Vipec V44 Boost Control?

[Guilt-Toy]

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?

I hope you haven't bought that one off that ebay link coz the one he is selling is the wrong model.

Legend mate.

Man that was easy Its on its way $15.50 to my door.

Dose anyone have the part number for the large 3 way MAC valve on the Vi-Pec website?

http://www.vi-pec.com/page_files/control_valves.htm

Looks like a 200 series small 3 way but in 12V?

Yep I did buy that one after status posted the link.

I then went on the vipec site and saw there were two.

Will it still work?

[s2d4]

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!

[TiTAN]

talk to the vipec dealers, most keep these things in stock, though i would test the one you have first to see if it does the job.

Yeah might do that mate.

Especialy after guilt toy said all those other stocko rb solenoids work!!!

[Guilt-Toy]

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

[s2d4]

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!!!

[s2d4]

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.

yeah please do so.

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

Ive got an autronic big mac valve, but the tag has been removed, and an autronic label instead, typical richard aubert

[s2d4]

I have checked the spec sheet on the website.......
