marko r1 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi there, I have a vipec in my r32gtr, however, im not sure what version it is...I had a look at the ecu itself and it still retains the factory casing. What is the easiest way to identify if its a v44 for example? I do have the usb running off the ecu so can I simply just plug this into my laptop? Once I can identify the serial number, I csn then have full access to this forum as I am currently limited as a guest. Thanks Marko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Marko, download the current version of VTS 4.9.9 from the ViPEC website. Connect to the ecu with your laptop and go online with the software. Once online go across the top of the screen and click on the HELP tab, Scroll down to ECU INFORMATION and click on that. It will give you all the information you require. ECU Serial number, firmware version etc. Let us know if you have any issues connecting etc. Regards Dave.

marko r1 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks Dave for the prompt response. Once I retrieve the serial, I assume I can request full access to the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yep once you have the serial number flick me a PM and ill sort out full access for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriano Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 So I have bought this ecu off marko, is there any visual way of determining which top board it is? Simon tellsme its a v44, but I would like to know for future reference, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Adriano, follow the instructions I gave Marko in the second post. Other than that you need to remove the top cover of the ECU case to inspect the board etc. Regards Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriano Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sorry, should have mentioned that its out of its case, and I am not able to plug it into the car at this stage. A few of these are coming up for sale on the forum lately and it would be good to know how to recognise them, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi Adriano, A general guideline is that on the V44 based ECUs the tuning connector (white) is on the under-side of the top-board. On The V88 based ECUs the tuning connector (white) is on the top side of the top-board. This only applies for the V-series however, as on the i88 based ECUs the white tuning connector has gone back to the bottom side of the top-board.

summonme Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 So there is no way to get the serial number without powering it up? I am not able to do that now and i would really like to post in the technical forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 There will be a serial number sticker on the top board (the one will all the components on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
