Wolf Or Flash?

[ripbt1]

hey guys, I got a wolf v500 from a previous car im almost ready for tuning question is,

do I use the v500 or buy a sct and get a flash tune,

im aiming for 350rwkw- 380rwkw I plan to stop there but you never know,

will I have headaches installing the v500 and running it with the zf and other factory sensors

or will it be better better to sell the v500 and flash the car.

secondly anyone know a good reliable tuner that I can speak to

im in victoria

cheers

yer but why what reasons,

will I have issues with it in the bf it ran awesome in in my turbo au never had an issue.

do the x3 have any issues?

Good luck getting vehicle security and module communication to work with the wolf, falcons arent skylines, sct or hp tuners are the go

These cars are now 10 years old do u think your the first to ask this question ?

Heaps of info in here just use the search function

Ull quickly work out why

Eec v1 was chit

Current ecu's = awsome

[ripbt1]

what do mean vehicle security and module communication I dont know what that is, can please elaborate for me.

I wanna make the right choice the first time but I dont wanna take "cause I said so" as a reason or "well that's what everyone else uses".

or if you know someone that has used a wolf let me know so I can PM them

its sometimes hard to find the answers I want using the search function I tried and gave up could take hours and I might not find an answer quicker to just start a thread

The vehicles use a high speed canbus for critical module comms and vehicle security, if the main ecus dont recieve the correct signals from each module it can cause all sorts of issues. The standard pcm is fully equipped to handle over 1000hp comfortably while retaining fly by wire throttle and vct. If you interupt either the high ir medium speed canbus (by using wolf or similar) you will end up with no abs, dsc, car probably will not start. It can be made to work but flashing the stock ecu is tried and tested and works perfectly. You will not gain a thing (other than a major headache) by doing otherwise

Basically the AU didn't have half the electronic stuff that the B series onwards have. Therefore your wolf computer will not support this electronic stuff (vehicle security is what it is cant really elaborate on that, other stuff is traction control etc. The ICC talks to lots of things to allow the car to work that's part of security)

The X3 and HP software supports everything due to using the factory ECU.
