Isn't it nuts how you wait months and months and months for parts/coatings/pieces etc.......and then it all comes together in less than a week lol.

keep the updates comin

Looking For Some Help!!

I need to mock up my new Stillen Fascia, has anyone done this themselves before? I need a little guideance:

Do you start in the middle and work your way to the sides (it has no pre-drilled mounting holes)?

How do you adjust the small gaps along the headlights?

Do you shim the headlights?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to cut out the step of having the body shop do fitment since the car doesn't run and it would have to be done after the motor swap and tune, so more down time. The Stillen catalog rates it as a job for professionals only, but I'm not planning on cutting anything, it matches up pretty well, just some gaps around the bottom corner of the headlights, but I installed the lights so they would match up with the hood and fenders.

You decided to go with the Vi-PEC? I just got mine installed last week it seems to be working fine. We got the car running on the Vi-PEC the Vi-PEC is controlling the drive by wire on its own(with out the factory ECU) and I think my tuner will tune it this week (so he has a base map for the future) then we are swapping the engine hopefully next week.

- So I'm not the first forum member, but still the first in the US. Dave put the Vi-PEC on his brothers car to get a base map. Shoot me a PM after your tune and let me know how it goes. I am vey excited about all the features this EMS has, Ican't wait to play around wih it.

I am excited as well I dreamed up everything i would want an EMS to do and my tuner kept saying "it can do that", "it can do that". I will let you know how the tune goes it should be this week. If he gets busy I can see it getting put off but I will keep you updated. You might have a final tune before me I still am waiting on my engine should be ready to go next week I am pulling and installing the engine myself so that might take longer than average and havent decided on 850bb or 700bb turbos yet.

Nice to see you chose the ViPEC. As the North American Training Center for the VIPEC I am sure you will be exceptionally pleased. We have now installed and have most of the features up and running for the 350Z and G35. We have finished with all the drive by wire functions. There will be a plug and play system available within the next couple weeks. If you or your tuner have any questions please feel free to call us at 1-866-95-VIPEC or you can email me at cam@lightspeedinnovations.com.

V88 ViPEC?

LIGHTSPD

Please email me for pricing we didn't come here to advertise merely support those already using . The ECU used in the plug and play will be the V88 that way we will actually have true drive by wire control.

Oh well.. Good luck Cass, I dont feel like emailing anyone..

Ballpark I paid under $2300USD for my Vi-PEC V88 maybe Cass will disclose what he paid.
Sorry for the slightly OT Cass.

Similar to Sylvan's price, just a bit more - similar to all the other to EMS when all the bells and whistles are included. I'm having mine installed onto a patch harness so it will be PnP on my car (that cost a little extra as well).

I had a similar experience in that the Vi-PEC seems to be capable of everything I wanted to do.

- Yes, the V88.

I wanted my build to be a bit different than all the others out there and this was one of those decisions (the turbos turned out that way, but not by choice). If this EMS works out then we may possibly have another viable choice for members looking for stand alones. Dave recommended over the Autronic because it has knock control, drive by wire throttle control and better support service.

The EMS stuff, like the turbo techno speak is way above my head as I am still learning as much as I can in such a short time. I put my trust in Frank and Dave and hope for the best at this point. The Haltech was a very close second and I thank Hal@IP for answering all my questions - if this EMS turns out to be a FAIL, I will be heading straight to Haltech with the quickness.

V88 Model ECU

The ViPEC V88 is our most advanced ECU. This ECU has many features which allow it to be setup to suit various types of engine configurations. It has very flexible options over how the inputs and outputs are controlled, and allows the user to design their own functions to control all sorts of devices. Precise control of injectors and ignition angle are guaranteed at very low or high RPM or manifold pressures. A very high level of protection from interference and tolerance of trigger input errors has been built into this ECU, ensuring a smooth running engine even under the most demanding conditions.

Variable camshaft control for up to four camshaft. Control of camshaft position is very precise and time taken to advance from full retard to full advance is less the 1 second. Support for VVT and VANOS systems.

Closed loop control of idle speed and boost pressure makes for a "factory" idle speed stability, and precise control of boost pressure. Boost control can be setup to provide a different boost in each gear.

Knock control with support for two sensors. Knock control is user definable with flexible settings to allow precise knock control.

E-Throttle (Electronic Throttle Control).

Peak and hold injector drivers are 10 amp. Both the peak Amps and hold Amps can be set separately in the software for optimum injector control. See setup screen.

That's so funny! My wife got her's in almost the same way execpt I bought my turbo from Dave. We got the LG with steam in white.

- Us married guys should just include that in the cost of the build.

To avoid explaining my car expenditures, my wife an I agreed to establish separate accounts for our "want items". Her's: shoes,jewery Mine: Cars

If you don't have the necessary funds; you can't get what you want. Problem solved!

I had a good chuckle about the new washer.

i got off alittle easier i think my other half found out about the EVO 12 brakes that are coming and she ended up getting a new carpet cleaner and vacum cleaner...
