ViPEC - Is it the new ECU of the Future?

[LIGHTSPD]

Got your PM

[Zacho]

If you could send me a PM with pricing as well that would be fantastic. I got it a long time ago and forgot.

I am about to buy a Haltech, but if the price is better I know what I'll be buying. The haltech has my nuts in a vise money wise.

Do yourself a favor. Don't buy parts based on being cheaper. Do your research. Surprisingly it'll be close but the VIPEC should come in front :biggrin:

Bought mine today. +1 to Cam.

Spoke to him last year about one, called almost exactly 10 months later and he remembered me on the phone.

A ViPEC will be going in my car after the build for sure!

Lucky you will have easy access to a pretty good map to get you down for the good tune!

WOOOT!!

[cozmosland]

or can someone here tell me roughly the price of a unit for an r33 gtst?

[NismoS-tune]

well, since R33's are so heavy, I'd guess between $1500 and $2500

[cozmosland]

so just as expensive as anything else,
and what do u mean by heavy, what does that have to do with the vipec

[GTR-Dad]

Don't ever confuse cost and value. The ViPEC is a tremendous value proposition. (You get MORE than you pay for.)

If the cost of the ECU is a barrier, you should run the car in OEM trim for a while before you start modding. If you put even $5-$7k in parts into an engine plus your effort or someone else's labour and then blow it up because you cheaped out on the ECU, you'll feel sad.

The refernce to the R33 being heavy was a dig. The ECU doesn't care how much a car weighs.

Your probably going to be looking at around 1750 ish + tax. The price has recently gone up. Thats ecu+IAT sensor and the onboard 1.5bar map.

Lightspeed sent me a PM when I made that post and they said 2750 for install/tune etc

For exact pricing just call lightspeed.

[NismoS-tune]

I bought mine used from Farmer as a complete kit but it was missing the cover, manuals/instructions and no AIT... You're better off buying new and not dealing with people that don't reply your messages.

On another note, the 2.5 bar sensor is -1 to 1.5 bar so, like me, if you want more than 500whp, you need more than 1.5 bar most likely therefor a new sensor I think...
