  3. Differential Pressure

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi all , is there a way to obtain a differential pressure value , like fuel pressure against boost pressure which can then be used as a limiter ? I previously lost an engine when the FPR failed ! I know I can set up fuel pressure against boost pressure but DP seems a lot simpler.

  5. Wierd Problem

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi all , I use three identical AEM 150 psi pressure sensors for oil , fuel and water injection line pressure, they all use the same cal table , number 4. Cal table 4 is set up with the following values ;

    Input value A = 0 .50V

    Input Value B = 5.00V

    Output Units = PSI

    Output Value A = 0 psi

    Output Value B = 150 psi

    Both the oil pressure and AN V4 (set up as a GP input for WI line pressure) work properly but I've been having this wierd problem with the fuel pressure input .The sensor on this AN input is brand new and outputs the correct voltages but when viewed via the VTS software on a digital gauge set up in one of my layouts the values are displayed in Kpa! so at idle I see 358Kpa instead of 38 psi.I have tried switching around the output units in the CAL 4 table to see what happens and noticed that the output units for the oil and WI gauges change but not on the oil pressure gauge ,this one seems to be stuck on Kpa units ,I cant figure this one out anyone have experience with this ?

  6. Temperature sensors

    Hi all , I have found that the Bosch 0280130026 Coolant Temperature Sensor has the same calibration as the originally supplied coolant temperature NTC sensor, (if they are actually the same I can't say), so as in my case all my temperature sensors (except IAT) now use the same cal table !

    Hi Marcel,

    using a GP output as you have described will work, you will only required 1 relay to achieve this.

    As for your speed input, this will be dependant on where the signal comes from.

    If your speed input is generated via a gearbox mounted VSS or rear wheel speed sensor, this could be a problem if you wish to use the Line Lock for pre stage burnouts.

    If you are using a front ABS sensor then this shouldn't be an issue,

    Unless of course you lift the front wheels ;)

    I would use the brake switch input as 1 variable, as you would normally have your foot on the brake to engage the front wheels brakes.

    Then a VSS input front ABS sensor on front wheels.

    Add an RPM activation input also if you wish.

    With all variables active the switching to your line lock relay will be active.

    Once any of the input variables deviate from their active points the relay active output will be deactivated.

    Hello Dave , this is exactly what I am thinking , I will be using the front abs sensor for the speed input but I am still up in the air about the brake input since after hitting the brake and having the line lock solenoid activate , I will have to release the brake in order to depress the accelerator pedal, this is why I am thinking to have it activate via the same DI used to activate the launch control.

  15. State of outputs

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted

    Hi all , during my current build , I decided to replace all of my vehicles wireing with a multiplex system (www.isispower.com).The system is switched to ground so it seemed ideal to integrate it with my Vipec which would allow me to eliminate all additional wires, relays and fuses , before I purchased the system I contacted them and asked about the "back feed" issue to which the replied "this would not be a problem' . I am now doing functional checks on the system and it works as promised BUT when all power is stopped via the ignition key the outputs which are presently configured on the V88 via the ISIS turn on ! Now the multiplex system is designed to be on at all times so I am guessing that the the Vipec switches all outputs to ground when it is de-powered , Is this correct :?:

    Hi there , you need to verify weather or not the maps you are trying are from gasoline toned motors , E85 is an alcohol like methanol and like methanol you will require about 4X the amount of fuel 1 you will need to increase your fuel master and fuel map injecton values substantially.

  19. Traction Control..

    Thanks for all the feedback on the subject. We are aware that this is a feature that the market wants and that is currently missing from the Vi-PEC model range (apart from launch control or using %slip on a GP Limit table), however, based on feedback from dealers, it would also appear that this is not the highest priority.

    Consequently, we do envisage that traction control will be added to the Vi-PEC model range in the future, although at this stage we do not have a planned release date.

    I am confused :? Isnt the forum the place for you to speak directly to your customers ? When you look at this thread you immediately see that we the customers are desperately asking for this ! I would really like to know what those dealers are asking for instead :!:

    Looking at the racelogic unit this looks to be a very good solution for those that need full traction control.

    :roll: Thanks for you recommendation (sarcastic!) But I dont think it is fair that I had to put out an additional $800 (used unit) for something that was supposed to be included in the first place.

  20. Automatic Line Lock

    Hi all , I am thinking of installing a line lock kit , but I do not want to have to manyally release it because I know I will forget to release it :| , I am sure the ViPEC would be able to automatically release it when the time comes with some simple wireing and promramming. I am thinking to manually engege and automatically disengage using a pair of relays , has anyone done anything like this before ? if so what switching variables did you use for the output :?:

    if you are sick of waiting, why not sell up and use a different ECU?

    Because I actually like the product very much ! I am very pleased with its performance , I did actually look at other brands but they all seem very inferior in comparison , especially at the price!

    I was one of the first in QLD to purchase a V88 in 2008, if traction control was a dealbreaker I would have changed to another ECU years ago. But I am very happy with the way the vipecs in all my cars operate.

    I was also in the first batch , mine is a beta unit ! Back then I had just sold my AUTRONIC SM2 (which DID heve TC , by the way !) and was looking for another ECU , my local dealer convinced me to come over to this brand , after seeing the specs it was an easy choice , but TC WAS listed ! I had already been using TC and I know the value of it (it saved me and my car a couple of times!) . If it was advertised and promised then it should be delivered otherwise ViPEC can be accused of WRONGFULL ADVERTISEING with the intention of suckering people into buying their product !!

    There are more than 2 people that have been waiting for TC for a long time...

    I am rely satisfied with my v88, but i need TC to get my project car approved and on plates.

    If there is no solution for TC, i might be forced to go to another brand.

    It would be nice if someone from vi-pec can clarify when, if, and why.

    "Vi-PEC is willing to listen to what the market wants and dedicated to giving customers excellent support"

    For this reason alone I think an effort should be made to satisfy the customers and not TARNISH a GREAT product with poor support and unthruths ! If there is actually a reason why TC is not available anymore it should be stated and as I suggested , something done to "compensate" owners for the past errors and to provide this very important feature, as I stated before why develop a product to help people make tons of power that they cannot control?

    3 years is that a long wait? Maybe its because there is politics involved, since it takes THAT long, and it has been full with empty promises. ;-)

    I miss the time when Ray was here. When there was something he sorted it ASAP. This is becomming a joke.

    I have a person ready to buy my vi-pec, when I am ready, it will be sold and I will use a different brand. I just need to save up some more before I can do this.

    It saddens me , but I have to agree with you and I may have to do the same ! one of the main attractions for me was the traction control feature . The ECU is excellent at doing everything else and actually allowed me to take my motor to higher HP levels , but what good is it if I always end up off the road in a ditch when I hit the gas ? as someone once said ..... POWER IS USELESS WITHOUT CONTROL !!!!!
