Brand new Wolf 3d plug in and Apexi avcr $1400

[Steve]

Air temp comp goes some way, better than the power fc in that regard, but as Paul says, I just want that added comfort - other than dud fuel, you could get fouled plugs, esp if you are running colder heat range - I really is comforting to know that IF it happens, you will be aware of it before damage is done - I know alot of people do without them, but now that I am used to it, I wouldnt have it any other way.

Just think Paul, if you had a decent knock sensor, you could run your 411rwhp without worry:D

[Steve]

Oh, and please dont think I am having a go at Wolf, from the sounds it is a bloody awesome ECU and goes alot further than the power fc - but I have spoken to some people in SA, including the rep, and they either didnt know much about the ecu, or didnt want to touch it.

If I still lived in the west, there would probably be a power fc for sale;)

Maybe some people here in SA should organise a group buy and get Steve to come over to fit, set up and tune them???? Not as silly as it sounds.

If there were people interested, I would definately be looking at an upgrade - but I want a knock sensor!

[N I B]

The upgrades are on going so its just a matter of time.

Steve-SST,

So does the Wolf3D come with a solanoid to control boost or is it a seperate purchase? For an R32GTST?

[Guest darrinspencer]

Thanks guy's for the imput. I bought the Wolf ecu last Friday or should i say i stole it for $800 brand new in the box.

The guy i bought it from had spent approx $20,000 grand on his car with a speed shop in Brisbane, and got taken for a ride.

I do not think they are that "Fast and Furious" after all. I believe the courts will be sorting that out.

I have not bought the Apexi avcr as it is still on his car and is needed to keep it running at this stage. He will converting the car back to standard.

So as i understand it, I do not need it? (AVCR) Does the wolf use the factory bleed valve to control boost levels?

[JimX]

Would one of those Jaycar LED knock sensors be good enough to use in conjunction with the Wolf?

[Roy]

It depends how does it work, does it intercept a voltage signal from the ECU and std sensor, or use an aftermarket sensor / Delco etc?

[Bl4cK32]

Steve, apparently Mildren race Engineering here in Adelaide can tune it no probs.

As far as the boost control goes, the wolf can control the stock solenoid, or as we tend to do, control an aftermarket solenoid.

JimX, Yeah you could, but I've never seen the Jaycar one before.

[Bl4cK32]

How about using it in conjunction with the AVCR? Iv'e got one sitting here, and still want to use it. Do you just dissable the boost control option and run the AVCR as a seaparate system?

[Steve]

Bl4cK32, sell the AVCR, and recoupe some of the cost:)

I spoke to Mildrens a few months ago, they said they didnt know much about the Wolf for R33, and to check with SST! Hopefully they have it sorted now.

And I just thought of a really good reason to buy wolf - one that everyone has missed, Sequential Idle - sounds tuff as hell (really, really tuff), and it even cools the engine:)

[GTS-t VSPEC]

You can simply not setup the Wolf for Boost control then the AVCR will work as normal.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Steve, I know a few of the guys that are running rotational idle, you either love it or hate it, but if you plan on running anti-lag then it's a must:D

[Bl4cK32]

Gotta have my intake of rice with the Avcr - i'll keep it and run the wolf with boost turned off

Mildrens reckon it'd be about 500 for the tuning. Joel spoke to them so he knows more than me They only released the 32 version as well as the r33 in like April? Both would be similar to tune I assume?

[N I B]

Wolf don't offer rotational idle but the software is so good i got it working my self.Pauls had his plugin longer than april, i fitted my first R32-33 plugin more than a year ago.32s and 33s use the same Wolf.

[Cubes]

Rotational idle? What is that?

I've only every heard of stepper motor control which is apparently a good feature for ecu's.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the blokes from Wolf have been watching this thread..

[JimX]

Rotational idle wouldn't be that hard to implement would it? If they put that in along with a knock sensor that would be a very good reason to upgrade from PowerFC to Wolf

Edit: Hmm, in the thread linked to below, GTS-t VSPEC says the Wolf does support rotational idle? So does it or doesn't it?

[Bl4cK32]

joel, see this thread :

[Cubes]

Cheerz Big Earz..

Rotational Idle isn't my thing anyhow so I wont miss it.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

JimX, It's not a direct feature that Wolf advertise, but it is something that can be implemented with a decent tuner, Steve has even setup a couple ferraris to run rotational idle:D

It's good that Wolf are following this thread, we'd love to give them some positive feedback and encourage them to add features which will make choosing the Wolf even more desirable:D
