Last week we tested in Cooke city for 5 days with the Vipec on the HM turbo with outstanding results. The setup included the water to air intercooler with the aerocharger set at 6 psi boost. Once we had the kit dialed in (the second day) it ran 6 psi boost at 9500ft elevation and pulled 79 gram weights at 8500rpm with no issue at all. The throttle response, consistancy and rideability of the kit + the vipec make it an outstanding combination. The charge temps were running 39 degrees in the powder and the sled pulled like an electric car from the bottom all the way through the powerband. The spark plugs at all throttle positions showed the ignition curve and fueling were spot on ,in fact the fuel curve as we sit right now is within .35 percent of perfect. The first day we tested with straight 110 race fuel and the remaining days were with 100ll avgas. The pump gas setup will be tested this week and the results will be posted later in the week. The best thing about this setup is that we will be able to run upwards of 8-10 psi boost on the stock injectors and still remain in the safe zone on injector duty cycle. The guys wanted to run straight pump gas but the cooling effect of the avgas was working so well we rode it like that for this test run. I was just to skeptical about running pump gas because prior to this we found some moisture in the gasoline at the local stations we stopped at. The kit has been ridden by quite a few people over the course of the week and hopefully the guys will chime in a little. We had nothing but grins from all the test riders so guys all I have to report is that its here and its ready so if your looking for the edge I can get you setup to rock and roll.
Here is what you will need to be ready for a vipec:
For the stock sled you will need:
1)NGK AFX wideband 02 sensor kit
For the turbo you will need:
1)NGK AFX wideband 02 sensor kit
2)GM 3 bar map sensor with 0-5 volt range
3)Intake air temp sensor- use the one we sell -its very sensitive and works well.
These 3 items will be wired into the ecu wiring harness direct to the ecu.
This software is incredible and I will list some of the things you can do with it.
1)Calibrate TPS -takes less than 30 seconds
2) datalog any sensor on the sled -Thottle position,actual 02 reading,target 02 reading,engine speed, pipe egt sensor,Intake air temp,Engine coolant temp,voltages, and the list goes on. Easy to troubleshoot your sled!!!!
3)Calibrate Map sensor for boost-takes less than 30 seconds
4)Full ignition control
5) Full fueling control
6)ECU is roughly 2 times faster than the stock ECU
7)launch control
8)Change your limits-like RPM limit and so on
9)add inputs like a gyroscope for drag racing
or a good EBC with push to pass
Guys this is it, get on the wagon now or be left behind
Im not that great with the youtube stuff so if you want to see a couple vids from Cooke my youtube name is Sledstew1. Ill add more vids later in the week.
