Guys just hang in there for those that are after a engine management system to control the Engine and Electronic Transmission control. Wolf would have to be the first and maybe only one aftermarket system that will be doing both. Not even the rolls royce of after market engine management systems has enough drivers to do so. AS a lot of other companies do not have enough drivers on their circuit boards to do this. A transmission controller on its own is between $700 to $2000 USD so in actual fact once the wolf can successfully control the BTr4 transmission and engine you are getting a bargain at the group price. Here are some transmission controllers only and believe me their not cheap.

The transmission and engine controlled by a wolf v500 will not be released . It has been postponed due to the large amount of rime consumed in trying to get it to control the BTr4 electronic transmission properly But the EF and EL Wolf V5 ECU's are up and running just controlling the engine side of things. The system comes with a full instructions and a base map so plug'n'play is ready for delivery. The guys that are hoping for transmission control don't hold your breathe it will not happen for a very long time , and this is from the CEO of wolf doesn't matter what others say. The factory ford ecu has to be retained if the car is automatic , so it is a side by side fit or as know by many piggyback setup where the factory EEC5 controls the transmission and the wolf controls the ignition and fuel side of things. cheers Back to top neddy Fordmods Parts Gopher Age:23 Posts: 84 Joined: 21 Jan 2005 Location: Geelong VIC, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2008 1:20 am    Post subject: So just to confirm is it still plug and play or not? I'm cool with the factory ECU controlling the auto still, but just wanna know if the v500 will be a plug-in or not.

At this price it would certainly make the conversion a lot more viable. The biggest obstacle is the flyby wire throttle body. if your prepared to change it to a cable EF/EL throttle body which should be the same bolt pattern if my memory serves me right It has enough drivers to control the 6 individual coils and camshaft solenoid cheers Back to top FPV_GTp Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Posts: 1610 Joined: 22 Jun 2005 Location: Melbourne VIC, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 5:53 pm    Post subject: Ok just would like to get at least (6) people in a one of buy. Will see what I can do for best possible price. Since 10 people seems to be out of the question. So need a show of hands for people ready to buy this week and have their funds ready. Just list you name down cheers Back to top el_xr6_luke Fordmods Tyre Shredder Age:21 Posts: 374 Joined: 21 Aug 2006 Location: Melbourne VIC, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 2:43 pm    Post subject: I know i cant plug and play in my EL auto, say if i was to wire it in, is it hard to do? im very good with electronics and can follow diagrams easily, does it come with a colour coded wiring diagram or would some body be able to tell me where i have to solder wires and cut wires etc. What will the final price be on this? Will i need to modify the distributor or anything else? Do i need to add any sensors? Do i need to run wiring to the injectors? Very interested in this, more worried about how hard it is to install as i want to do it myself.

Depends on how you set it up AFAIK...leading edge v trailing edge / reading short tooth of the distributor. To give you some kind of idea - I'm running mine full sequential with no TFI module (a couple loop backs to keep ECU happy). el_xr6_luke wrote: Do i need to run wiring to the injectors? Should be ok with injectors...V500 can take high and low impedance. Good luck with it - there are plenty here who have good knowledge of the ignition side of things. Fuel side is pretty straight forward - reg, injectors and pump. Word of advice with fuel pump - ensure you have upgraded wiring to it Back to top el_xr6_luke Fordmods Tyre Shredder Age:21 Posts: 374 Joined: 21 Aug 2006 Location: Melbourne VIC, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:54 pm    Post subject: i might just buy it then save up the little bit more and get it wired up by someone else. atleast if they f**k something up its there problem then i havent upgraded the wiring to the fuel pump just the fuel pump itself to a walbro 255 why do i need to upgrade the wiring?? whats the final price on this???

Did you end up getting enough numbers? Ok Steve , nothing went as planned , group buy didn't meet the required amount to make it worth while , plenty of interest but when it come down to the crunch people didn't have their money ready Guys just price around from the allocated dealers and see what you can get the programmable Wolf ECU's for and just drop me a PM and i will see what price I can negotiate for you. cheers Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First             Forum Index -> Wanted Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Page 7 of 7   (c)2002-2008 Matti Jones and Brad Evans [48 queries :: 0.12939 seconds ]
