Very happy with mine.
Found wolf EMS pretty helpful in reconfiguring a few bits, such as the external map sensor in to pre intercooler temp.
So I can measure pre and post temp and PSI now with the data logging though not at the same time.
I don't know if it is because it is a newer ECU or a specific strategy by Wolf EMS, but
there seems to be little information available on how to configure the wolf V500s.
A bit of Googling and I found the www.hybridz.com site which has the most
comprehensive information around and they have been more than happy to answer my
questions so far. They seem like a similar minded community, modifying the old datsun
Z series cars, even some with 1j, 2j and 1UZs
I wanted to provide the link in here for anybody else looking to play with the v500 and also
to ask people to contribute their own information.
Maybe I should know this information or be happy just plugging stuff in and fooling
around, but the engineering side of me likes to get all the information first before blowing
up my ECU

Below is a cut on past guide to configuring one of the outputs. I had sort of already figured out this would be the way to do it, but it is nice to get somebody else to confirm that as well.

With the actuall product I have been very impressed, it is the support I'm dissapointed about. Wolf EMS haven't answered any of my emails except for sending they base configuration file.
Maybe I have been asking noob questions, but if there was just some basic information published I wouldn't have to.

I have an advantage there they are 5 min drive away, turning up on the door worksOriginally Posted by OnAll-FOUR
Have you down loaded and watched all the support Videos?
I can't recall what they did and did not include.
Of the videos that work, (some don't run) they are pretty basic descriptions of where things are. Which has got me started, but it still leaves a few questions. I guess their assuming that the configuration is only being done by authorised workshops so they don't want to go into detail for the general backyard modifier.
I also tried to suggest to them that some of their videos weren't working properly but they didn't respond and they haven't updated them at all.

I bought V500 to use on my setup, ended up selling it for this reason.
Just wasn't happy with their support. Shame seamed like it could have been a great product.
I have used a few V500's, one on a 3SGTE MR2. Great ecu and very capable but support is limited(although we did get support by ringing direct). The biggest problem with it is that nothing is in plain english like most other ecu's. It's all numerical choices but there is nowhere that tells you what the choices are. They need to rewrite the software to allow plain english selection of options.
We will always use a haltech instead for these reasons(in that price range). The tuner network is crap too.
