  1. Launch control help

    in G4+

    Posted

    So I've got 1994 celica GT4 (ST205) with a link G4+ plug and play, I'm always interested in learning how to do stuff myself, so recently I've been trying to teach myself how to set launch control. Can't seem to get it right, sometimes it will pop and bang and sometimes it wont and also 80% of time when I do launch it feels like it dies a little as if it needs more revs(if you understand what I'm trying to say) so any tips or tricks would help thanks. Will attach a photo with how I've got it set up at the moment

    Hi Frosty,

    does -10 degrees actually give you enough boost to launch at.

    Regards

    Dave.

  2. boost control

    Hi,

    firstly do you have a speed input setup in the ecu.

    You must have a speed input to be able to carry out a gear input setup.

    The only other way around this would be to have a digital input for each gear and use them as the activation for the table.

    Please advise if you have a speed input from the vehicle to a Digital input.

    Then we can go through set up procedures.

    Regards

    Dave.

  5. Internal ECU logging

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi Josey,

    I have had numerous ECU's with back feeding issues, due to incorrectly set up auxillary relays.

    The engine stops running when the ignition is turned off, the laptop communications go offline when the ignition is

    off also.

    Then when trying to do Firmware upgrades if the ECU has ANY form of back-feeding it will hang the firmware update.

    The only way to overcome this is to physically disconnect the ECU connector blocks when prompted to turn the ignition off

    and back on.

    I am not stating that your problem is definitely this.

    I just wanted to make you aware of what I have encountered.

    I have done many 4.10.2 upgrades with out issues.

    Regards

    Dave.

  6. Open Loop AFR Table

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi Cake,

    The entire OPEN LOOP AFR TABLE should always be fully tuned for this function to work correctly.

    Selecting a chunk of the table and applying a change will still be effected to a degree by the tables values, above, below or to the side of the selected values.

    As Simon said store the changes to the ECU and also watch injector duty and time mS.

    Regards

    Dave.

  7. Cruise Control?

    in Vi-PEC i Series

    Posted

    Hi,

    there is very detailed instructions on this feature available in the HELP files.

    Please read through correctly as every step is important, also use you ECU Runtimes Values list to check the operation of the  inputs used to activate all the CC functions.

    Check the actual switch conditions are activating and being acknowledged with a green box and an ON or YES prompt.

    Otherwise data log all Cruise Control inputs etc and send thee file in.

    Regards

    Dave.

  8. When is next VTS update ready?

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi Josey,
    please send your PCL file.
    Driving the car in setup mode is very dangerous, the safety limiting strategies of the ETHROTTLE will not function.
    Erratic, unstable and unpredictable throttle control may occur.
    So is the E THROTTLE SETUP passes all setup procedures.
    What do you have your E THROTTLE TARGET TABLE Y AXIS set up as.
    Regards
    Dave.

  12. Trigger arming threshold

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi Josey,

    but are you getting any TRIGGER ERRORS.

    Hit F12 runtime values and go to triggers and look.

    Can you take a PC log , at 40 Hz, log all parameters and send to us.

    Please make sure an AFR WIDEBAND is attached and selected in logging.

    Regards,

    Dave.

  15. When is next VTS update ready?

    Hi ,

    the V series software is a very stable platform and has been for quite some time now.

    Unless there are bugs found, the Engineers probably won't do any updates.

    Remember the introduction of the i SERIES was due to the absolute limitations of the V series hardware being reached.

    Unless a specific feature request is wished for by multiple people I do not think we will see any more development.

    But this is just my opinion, not that of ELECTRONZ LIMITED themselves.

    Remembering I don't work for them.

    Simon may wish to elaborate.

    Regards

    Dave.

  18. BMW E30 M3 i88 - not starting

    in Vi-PEC i Series

    Posted

    Hi Andreas,

    sorry for the delay.

    I have been sick and also had carpel tunnel surgery on both of my wrists, so I have been out of action for awhile.

    Please try the attached pcl file I have created.

    It is crude but have got the triggers set up correctly and also set load source in your configuration you had set to OFF.

    I have changed your FUEL and IGNITION table Y axis to MAP, I am assuming this is a turboed application.

    You can set to MGP or TPS if you wish your call.

    I have also created a basic Timing table to start you off.

    Please exercise caution with the ignition table, it is just a lot better than the one you were using.

    Please recalibrate the TPS, MAP sensor and then turn the fuel from sequential to OFF and do your IGNITION ANGLE TEST , set the trigger offset to correct your timing.

    Let me know how you go.

    Regards

    Dave.

  20. starting problems

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi Max,

    you need to disable any idle control that your engine uses.

    You will then need to adjust the throttle blade stop screw if fitted so that the engine idles at your desired idle speed or just below it.

    Remember to recalibrate the TPS after adjusting the stop screw as this will change the closed throttle voltage.

    Then re enable your idle control and test your starting, you will more than likely need to make small changes to the idle control parameters to lower the idle speed as it will probably idle higher than it used too with more air blade gap.

    This may not require any adjustment if using closed loop idle speed control.

    You may need to alter cranking fuel numbers etc to make up for the extra air.

    Are you using pre start enrichment triggered from ignition on or cranking.

    Using these will aid starting dramatically when setup correctly.

    Regards

    Dave.

  22. New to Vipec so a couple of questions.

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi ,

    as Kristian has said , all of this is easily handled by the ECU.

    As for setting this up and advising on how to do it all, well this may upset some dealers in your area.

    This is how the Dealers make their living, I suggest you visit your nearest dealer and support him.

    If you feel you can program this and set it up yourself, read the HELP files they are vey informative.

    If you need further help and or do not receive support from your dealer , return to the forum.

    This is just Dealers playing fair.

    Regards

    Dave.
