turboloon

got a ecu off ebay it was advertised as possibly chipped ,also wasn't guarenteed to be working any way i won it for £25 just as a back up to another one i bought(collins 195) so i stuck it in tonight holy fuck straight round to 20 psi no banging or fuck all so well impressed going to get it set up properly tommorow but i'm using a cossie accuator just wondering if any one is using one on a rst and is it possible to get it down to about 14 psi ?also how safe is it to run a standard turbo on 18 psi for?

vroooom ptssssh

I'd keep the sanny off the floor till it's set up mate where you gettin it set up?

it's my run around so trying to do on the cheap...but as usual ending up costing me a fortune the spec is stainless steel exhaust,57i k/n,and the chip mentioned above ,and a uprated accuator running about 15 psi boost

have to agree with the above mate get it set up asap and i wouldnt cane it till then, 20 psi is a lot for a standard bottom end imho

1.9 xr2 on 40's

it could go to 20psi for a second or so neways even if unchipped

be careful


i went thru all my ecu's and just ran em up to see what teh car would pull but you have to get it running higher boost for 5 secs at least really so you know it really was accepting that pressure, could also have a hole in the vac port or summet too, shud only have run the same boost that it was set to on the other ecu too really unless you upped the boost while you changed em

14psi max on the standard intercooler otherwise it'll be what T28 RSt posted

happy days got another accuator fitted up to the car also installed bleed valve got it peaking at aprox 14psi holding 13....now my brake pedal has went spongy on me hoping it is just a corroded line or hose but knowing my luck it will be master cylinder...

ok stupid question time....ive got a chipped ecu on my motor peakin 12 n holdin 12psi, its rapid hasnt skipped a beat yet touchwood and seems to pull nicely thru all gears......so am i sposed to have this setup? i was always under the impression you pretty much just fitted the chip as so many companys do diy chips for you to fit yourself???? ive always meant to get it on the dyno to see how its doing but sumthin else always comes up i have to spend money on! argg! so what is setup?? is the airflow meter all tweeked with??

just get it done on the sun tunning machine check genral health of your car and adjust the fueling to suitboost level also get it on the rollers to ensure everything is ok

you must get the car set up properly, the afr must be checked out on the road, its up the top end it will melt. the mfi units lean off usually at the top!!

in a perfect world they would all work properly but im sure you will find out they dont
