The new Vipec plugin for 350z has just been released, I may be heading this way in the future with some serious modifications to the engine loom on the VQ25det... Some impressive features on this.

the new elite is miles ahead, save your cash you wont be disappointed

Ahh yep that's pretty clear that for one reason or another the duty it's using isn't enough for a certain amount of the time but once it gets up there it's pretty happy, quite interesting

That thing is fast, btw :D

Would be faster if it ran 2 bar in the first 3 gears :) Not too bad for a standard bottom end and gearbox though

Here is the current wastegate duty cycle table

If you don't want to setup gear based maps, can you set two different duty maps vs road speed?

wheel spin can be trouble some for calculations... Unless it uses front sensors.

Has anybody used the factory oil pressure sensor for logging or tuning?

I think most people use the $200 - $300 version of which this is a cheapo example:

I don't think it even outputs to the ECU, just the dash...

Yep

Unless someone has wired the stock sensor to one of the ECU's input. But I think it would be a bit innacurate for that, not sure but I'd rather use a better quality sensor

Gents,

Looking for some help please. My Vipec dealer is of little help.

I have a V88 with a custom adapter loom that connects to the stock R32/RB26 harness. I have the ECCS relay(pin 16 on the stock harness) connected to Aux6. I'm using a General Purpose output with a 1 condition switch logic. I'm using MAP> for Sw Cond 1 and 1 kpa for the value. I believe this works properly, except that I'm only seeing 6 volts at pin 16 with the key off. There should be 12 volts.

Also, some of the dash lights stay on with the key off. I may have some current backfeeding into the ECU somehow. Could it be the ISC solenoid, which is connected to Aux4? The plug-in base map uses Injector Drive 7 for the ISC solenoid.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

buy a LS1 oil pressure sensor off ebay they are a great accurate budget 3wire sensor.... often repackaged into dearer ecu brand boxes.

This is great info for this thread (and for me)

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg
