control feature. I've got a Mac solenoid in place of the stock one. I have wired the ECU up to an external switch (factory fog light switch) for high/low boost :) The boost control seems to work fine. It's open loop though, which means it takes a little longer to tune on the dyno. It also has overboost protection.

There is a closed loop boost control feature coming soon I believe. I'm looking forward to that one.

this is prolly going to get laffed at, but since the vipec is just a board that you put in ur standard ecu is there a way to put it in your PFC and thats a way of possibly retaining the hand controller without having to go laptop..

No not possible at all.. however in a few weeks there will be a Vipec Dash available which will run rings around the Crappy padel power fc hand controller and have programable shift lights and all kinds of stuff available.

I will do a review on the Dash just before its about to be released.

Sounds great. I have an overboost problem at present and wouldnt mind checking out whether its teh boost controller thats causing the problems without buying an expensive new one. Solinoids are 100NZD (not sure about AUD) if you want a new one also.

Look forward to hearing how it goes mate.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
