Without sounding arrogant, why then does the factory ecu with factory tuning require 2 knock sensors?
Sorry my bad, what i should of said was that it does not visually display knock, like the power fc does.

The standard ECU does though doesn't it?

As far as I know it does. Sydneykid said that knocking on the stock ECU will cause the engine light to flash up, so presumably there are limits to how far it can retard the timing. The PowerFC will flash up the warning light when the knock level gets above 60, which is really useful because this is still below the limit at which you can hear the pinging from the engine.

It's especially useful for poor bastards like me that can't afford the tune yet :D

Hey all,

my car is running a Wolf 3D ecu at the moment and it runs very well. I have only had the car for a week or so but the previous owner has had it in there for a few years now and had it tuned and it is fine now.

BTW, can anyone tell me how to engage the security function on my hand controller as the previous owner is looking for the manual and I don't know how to do it yet

Later

I don't know about all wolf 3ds, but mine cuts fuel and boost above 17psi incase the wastegate etc does'nt do its job or if someone screws around with the bleed valve

This should help

What version Wolf do you have? you can down load the manuals from here

First youll need to know the previous security pin, other than that all u have to do is hold "SET" down when the ignition is off. Holding it down turn the key to ignition and it should prompt you

yeah boost cut, violently cuts the injectors...doesnt feel nice but i guess its better than over boosting 20psi and blowing a rod

I have supplied and fitted many Wolf Plugins inc 9 just before Xmas and love them. Many Wa SAU guys have Wolfs inc WAs toughest GTR ND4SPD using the first GTR plugin, This car drives factory uses less fuel than a standard GTR and has 580rwhp@ only 21psi and a mild tune and GTS tVESPECs GTS makes 411rwhp on a stock motor etc etc. The GTS prototype was fitted by me on an Auto GTS about 2 years ago and it is still going well.Boost cuts can be set at any setting you want and the idle speed control needs to be set up by some one that understand exactly what it dose.

Knock sensors are only in a car to help protect the car from damage.

The damage comes from the fuel not being a high enough octane, in japan they have 99% octane feul as standard, so when jap cars are out here and the fuel is of a much lower standard they require knock sensors to help stop pre and post detonation from happening.

All high end jap cars have this not just skylines, so don't think it's a bad thing or something or anything to do with the computer.

Can anyone confirm that the Plug In Wolf for an RB20 will run low impedence injectors without any dramas' ?

I have a set of GTR injectors all ready to go with resistor pack and an ECU tuned for my turbo and injectors. That said if a Plug-In Wolf will run the injectors without the need to wire up the resistor pack, then i will tempted to bank roll a Wolf ECU.

Looking at the software and brochures it doesnt explicity say the range of injector impedences it can operate.

Can anyone help re the injector impedence question with the plun in Wolf...also you guys using the plug in, what sorts of things are you using the auxillary outputs for?

I'm not sure about that Roy, why dont you give Steve-SST a PM and see if he can help you, he is the man when it comes to Wolf ECU's.:rofl:

As CrazO stated, Steve-SST will be the best person to ask.

As for "auxillary outputs";

1/ One is being used for my shift light. Just using a Jaycar 5" pencil thin neon, which is mounted just below the tacho.

2/ A second output is being used to control the factory boost valve. It is set to 13psi and is very stable.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
