Vi-Pec Standalone ECU by Open Tune

You can have all the mods in the world but without a good ECU to maximize its performance and engine management, it will be almost worthless. This has prompted the team to actively search for a standalone ECU so that the tuning can be customized to the mods.

Hence, Team Nexuscraft Kookaburra Racing is very glad and grateful to have Open Tune supply our race car, the Toyota Levin AE101, with a Vi-PEC V44 standalone ECU and fuel injection management system. Vi-PEC aptly stands for Versatile Intelligent Performance Engine Control. The highly tunable Vi-PEC V44 comes standard with motorsports related features like anti-lag, flat-shift and launch control. A perfect ECU to be used on the race car.

Having a good, capable and reliable ECU is not enough. The features available is only good if a tuner is in place to understand the needs and bring out the best in the standalone ECU's capabilities.

Hence, professional tuner, Mr Yee of Open Tune did just that. The Levin was actively tuned live at the Sepang International Circuit by Mr Yee and with countless hours to maximize its performance to the very last detail. Our team driver, Kenny Hwang worked hand in hand with Mr Yee to customize the tuning and tracking the car to ensure it meets all testing scenarios and to customize to driver and track usage.

The outcome of this tuning session is very positive and the power band generated is fantastic! The team looks forward to more tuning by Mr Yee as more modifications comes into the car to further utilize its power, a hidden gem in the Toyota 4AG engines.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue more modifications and tuning to the Toyota Levin AE101.
