Also, unless I am very much mistaken, we have the same taste in hotels! Edgar is an absolute star. Every time I go, I need to use his garage to change rear pads (at least once!)
Yeah, Edgars a great bloke, im booked in for our April trip on 13th
Also, VERY interested to hear that you are running a high compression setup. I have always believed that this gives better driveability. Any cons that you are aware of?
Its not very high, just higher than standard, and up to 400bhp, no, efinately no cons at all, as long as you stick to quality high mon fuel.
L8 ECU from 4X4 Cossie
4X4 TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)
Group A Fuel Pump (complete with fresh wiring)
Grey injectors (or possibly 560cc's)
Fitting kit for above said injectors
Sounds fine to me. Fitting kit NOT needed for the larger ones.
(55, 72 and 83lbph)
A small wiring change is needed for teh tps to work & Air injectors or aftermarket boost controller would be a bonus if you want a nice solid 30+ in teh midrange.
Then it is a trip to MSD to Modify ECU to incorporate closed loop lambda af setup
Live Map car (and generally set up properly)
Wont argue with that one.
Finally, a brief note on boost. I am advised by Turbo Technics (supplier of my t035 turbo) that the one I purchased is comfortably able to produce a reliable 2bar of boost. Will this be satisfactory for the proposed setup?
Yes, i would normally peak around 34 and then hold 28 as long as teh turbo is able.
Have I forgotten anything?
Not that i can think of at teh moment.
Are ALL 4x4 ECU's L8? and am I right in thinking that the difference is that the L8 ECU's main 'chip' lives on a baby board connected to the principal PCB.
Correct. Only thing to note is that we need the daughterbaord to be a STANDARD marelli one as the Pectel versions are not suitable for closed loop conversions.
