Hello. Im in search of a base map for ignition and fuel on my starlet with a 4age silvertop. Im using a vipec v88 ecu. Im running ls2 coils, STD injectors, bosch 044 fuel pump and a ss header with 2,5 inch exhaust to the back. -Sindre :)

if the knock sensor is Mitsubishi MD 159216 also is given the knock gain is 1.00, set up at 7kHz and sensor is reporting numbers between 180 and 225, what is the voltage from sensor at V88 knock input

Please advise, I have configured An4 v as an input for my oil pressure. I am using a Gems 0 to 8 bar scale sensor with a 0 to 5v output. My issue is that I keep measuring 7.35 volts on An4 V which I think is telling me that I need to use a VDO Type resistor sensor. Not what I am after, Gems sensor is mounted and wired up except for the V88 input. How would I reconfigure this input for a 0 to 5 volt input please. Thanks.

I've been registered here for a while, but as a reflection of my progress on my project , I haven't actually done anything on the site. I have a '97 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT, which has done daily driver / auto-cross / track day duty for me since I bought it in 2000. The late '90s 2.5GTs were non-turbo, with the DOHC 2.5L EJ25D rated at 165/162 hp/tq. Over the years, I did a variety of modifications to the original EJ25D - ported heads, reground cams, header, etc - that resulted in a significant bump in power, to something around what a stock 2.0L WRX puts down. Yes, I realize many would think that was a poor ROI compared to just doing a turbo swap, but I've never had any desire to go the turbo route (note the license plate in the above pic). However, more power is more better, so at some point I started thinking about swapping in the EZ30 6-cylinder from the Outback. Initially I was planning to use the 2nd generation EZ30, commonly called the EZ30R, which was offered starting in '05 in the US. Rated @ ~245bhp, DBW throttle body, variable intake cam timing and lift, blah blah blah. I picked up a very lightly used EZ30R years ago and was intending to swap that in the car. Since the 30R uses a CAN-bus type ECU with an Immobilizer, it's very challenging to use the factory ECU (I've only ever seen discussion of 1 person successfully accomplishing that), so I picked up a Vipec V88 to run the engine. 4 years ago, I was still running an EJ25D, planning to do the 6-cylinder swap "some day". Then I managed to hydro-lock the EJ25D , and suddenly it seemed like it was time to do the H6 swap. Unfortunately, I had run into some issues getting the 30R cylinder heads worked on by a shop, so the first H6 I had purchased wasn't ready to go. I came across a great deal on a used 1st generation EZ30, commonly called the EZ30D, so I bought that and rebuilt it. The 30D doesn't have the fancy variable cams, is drive by cable, and is only rated 212hp. So, I proceeded with the swap, and mechanically pretty much got things done as of 2-1/2 years ago: I had spoken with a Vipec dealer / tuner here in the US about installing & tuning the ECU for me - he was only a few hours away, so it would've been quite convenient. Unfortunately, by the time I finished all of the mechanical stuff, and then had to pack all of my stuff and relocate due to a change in duty station, he was no longer in the Vipec business. Well... damn. Thus began the long, stagnant period, during which I ignored the thing and hoped that the wiring harnesses would magically merge on their own. That has still not happened , so I might actually have to do it myself! I've gone through the Subaru engine harness wiring diagram and created a nice Excel spreadsheet of everything. I had sourced a complete main dash harness from an '01 Outback; I've culled that down to just the connectors that plug into the engine harness, each with long pigtails for merging purposes. Now I just need to figure out matching up the EZ30D pinouts to the V88 pinouts, some of which is pretty obvious, but other stuff I need to do some homework. And then I need to actually merge the harnesses, something I've never undertaken before. At my current pace, I'm reasonably certain I will have the project completed at some point this century, maybe even this decade.

I have an e30 with an S52B32 swapped over from an e36 M3. The motor is currently stock, I run a modified OBD2 dme programmed to delete functions and trouble codes that I don't use. The only people who can program this unit are in the states and shipping me DME back and forth with every change I want to do is tedious. I'd like to be able to do this local either with friends (who are experienced with tuning) or on a dyno. You guys sell a plug-in ECU for an M50TUB25 which is like an early version of my engine as far as I know it. From what I can see the DME pinouts are close, but not exact. I'm considering picking this up for the sake of having it fit like oem, but it may take some wiring to make it work anyways in which case I'm wondering if the v88 is a better fit overall. I've already wired my entire engine harness for the swap, I'm not afraid to open the main DME connector and move pins around to match the plug-in setup. My friend has parted out his supercharged Miata and is looking to sell his V88, which is why that's the other option. (The plug-in unit would be cheaper) PS: If I can get onto standalone the mods coming down the pipe are simple things, exhaust (headers and a better system), cams (schrick), and the big one is I'm currently designing an adapter plate to mount the S54B32 independent throttle bodies and plenum to the S52 head.

Hi , I am new to vipec , and about to install a vipec v88 for a 2jz engine. It runs on peak and hold injectors but i cant seem to find the table where i can adjust peak and hold times. Is it locked in the ecu ? if i a want to run bigger injectors than stock e.g1250 cc. Will they work just by changing the dead times ? I am using firmware 4.10.2 Thanks.

Hi I am having trouble with my mac boost valve on my v88. When i connect 12v to the sensor it is almoast like it sends 12v into the selected aux port. It uses aux8 and it is sett to 20hz. Is there any way to wire this wrong? I cant get the valve to switch on. And it seems like it shorts. If i put aux8 in test mode and make run in high mode and then ground the other wire on the sensor it clicks.

I am looking for a good used V88 unit. Please packaging,looms,MAP and IAT if present more than welcome.
