Aftermarket ecu in a vt v6

[Jervies]

I'm trying to hook up a wolf 3d computer to my vt but I want to retain my original ecu also. I'm just not sure as to weather I can run both computers uniliseing the 1 sensor or will it stuff with the readings? The wolf 3d is a vn plugin ecu by the way

VN and VT are very different (MAP vs MAF). Why do you want to run the Wolf? There is probably a better way to do it.

[Jervies]

It's got low impedance injector drivers, wastegate controller and a handpiece so I can do small alterations on the fly. I'm going to be running 25psi boost and it's already got a kalmaker tune on it from my old setup but I'll probably sell that as I can do the running my self. Also because I have the ecu already lol

Things like the IAT and CTS will need to install a second sensor and you will have to mask some error codes on the VT PCM.

Would a kalmaker mafless setup be a better/easier option? Other than low impedance injector driver it keeps everything happy. Can get some pretty big high impedance Deka's though.

It's already a got a kalmaker 3bar mafless tune. I already have this stuff is why I'm trying to work with it. The low impedance injectors are for a e85 tune. I'm going to get it running with the standard computer first then switch it all over when I get it tuned. It's just much cheaper to get the wolf tuned and have the ability to have street tune with low boost and a race tune with medium boost and e85 tune with huge boost. The wolf can store dual maps and I have the hand piece so I can pull boost and timing for the street. Iv done abit of studying on the wiring diagrams and I think I may be able to hook it up parrarell and just disconect the stuff off the delco when I get it tuned. Then I just have to swap ecus to a standard with some tunepro mods to it

I dont think it will be cheaper with the wolf, because it wont work with your dash or ignition (AFAIK). You will open a can of worms if you do that. Since you allready have kalmaker, you would be best to find a tuner who can work with that which will run everything else in your car. You dont really want a tune that runs reduced timing because that'll burn the same amount of fuel for less power and cost you because of that. You best off running optimal timing and controlling the power with your right foot. It could turn in to a religeous war, so do whatever you want... but the wolf wont run the holden sequential ignition module, or the dash.. so be prepared for the trouble that'll create if you decide to try for it.

[Jervies]

I'm keeping the original computer for the dash stuff and trans control, iv ran a separate harness for the low impedance injectors and some extra wires so I can couble up on sensors if I have to. The wolf has a 3 wire output for the injectors

[krusty]

There are plenty of big flow high impedance injectors. Try tough car parts for some ID1200 equivalents maybe

If you already have a kalmaker 3 BAR tune on there it mat be cheaper to buy the W86 software bundle for your self. You got balls to learn to tune on a set up like that like that though

So is there a vt xdf with all of the auto controlls on it as the one i used on ny van had very limited auto adjustments. Cheers

I haven't personally done much with the VT but alot of the newer model stuff are what you see is what you get at the moment, there just hasn't been alot of people developing them yet i guess. i did a VS V8 S3 (which is pretty much the vt driveline) and it seemed to have all the trans stuff in it i needed, but im not sure if newer xdf's at like it or not.
