HKS V-PRo don't know anything about it because no one except their licensed dealers can get into it. That pretty much sums it up as a complete waste of money because the end user can not even modify the simplest thing.

If you have the software you can...... Also Ultimate Racing in Toronto is an HKS PRO dealer with lots of Fcon VPro experience. They installed it in my car

I will say this, the software is out there.... I'm sure someone who doesn't care about having HKS on their ass will release it eventually.

Its official and tested we have now added closed loop wideband support to the ViPEC. What this means is you can set the ECU to look at your wideband output and maintain tune. SO to explain this a little farther other ECU's may have closed loop but what this means is after you have tuned it using the autotune. You can simply set the ViPEC to look at the wideband input and if it is off it will adjust itself to get to the set AFR you set in an AFR target table. Unlike other ECU's this will work at WOT and underboost as well. If you are worried about a wideband reading wrong you can also set the amout of adjustment in percentage for piece of mind. This is a simple firmware update.

Sounds good Cam! Looking forward to getting mine up and running in the next week or so. Is this Firmware on ViPEC's site for DL?

IMO you should definetly not set this up for WOT or really anything above 70% throttle position unless you have dual widebands (1 for every 3 cyls). If you do set it up, I would say don't have more than a 20-25% correction allowance; if it needs to correct more than that something has gone wrong with your car and it should be inspected. That being said, its a great tool to have (only used it with the Fcon VPro).

You could use dual widebands but not necessary. My personal car is holding at actually 5% and is only using about 3 percent correction. It all about how good you tune is. My AFR was commanded at 11.1 and without correction had creeped to 10.9 and with correction back at there 11.1. We are using these in snowmobiles now where a 1500 foot elevation change is experienced and the auto correction is incredible. So yes I am using it at WOT and I am also using a very small margin of correction as this is not a tool designed to compensate for a bad tune even though it would certainly help.

Hi guys, U2NDyno.com is me...feel free to contact me here via PM or via email at info(at)U2NDyno.com

This is certainly an amazing system which comes at an incredible price. To-date we have this system working on a S13 RB26DETT Drift car, in my SR20DET S14 Track Car (Found Here).

Also we have more sets on order for:
- Dave Briggs new DMCC Pro Drift car which will also feature an AIM dash intergration with ViPEC
- A Monster Holset HX35 KA-T Drag Car that will test the limits of the ViPEC lauch, traction control and flatshift systems
- I'll also be converting to V88 in the coming months as I install an LS1 into my track car.

More info on these builds can be found on my site in the coming weeks/months as we work through these brutal winter months...ready for spring.

[love_boost]

what kind of price are we looking at for an rb20?
this EMS looks very promising to me, either that i will go nistune

[falcon]

is it compatible with the 13-BREW?

V88's have already been used to control Quad-rotors so I think a little 13-BREW is no problem.

I'm waiting to get the full walkthrough with GTRdad before thinking of selling my power FC. I need something that I can use at home on a laptop and can datalog. If it has everything the power fc has and more (except for the crashing) I will have no issue going with it.

[LIGHTSPD]

I am sure GTR DAD will give you a good run through also on any given day there is probably at least 2 cars that have the ViPEC installed at the shop.
PM'd you pricing.

So I'm lining up to go with the Vipec. Strong possibility of going with the V44 but maybe the V88. I'll be talking it over with Anthony and Dan.

[Paradis]

Good choice, there is simply no Standalone EMS system that can match the Vipec at it's price and it's plug and play capability. Where are you located? Anthony "the Wizard" can certainly talk you through the process
