quick tune is free to download.

There is nothing stopping you using a seperate MAP sensor as an AUX input should you want more than 22psi

O ok I thought such a nifty program would cost money :D Yeh someone told me I can just wire in another MAP sensor through the old AFM wiring. Have you personally had any dealing with a LINK G4 or ViPEC V44 plug in ecu? Would be interesting to see if the software for both works on either ecu. Yeh anyone who wants to suggest a good wideband please do :)

Also just to keep this thread usefull for others. Anyone else who has been tuned post up your ecu and the cost and time taken :D Cheers

Im a bit lost on this. So the V88 comes with built in knock control? Can the stock knock sensors be wired straight to the ecu or would I need to get an amp for it? Also is the inbuilt MAP for the V88, is it any better than the V44 or is it all 2.5 bar absolute?

you can order the plug in with a 5bar map sensor fitted as an option. We run one of these in our circuit gtr and runs the car extremely well...ultra smooth like factory and makes over 450KW at the tyres.

V88 runs a map sensor separate from the ecu.

we use the techedge wideband...local product and is what is fitted as standard equipment on Mainline dyno's

Ah ok. Yeh I emailed Ray but I haven't got an email back about pricing for anything like that. Like extra sensors and so on. Everyone is saying Quicktune is free but I can't find it on the internet. I know Im probably looking in the wrong spot or am just too stupid to find it so could someone help me out with a hyperlink. I will just like to have a browse and have a look around with the options etc. Yeh I was looking over the techedge wideband as it has been suggested a couple of times :D Do you think the basic techedge wideband kit will be enough? I think it is accurate to +-0.1 between 11 and 17. Cheers for the PM. I cant call now or anything as Im at work and I dont wanna get it trouble for not doing anything hahaha........not that im browsing sau........

ANOTHER question coz im full of so many. The Link G4 plug in I have been told has 10 injector drivers and 4 ignition. So it fires injectors fine but runs wasted spark. Does the V44 plug in do 6 injection and 6 ignition? Everyone is telling me they are the same dam ecu so I just want to clear that little query up.

Anyway I better get back to faradays electrolysis eqaution to see how efficient the cells are running :S

its 8 injector drivers and 4 ignition drivers. you use 6 of the injector drivers to drive the injectors the other two can be programed to do other things, in mine one does the thermo fan and i think the other does the idle solenoid and 3 ignition drivers to run the wasted spark ignition.

You open quicktune from within the vipec software http://www.vi-pec.com/page_files/software.htm

i have this hooked into my car running wideband closed loop http://wbo2.com/2j/default.htm and it was also used by the tuner with quicktune.

I'm guessing you have the V44 plugin?

ahhhhhh ok I thought quicktune was its own program or something. Makes a little more sense that it is opened up in the other software. What do you think of the wasted spark set up? Do you have any issues with it at all?

yes i have the V44 plugin.

i haven't had any issues with the wasted spark setup, guilt-toy has more power than me and he hasn't had any issues that im aware of either (same ecu)

Ah ok. Well I just spoke to the guy who I hope will give me mod plates and Im needing to pass emissions. Dont think I will go too well with the microtech on this set up with no cat or carbon canister :| So I think I will more than likely be upgrading all that stuff soon :P As I mentioned earlier I have been offered the LINK G4 plug in for a pretty good price. Is there any other reason other than support from Ray and the brand name that I should get a V44?. As for knock amps is there anything that you would suggest?

vipec make a knock amp that you can buy

Alright. But again I think I am retarded as I cant find it on their website.

Anyone want to message me with the price for a V44 with upgraded map sensor, knock amp and inlet air temp sensor? I can get a link g4 plug in for $1200. But I will need to get an inlet air temp sensor, a better map sensor and still get the knock amp. Someone please hit me with some current values on the dam Vipec. Makes me cranky that I can never see a price for it. Everywhere I look it just says "POA". I understand prices fluctuate but PLEASE somebody give me a price.

I guess I just want to be able to hop online. Fill up the cart with all the goodies and have the price right in front of my face :D and then have someone else foot the bill :blink:

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
