Driving Large Injectors With Wolf V4 Ecu

Hi all,

Getting the bits together for my E85 conversion but the biggest issue I am concerned about is my ECU. It's an old Wolf V4 and I want to run a 1400cc Ethanol injector.

http://scottyscustoms.com.au/product/1400cc-injectors/

Would like to know a few things.. I spoke to Wolf and they said the ecu should be able to run the injectors, however, they are high impedance and I currently run low impedance. Has anyone used high impedance injectors on this ECU before? Just want to be certain.

2nd.. Will these injectors be tunable down low for idle and low rpm?

3rd.. I run a single 044 now, will it be better to add a second 044 or upgrade to a bigger single pump? any ideas?

I'd like to upgrade the Wolf at some point soon but don't want to go through the hassle of it if I don't really need to.

Thanks for the help,

G

These new matched 1400 sets idle and cruise fine Gareth, most tuners will be sceptical initially, as they would rather the tried and tested Bosch ev14's, but you will find these tune perfectly using the supplied dead time chart, as long as the Wolf can drive them. You may be able to add a resistor if the ecu really needs a low impedance load (but I doubt it), perhaps check the Wolf forums if a Google search falls through?

How much power are you hoping to make? A single e85 Walbro is hard to pass on, cheap and it will flow 450 odd kw on ethanol, unless you have a surge tank? If so a Fuelab or similar pwm controlled turbine pump may be the answer imo, to combat the fuel heating issue on ethanol especially.

Not sure there is a top feed rail available for the FJ, I am told they sometimes machine the injector tops down and make hose tails to suit the stock setup, otherwise a custom rail may be required for either11/14mm.

Hey Scott,

Yeah, just trying to get as much info before I go ahead with the fuel system upgrade. If I can run the injectors by just effectively 'plug and play' then that would be great.

Haven't found anything on google yet about anyone running high imp injectors on a Wolf V4.

I hope to make around 500 rear wheel HP. (I make 400 @17psi now on 98) so with boost up and e85 I hope that's realistic.

I run a surge tank so I will look into bigger single external pumps.. Are twin 044s a good cost effective option?

Fuel rail I have found a pre fab kit online.

Any continued info would be awesome, thanks for the input!

I'm driving a set of ID1000's with a wolf 3D V4 plug in. It's ok for a drift car but struggles a bit to controll them nicely at idle/ low rpm part throttle.

If it's a road car, it would be hard to go past a haltech plug in/PS 1000/2000 to controll them nicely.

Cheers

Hi has my car running with a wolf ver 4 plugin ecu with 660cc injectors it was not tuned by a shop but I had problems with idle and partial throttle so I changed the settings and minor change to the injector wiring for semi sequential and the car idled much better and didn't have lots of soot coming from the exhaust but as I say it has never been tuned drop me you email and I will send you the info if you like

how's the software like? never played with a Wolf 3D - but it can't be that bad right?

I've tuned a few adaptronic semi sequential ECUs and they idle like stock with lean AFRs and none of this hard to start, stuttering business.

As long as the injectors are fired in the correct order it should run fine in pairs. If you pair the wrong injectors it will sound very lumpy down low, as they are just spraying onto the back of the valve.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'll just have to suck it and see.

I'm a little concerned about the wolf driving high impedance injectors however. What happens if the ecu can't run them? Will it cause an issue or fault in the ecu? I have no experience in this department..

its more of an ecu thing. The injectors are fine. There are hundreds of ecus on the market and wolf is still the only ecu we refuse to touch.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
