Hey guys

Im about to buy this ecu and i need to know about the boost control with this unit. I know i cant just type in what boost i want to run on the ecu with the standard R33 gtst soleniod.

So if i get my hands on a avcr soleniod and use that in conjuction with the wolf3d software, that will give me complete boost control the same as any other EBC?

I dont want to spend a few hundred on a EBC if i dont have to if this method works. So just want to confirm if anyone has done this and it works ok?

Also i want to know if anyone has any base maps they could send me? I wanna have a go at installing it myself and if i could have a base tune to get me started that would be much appreciated.

My mods are

3" turbo back exhaust

Pod

FMIC

bosch 040

stock boost

Cheers

Matt

MJ I am in the small boat as you

I have the wolf computer but still have not fitted it yet

I pm Steve at SST a while ago the same question

his answer

"You can use the factory solinoid, but solder up the restrictor and redrill it to 0.5mm"

To us the factory solinoid I am pretty sure you need to unplug it from the factory harness and run new wires from the wolf computer?

Plug in the wolf and the boost solinoid will work with no extra wiring needed but if you want high boost you need to solder the factory restrictor and re drill smaller or fit a larger solinoid. Wolf car run any solinoid and works with inturnal and exturnal gates if you set it up right.AVCR solinoid is fine but save your coin and use the factory one with small restrictor.

yes i agree, the power FC is fairly restrictive with an automatic, especially because there is not many functions available for that type of tuning..

why dont you learn how to drive manual?... :jk:

the wolf has a wider range for the auto.. so good choice!

good luck with the tuning! :wassup:

Hi Abu, the standard engine ECU "talks" to the gearbox ECU and

(amongst other things) retards the ignition timing to smooth out the gearchanges. This also "unloads" the gearbox at the time of shifting, which lessens the torque shock on the auto. This extends its life considerably. The programming for this is quite complex as it has to account for gradients, as well as throttle position, gearchange point, engine rpm road speed etc. I suspect tha tthis is why Apexi don't make an auto PFC, they would have to charge a bomb to cover the cost of the programming t ocover the wide variety of power outputs. Noting that a standard ECU only has to account for standard power.

I have a Stagea almost here and it's an auto, good for towing the race car. So can you (or anyone else) tell me how well the Wolf handles the gearchanges in the auto?

I have recieved the maps, thanks for your help all :)

Sydneykid from what i have read from other people that have used this ecu in their auto skylines, they havent had a problem with the ecu except for the gearchange to be a little jerky. Maybe Steve can give a bit more of a insight on this?

I really like the software that comes with the unit, its really easy to understand and navigate. I cant wait to get this baby fired up now

Cheers

Matt

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
