you use the DI speed input from the gearbox to switch off launch controll when launching with the vipec. No clutch pedal is needed, for flat shifting you need the clutch pedal though.

I connected my front ABS sensor to a digital input on my car, so now the vipec knows what slip % the wheels are spinning and can run a GP rev limit or full timing map for traction control.

Have done some testing and with 225 rubber on rear with 400rwhp the car just takes off while it is wheel spinning...

Also when running boost maps you can have the vipec run wastegate pressure when wheels are spinning and then go back to full boost once you get traction.

Been playing around with my setup a fair bit these days, its crazy the things this ecu can do!

And the funny thing is Ray is still developing more goodies for us... !!

Yeah thats sick. Especialy when it will run wastegate pressure when wheelspinning.

How could I run the traction control if i dont have abs then mate? My car is a 32gtst without abs

How can I set up the speed inputs off the front wheels to use this function, and how would the vipec know the back wheels were spinning if the digital inputs where running off the front? Or does in know what gear im in somehow?

Does this take heaps of stuffing round to get right?

absolutely not. wrong voltage rating unless u plan to run 240v in your car.

God dam it!

I spose i shouldnt believe everything I read hey....!

I did specify in my original post I was running twins so thanks for that STATUS. Luck it was only 15 bucks. lol

Anyone need a mac valve for single turbo setup? $5.....?

As XRATED said anyone got the part number for the bigger mac valve? and where can i purchase it from?

hmmm. is this on the most recent firmware? i am still running the version before that. will have to have a play some time.

Can someone please fill me in on where to purchase the correct mac valve from?

Surely someone must know where I can get something that will work!

Really need this by next week if possible!

Once you setup the front abs sensor to the vipec it compares the speed with the gearbox sensor to calculate the slip %

Don't you guys think that maybe Status knows what he is talking about? A mac valve is a mac valve. Why won't the one you got on ebay work ?

I used a shitty valve from a cheap china boost controler and it worked. You can even use a rb25 one! or 26 one.

Thats what i was hoping to hear mate.

Im sure trent of all people knows what hes on about hence posting the link.

I will be sure to let you know how the tuning goes!..... Unless someone with experience tells me it wont work in the meantime! haha

You may be right I guess. Its just that the ebay one is rated at 240Vac... and what we need is 12Vdc..

Maybe the electrical boys can chime in on this one.

yeah please do so.

But im assuming if some cheap chinese boost control solenoid designed to controll a simple single setup will work ok as STATUS and GUILT-TOY describe then im hoping this mac valve will be suficient.

Fingers crossed anyway!!!

Not sure about that one, the chinese cheapo could most likely be rated at 12Vdc.

So this would be the difference like you'd have between a cheap kettle and an expensive kettle but are both at 240Vac.

From my understanding, difference between 12Vdc and 240Vac is very different in circuitry and the equipment would need built in transformers and rectifiers to run 240Vac on 12Vdc. You would need inverters to run 12Vdc to 240Vac... In both cases the packaged equipment would have to be fairly large to accomodate this set up. Just take a look at the power supply for laptops.

Alot of industrial components, especially solinioids/actuators etc are rated with an AC and DC voltage. I can't say it will work, but it might. Look it up on the MAC website...

I have pnumatic MAC valves in the air controll throttle/gear controlls on the yacht I'm currently working on. I will be ordering new pilot soliniods for the system soon and I want to include a " large boost controll" solinoid in with the order for me.

Anyone have the part number for the larger valve? Looks like a 200 series, but they don't list a 12V only 24V.

Cheers

Justin

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
