Ecu nistune link vipec

It's probably be spoken about before. 

I'm no wiz when it comes to ecu's .

How much difference is there between say a nistune and a link plug in ecu. Is the extra coin really worth it.  Is there power to be made more so with the link plug in over the nistune. 

Engine is built rb30/25 neo gtx3582r on 22 - 24 psi 1000cc injectors on pump fuel.

I have both setups nistune type 4 hpx1 afm and also have a vipec r34 gtt plug in with all required sensor.

You can't just "make" more power with a different ECU.

It depends all on your user requirements, in terms of features, protection strategies, Inputs/outputs, etc.

Best bet is to go over your requirements / wants with whoever you are looking to get it tuned by, this will identify what features you need and that dictates what ECU's would suit the build. As Dose highlights above - the big advantages of a higher end ECU is in things like additional sensor inputs and outputs, traction control, antilag, effective knock sensor capability etc but you might not need or want any of those.

Well to rephrase what I asked which ECU is better safety wise on saving an engine if something goes wrong. As both have all the functions i will ever need.

Vipec was the name used by Link for the Australian market - now it is used for their snowmobile and watersport applications so if you are choosing between Link and Nistune...as far as safety is concerned I believe the Nistuned ecu retains the safety features of the stock ecu although no doubt you could put an unsafe tune on it.

The Link can have a number of protections built in (e.g.max revs in gears, minimum oil pressure) but it will not of itself make more power than the Nistune ...but it allows for more optional features. It is only worth the extra if you want or plan to use these features.

This is for the torana i take it. Id use the vi-pec. Better timing control with the use of an aftermarket  crank cam trigger setup and better resolution in timing and injection maps. Generally speaking, just a much more capable and flexible setup over the nistune for your application.

Cheers for the feedback vipec it is. Its a 10000+ board so I'm led to believe it will also self tune when cruising around off boost for better fuel economy too.

I have talked to authorized tuners of both Link and Nistune.  If you are looking for fail safe functions, go with Link.  

Link can drop RPM, cut boost, and keep a constant and safe A/F ratio when there is a component failure.  Given you have all the extra sensors installed of course, like fuel/oil pressure and wideband controller, plus using Link to drive your boost solenoid.

Ok. So I'm about to start installing the vi-pec and expansion cable to run inlet air temp sensor 4 bar map sensor and a wide bane 02 sensor with CAN LAMBDA. All parts are from link g4 so same as vi-pec. But have no dam idea how to wire it all up. I know the vi-pec is a plugin ecu so thats easy.  I know where to plug in the expansion cable but have no idea what wire goes to what in reference to the new sensors.

Has anyone got a diagram or can tell me what goes where please. 

Thank you in advance.
