Hi all, i am new to this forum and I have searched a little but I am looking at buying a VP SS with the intention of turbocharging it. what is required to tune the stock ECU? Ive already got the wideband and controller from my last car.

Thanks
Will.

Welcome to the forums

For a VP your best off leaving the standard ECU and running 12P on it .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=356. It has boost support along with a few other extra features.

As for then making changes there are a few ways to go, one option is..
NVRAM - https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=167
Comms - USB or RS232

Have a read of the getting started guide in my sig too

Thanks VL400, looks like Ive got a lot of reading ahead of me.
Another thing i wanted to know, with the stock ECU am I able to run low impedance injectors without the use of ballast resistors, what sort of power can I tune for with the stock ECU?
I will be using a GT4294 @ approximately 10psi.

Oh 1 more thing, Is there anywhere in NZ where i can buy the parts required?

no you cant use low impedance injectors on the delco. I dont recommend even using a driver box, id sooner get some siemens deka 60 lb injectors, which arent that expensive, and are high impedance, and will flow plenty of fuel for your setup.

siemens deka 80lb's work well too

some 60's will be plenty, im only planning on running 10psi on a stock engine. then again.. LOL

Ok where do I get all the parts required, as im trying to cost it up between using the stock ECU and running a Megasquirt ECU.

From the for sale section .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=14

I post international so just PM me which parts your after. Total cost with postage to setup your VP for RT tuning and data logging is AU$230 for RS232 or AU$260 for USB.

Thanks bud, I will be in contact as soon as the car arrives..
Is TunerPro RT the tuning software you recommend? if so how difficult is it to use?

Yep, TP is generally what is used. Download it (RT version 5) and have play with 12P

LOL, yep im going to have a bit of a play round with it now..

For the $260 you quoted, is this the kit assembled? I have used surface mount gear before but I no longer have the eye sight and equipment for that.
Thanks again!!
Will
