Has Anyone got a vi-pec in there r33 rb25 and has a good base map that I could work with to get my car running. Would have to suit 1000cc xspurts/id1000's. I'm waiting for my tech edge wideband to turn up so I'm going to give it a go and play around with the vi-pec tuning software hopefully get it running well enough to take it in to get a full tune done. Any help and tips is appreciated, cheers

You're running a very similar set up to me except I went with a Link G4. My advice to you is if you plan on tuning yourself, then driving it on the street, you'll need to tune real time on the road to correct mixtures at various loads - I do NOT recommend you do this by yourself and it is strongly advised you understand A/F mixtures and timing (among other things) before you attempt anything. Idle mixtures differ greatly compared to mixtures under load (especially with boost coming on). If the vi-pec is anything like the link plug and play (vi-pec and link are incredibly similar), there should be an included base map that will be enough for you to start the car and do any prechecks you need. Typically they are a very rich ('safe') base tune and are exactly that - a base tune, designed to be enough to start the car and drive it onto the dyno for a full tune.

i have some knowledge and understanding, not a great deal but i am intrested in learning to do more of my own tuning in the future. ive done some tuning with a microtech ecu which i done some road tuning in one of my cars in the past and done a fair bit of carby tuning recently on my vs which has an carby ls1 and use msd software for setting ignition maps. ive got vcm suite/hp tuners software which ive used in my old vz ls1 obviosaly the vi-pec is a lot more complex and a different ball game with boost but i gotta start some where thoe.

    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
