zebra im not looking at a new ecu to make more power, 340klw at the wheels is plenty for what im doing with the car im just after better drivabilty i feel AFMs are just not consistant at giving accurate readings for the ECU which results in the car feeling sluggish at times,and yes they are new items.

choyda did yo have a powerFC before u got the vipec?

keep us updated on how your car turns out matt

cheers for the feed back guys!

Fair enough, Although many people say they loose drivability going MAP based with GTRs, they are bit tempremental in regards to where the MAP sensor is plummed into.

Hi,

I had the stock ECU and changed to Vipec to suit my mods. I did have a Power FC (no d-jetro) on my GTT. Certainly with the vi-pec the car drives like its standard (smoothness wise), seems to cope with different temps, cold starts, humid days much nicer than my Power FC did.

The tune also gives me surprisingly good fuel economy for a GTR anyway. I didn't have great economy in by GTT... could have been the tune though.

It's really all to do with the tune rather than what ECu the car has,

You could have a Motec M880 with the works but a bad tune and the car will feel like a POS.

Not using the TPS as a correction with a MAP sesnor.

Thats right. the tuner will run 2 fuel maps, one Map vs RPM and one TPS vs RPM.

Finished product is hard to tell difference from a stock ecu.

Guilt-toy is the v88 a plugin? if not do i need the v88 or will the v44 be fine?

V44 will be fine for a road car...same as we run in our street/circuit gtr with over 450awkw.

The only advantage of running a V88 is its direct fire ignition and the fact you have heaps of inputs and outputs for control/sensors etc.

Interesting, I need to go for a drive in a Vipec car that has had 1-3 hours of tuning. Be it Motec, Autronic, Microtech or Wolf (Never been in a car with a ViPec) the MAP sensed and tuned cars traditionally seemed to always require more dyno and road time to get the tune to the point where you got the drivability of the AFM Pfc and the fuel economy.

I do believe about 75% of it is in the tune and 25% of it the ECU. So if the ViPec and some of the softeware allows it to be quickly tuned and accurately tuned then that is a big bonus.

I have a Vipec V44 plug-in on my Stagea 260RS (R33 GTR engine). I also had the problem with the aircon clutch relay, but it's easy to fix. I believe the next runs of ECUs will have a fix for this anyway (if it's not out already). Either way, it's no biggy. Yeah, you don't have to wire in a wideband O2 sensor, but there are heaps of features you can access when you do. I just picked an Innovate one for $200, so will be wiring that in soon to trim my tune a bit more. I went from stock ECU to Vipec and it really does drive as smooth as stock. Mine has been tuned as mentioned above. 2 maps, 1 with TPS vs RPM and the other MAP vs RPM.

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
