Hi Lee. Good to see you're having a go I've no doubt Chris will be along in a minute to tell you all about the Motec system.
Here the info on the motec no idea if it works ok or how much! http://www.motec.com.au/camcontrol.htm Edited by: Lee-GTi
It's fine mate but a bit tight being a brand new block and all that. Try and book that track day at mallory park Good to see you're still talking to me
DTA is an option... either EXP48 or P8Pro.. Some info available to read up on and play with the free software here at http://www.dtafast.co.uk
whats so bad about emerald? a mate runs an 1800 16v with eaton m62 charger on emerald, just shy of 240 atf, 192lb/ft. lovely
Emerald are fine they have recently updated there system to run boost controll etc, Take a look at that red mk2 20vt 4wd (jef Webb) that runs 400+bhp 0-60 3.81 all from an emerald system.
one good thing about that car is the way the syncro system can handle the power, but its had more pistons than petrol
Motec seems to be good, Electromotive has been highly recomended by a trusted source or get hold of OEM and pocket 2k
how good is the OE ECU compared with these aftermarket ECUs as i remember someone saying a while ago that the OE stuff on the 20vt s is quite good. if you cant be arsed wiring it yourself, use part of the 2k to pay someone to do it for you?
The OE is by far the best. Lee, dont do down the aftermarket route, get designa dubs to put it on standard management. Dad is with the 20vt after beign on emerald. www.designadubs.com/forum
