Tuning tomorrow if all goes to plan.All the parts have arrived except I havn't purchased my M & W CDI unit yet so as soon as I purchase that I will start.Check back in a couple of weeks and see how much hair I have left on my head.

I use to fit and tune Microtech. Not as advanced as Motech and Autronic in respect to closed loop etc. but when you can live tune you spend 45min or so on the dyno and the car is sorted. Also the factory ECU isn't capable of correctly managing boost pressures of 20psi+. Hence an aftermarket with 3bar map is ideal. Good luck with your project supercharged88!

My car is an FG and we will be chasing 600rwkw. Will I keep my current dash functions or just go to a digital dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIRO F6 Member 1,817 Member For: 16y 13d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane, QLD Posted 20/07/09 04:46 AM Share Posted 20/07/09 04:46 AM Ive spoken to alot of people about aftermarket ECU's in the last week. Spoke to Motec and it looks like it wont work the auto box. That's the same with ViPEC. Looked into a Haltec system which ticked most of the boxes except fly by wire!!! That and my tuner isnt the biggest fan of Haltec.Im starting to think im kidding myself trying to get over 500rwkw with the auto box.Any advice would be appreciated.

The auto should change as normal, you may have to double up on some sensors like the air temp and water temp but the TPS should not need duplication.You can just start by piggybacking fuel then once you have that sorted start doing the othersOn E series cars I can exceed stock drivability and even stock cold starts but it takes alot of work and touching up of the map which can only happen when you are driving around and adjusting bit by bit.A tuner who just has it on the dyno and drives around the block for 45min cant do it. It takes alot of touching up over different whether conditions to get good drivability and startup.No ECU system will do the 6sp auto Edited 20/07/09 06:35 AM by turbotrana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
