Hi
Is anyone using a Wolf 3D ecu on a 3SGTE motor? If so I would like to know how it is running?

Can't comment on the wolf.
Since completing my intercooler upgrade, (something I'd recommend to anyone)I'm looking for a computer as well.
Link make a full plug in unit. Have seen dyno sheets of factory turbo cars running 150kw at the rear wheels with an exhaust and the link.
The microtech MT-8 has been used on some I've seen also. The new High Performance Imports mag has an article on an mr2 with this computer. Reasonably accurate article too.
I think others on the list have an MT8, maybe they can give an opinion on that computer.
Any aftermarket computer is only as good as it's tuner.

Hi TA22-3SGTE
Thanks for your most informative reply I really appreciate it. May I ask how long ago was it that you used the Wolf 3D? Do you know which version it was? Take my honest word for it I am EXTREMELT SURPRISED with the latest features of the Wolf 3D version 4.
I have had full and total access to a couple of other efi systems and found Haltech E6K easy to use with its bargraphs, Autronic good for their autotune feature which I will let you know will be available for the Wolf 3D version 4 soon. MOTEC is by far my favourite just a little to pricey and a bit more difficult to use than most other units.
The new Wolf 3D version 4 has extra features not even noted in the manuals! I have the new version 4 which is laptop controllable in addition to the hand controller supplied with the Wolf 3D version 4.
Yes the Wolf 3D has extra features available via laptop that can not be accessed via the hand controller. I like the handcontroller because it allows easy access to view vac/boost pressures, inlet air temps,adjust the boost electronically, adjust the in-built turbo timer and thousands of other parameters without the need for a dedicated laptop in the vehicle.
The Wolf 3D version 4 could even hook up to the stock ignition system of my 3SGTE without modification(BUT I STILL PREFER MOTEC!). I had an adaptor plug made up where the standard Toyota efi wiring plugs came out of the efi computer and plugged into the wiring loom of the Wolf 3D version 4. I can basically install my Toyota ecu within 5 minutes if I like(I would have to install the air flow meter again though).
regards,
Richard Taranto (not a Wolf salesperson, BUT JUST LOVES HIS WOLF)

GTMR2 The Wolf I tuned was handheld type only I have not used the new type but have heard they are a lot better now , If they have now got at least 32 load points it should be a lot better , I found with less load points on a forced motor , there is not enough control to get very smooth tuning for low speed and cruising speeds or fuel economy , Have to admit if Haltech dont start to move ahead with there systems they will start to lose out as the Haltech E6K is still basicly the same as it was in the early 90's , as you can see Haltech was way ahead of time when they developed there first programable ECU .

Hi TA22-3SGTE
Going through the Wolf 3D version 4 manual...says here that it has 16 load points......interesting.

Hi again
I totally agree with TA22-3SGTE that Haltech E6K were ahead of their time. They are probably still better than the Wolf 3D version 4.
regards,
Richard

i have plans on running an E6K with my 3sgte...it currently makes 150kw @ front wheels with standard jap ecu....but should allow a lot more fine tuning with the E6K...it runs starting dizzy, coil and igniter without a problem, just need a 3bar map sensor. its an awesome computer and functionality/price are unbeatable.
