which engine management to use with 20vt?

As I would like to (when I come to do it) do the majority of the work myself..

what have most folk on here with 20vts used for their engine management?

As far as I can tell Motec seems to be one of the best.

Engines I just about understand.... engine management?

I'll get my coat

 

20vt management seems to be fine, once it's been sorted by 800g's....

 

Read there has been moves to run the cars using MK1 1600 GTI management - very cheap

 

I know QPE doe their plug & play kit for about 900+ vat... but I think that just sounds alot - perhaps thats just me.

"once it's been sorted by 800g's...."

how much could that set me back then?

 

give him a ring and ask - he can also supply DTA at very competitive prices

 

me got dta.

 

and happy with it mate?

What sorta price it cost you?

Keep the help coming guys

Motec has the ability to have traction control, launch control etc and so many add ons. It comes at a price though. Dont expect to get much change out of 2000.

DTA is the affordable choice and Vince at Stealth Racing(being fairly local to you) is a master at mapping it.

 

I've got Emerald. Doesn't seem to be a popular choice from what I've read in other posts but my car runs fine.

If you're near somebody that maps DTA that might be the sensible choice for you? I'm no expert [:^(] but it seems to me the mapping is more important then the system itself.

 

I've got Emerald too. All seems fine

 

More than happy mate, think its around 700-800 bucks.

BUT you have to pay 400 for mapping with vince, so bear that in mind. If you want to know how happy i am with it, go have a look for my bmw zm3 thread

 

Im pretty sure that if you buy the DTA from Vince that it includes mapping. Thats what Stef told me, but i may have heard wrong.

 

Well it sounds like DTA is definately the best option and from what I understand may make the whole transplant slightly less of a headache.

Does using DTA/Emerald solve any of the wiring loom/ecu issues involved with the swap and will I still need 1.8t ignition bits and keys?

 

yep, its a urine of cake if your car is CE2

 

pardon my stupidity..

CE2?

 

central electrics2.... if your hazard switch is on the steering column its ce2

 

90 spec

 

Don't bother replying guys - M1xmag won't ever do it...

How long does it take to fit a 91???

 

"Don't bother replying guys - M1xmag won't ever do it.."

I didnt say it would be tomorrow, but I am already collecting the bits for it.

"How long does it take to fit a 91???"



A: A long time when u have a family, a job and lots of commitments - and when its being rebuilt by me so I have the satisfaction of doing it and learning from it... j ust that little bit longer

Good things come to those who wait - and I will have waited long enuff by then

Thanks for all the help and info guys
